Unlimited Flight Deals May Not Be Such A Bargain

WizzAir recently became the first European airline to launch an annual “All you can fly” pass, starting at an introductory price of €499 per year, which will rise to €599 annually after August 16, Indrabati Lahiri reported for Euronews.

While unlimited flight plans like WizzAir’s new offer are marketed as cost-saving options for frequent travelers, they come with several potential downsides. Other airlines, such as Frontier Airlines, Air Canada, and Porter Airlines, also offer similar multi-flight or unlimited flight deals, but they often include hidden catches.

For example, WizzAir’s “All you can fly” pass is currently capped at 10,000 memberships, spread across multiple airports in Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia.

Additionally, these flight deals often include extra charges, such as a nominal flat fee per flight (€9.99 in WizzAir’s case), along with potential additional costs for seat selection, checked baggage, and carry-on luggage. Extras like snacks or drinks are also not included in the deal price.
