Budget European airline Wizz Air has launched an ‘all you can fly’ unlimited annual subscription, which is set to begin in September, and includes flights to and from France.
Until 23:00 today (August 15), the annual ‘Wizz All You Can Fly’ pass will cost €499, rising to €599 afterwards. The pass will last 12 months, and will be valid on flights from September 25.
Passholders will be able to book using the subscription up to three days before the flight they want if seats are available. A total of 10,000 All You Can Fly passes are available for purchase.
The pass includes:
Unlimited flights within the Wizz Air network per year, any combination (e.g. round trip/return or two single flights)
Flights up to three days in advance, subject to availability. Seats are not guaranteed.
One small (under seat) carry-on bag per flight included. Other bags must be added and paid for separately.
There is a €9.99 (or equivalent) extra fee payable separately, per flight. This is charged in the currency of the booking.

It also operates flights to/from Geneva in Switzerland; and Brussels Charleroi and Brussels in Belgium.

Additionally there are flights to and from some more eastern nations, including Turkey, Georgia, Jordan, Azerbaijan, Egypt, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Israel.
However, not all of the airports have routes between each other, so the flights will depend on the routes operated.
For example, Paris Beauvais has routes to and from:
Milan Malpensa, Italy
Belgrade, Serbia
Tirana, Albania
Skopje, North Macedonia
Sofia, Bulgaria
Timișoara, Cluj-Napoca, Bucharest, and Lași in Romania

Similarly, the flights to and from the UK and France are limited.
For example, there are not any flights from the UK to Paris. London Gatwick has routes to and from Grenoble, Lyon, and Nice in France; while London Luton only goes to Grenoble (in France; it offers Wizz Air flights to many other places outside of France).

Frequent flyer passes - including from UK
The pass is one of several ‘frequent flyer’ programmes offered by Wizz Air, which also include monthly ‘Multipass’ subscriptions for flights from specific countries. For example, the Multipass for flights from Austria costs €59.99 for one-way flights, or €119.99 for the roundtrip option.
There are also Multipasses for flights from countries including Romania, Hungary, Cyprus, Albania, Poland, and Italy - as well as the UK.
The UK pass costs €64.99 for one one-way flight per month, anywhere in the Wizz Air network, booked at least five days in advance. The cost rises to €129.99 per month for a UK round trip.
‘Worst airline?’
The Hungarian company has had chequered fortunes of late.
It was rated the ‘worst airline company’ in 2024 by UK consumer magazine Which? and in June, Wizz Air was named the worst airline for the third year running, based on its delay record.
Wizz Air planes from UK airports were delayed by an average of 31 minutes, the PA agency said, based on official data.
The airline was also fined €770,000 by competition authorities in Hungary, after it found it guilty of misleading communications, and encouraging people to buy expensive packages.
However, Wizz Air told the BBC it “questions the legality of the fine, disagrees with its reasoning and is taking legal action”.
In August, the airline reported a 44% drop in operating profit for the first quarter of the year, which led it to alter its profit forecast for the year.
