When Does Wizz Air Release Flights? Booking Window Explained

Wizz Air releases its flights in batches rather than all at once, typically making seats available around ten to thirteen months ahead of departure. Like Ryanair, it does not publish a single fixed release date, instead loading inventory on a rolling basis, so availability can appear at different times for different routes.

How the Wizz Air Release Works

Because the process is rolling, there is no guarantee that every route in a season opens on the same day. Flights for a given period generally become bookable somewhere inside that ten to thirteen month window, and it is worth checking back if the route you want has not appeared yet. The best way to track a specific route is to monitor the Wizz Air timetable or set a price alert on a comparison tool.

It is worth noting that Wizz Air's separate All You Can Fly membership works on a completely different and much shorter basis, with members only able to book within a window that opens 72 hours before departure and closes three hours before. That is a niche product and does not affect normal advance bookings, which follow the standard batch release above.

Getting the Best Wizz Air Fares

As with the other budget airlines, Wizz Air prices rise as seats sell, so the cheapest fares on popular dates are usually found early. Booking soon after a route opens is the dependable way to secure a low fare on busy dates, and flexible travellers can often save by shifting a day either side of the weekend.

Before You Fly

Wizz Air operates a strict, pay for what you use baggage model, and the free allowance is a single under seat bag only. Anything larger needs WIZZ Priority or a purchased hold bag, all covered in our Wizz Air baggage allowance guide. You can also read our Wizz Air airline guide and follow flights on the day with live boards such as Luton departures.
