Hi Guys,

Not sure how many of you use Wizz Air or know about the account discount, but with everyone looking for cheap flights, I thought this may help...
Wizz fly from Luton to Sofia and offer the chance to open a Wizz Account Plus - I fly every week with them from Sofia to Luton (in and out on the same day) and use them simply due to the timings, but also because of the bonus you get. If you open an account with them, you get 15% discount if you put in 400gbp, 25% discount if you put in 800gbp. So basically, you nearly get one flight for free or at least the cost of the baggage. You can book flights for up to 5 different names but the account holder must be travelling on the same booking. If you don't have enough credit, you can pay the remainder by card, or if you have any left after you have booked it carries over to your next booking and is valid for 365days. You pay 10gbp to load money into the account, but then no additional card fees after this.

EG: I load my account with 1000euros (over the phone by card) and then they credit the account with 1250euros. I then book all my flights using wizz account plus and they just deduct my flights from the balance in the account - this way, I get 250euros worth of flights free. It can only be used for flights operated by Wizz air Hungary but they operate the BG / UK route.

Basic figures are:
Paid amount 500 EUR/400 GBP - credited amount: 575 eur / 460gbp (Bonus 15%)
Paid amount 1,000 EUR/800 GBP - credited amount 1,250 EUR/1,000 GBP (Bonus 25%)

So...for anyone thinking of coming out of Luton, I would recommend you open the account first and then book your flights so you can use your bonus money.

Hope this helps!

Hi Matt,

It is basically for the frequent flyer, but can also be used by family friends etc as you can book up to 5 different names on the same booking as long as you / account holder is one of them.

I am also pretty sure you could use it even if you don't use 400gbp in 1 year..... The balance in the WIZZ Account is available for 365 days after payment into the account is made and any balance left in the account upon expiry will be lost BUT you don't have to fly within this period - eg: you could book one flight say now for march 2011, you could then wait until next year (say October 2010) and book another flight for march 2012. As long as you 'spend the money' in the account in 12 months, it doesn't matter if the flights are 18months apart...

Just re-read this and not sure if that makes sense?!
