    Wizz Air (Poznan to Luton Airport)

    Back to Poznan Airport and this is a sculpture by Henryk Gida Bakalarczyk, it makes quite an impact in the departures area just before security.

    There’s my flight to Luton Airport, using the Wizz Air all you can fly pass that I decided to get to try it out, so that means it’s £8.99 for the flight.

    After visiting the lounge and going through border control, the non-Schengen area of the airport is quite sizeable with plenty of seating.

    They were boarding the aircraft early and, as ever, it was all efficient and organised.

    And boarding.

    I take these photos in the hope of capturing the registration of the aircraft, otherwise I have to look it up. And it isn’t visible, so I did have to go and look it up, it’s G-WUNA, I don’t think it’s an aircraft I’ve been on before. By chance, it was the first anniversary of Wizz Air bringing this aircraft into service, but they didn’t provide us with cake or anything to mark that milestone.

    And safely back into Luton Airport. It wasn’t the most comfortable journeys as I was in the middle seat and felt a little cramped on this journey, but it’s a relatively short flight and I amused myself watching stuff on my phone. There were some winds from Storm Darragh which added some extra excitement in terms of the landing, although it was otherwise uneventful. There was absolutely no delay at all with getting through border control as there was no queue, so plenty of staffing once again at Luton Airport.

    It was very lovely, thank you Wizz Air. I still like this all you can fly pass, it wasn’t the longest stay in Poznan, but there seemed to be a suitable choice of destinations that I could go to. I’m already occupied with other things this week, but hopefully I’ll get to use the pass again in December and perhaps quite a lot in the new year.

    Wizz Air : All You Can Fly Pass

    I wrote about this pass before when I thought about getting it a couple of months ago and then didn’t as there were a few unknowns about it. I’ve followed numerous Facebook and on-line groups about the pass and it’s a useful programme provided you can be quite flexible. Fortunately, I can be, so I’ve taken the gamble on Wizz Air not going bust and have bought the pass. I suspect that quite a lot of things will likely now go wrong with it such as encountering payment issues when buying tickets, but I think it’s an interesting thing to see how it works out and whether it might save some money or lead to some unexpected adventures.

    The pass came to just under £500 and allows users to book flights for £9 each, but they must be departing in the next three days. Effectively, they’re just trying to get rid of excess inventory. I’ve seen a lot of people unhappy with the pass, but I think they were mainly hoping for better availability from some smaller airports or more guarantee of return flights. Since I live my life in a state of slight chaos, this situation doesn’t overly concern me. With travel, I have a generally Zen like calm that my friend Liam has to life generally.

    Anyway, using the pass I’ve started with a return flight to Poznan departing tomorrow and returning the day after (I kind of need to be back, although it’s not essential if I can’t be), just when Storm Darragh might well prove to be problematic. Well, what could possibly go wrong….. I suspect I’ll be posting what’s gone wrong quite quickly, but I’m always one for a travel adventure and I wanted to be part of this.
