Hello , I booked tickets for 3 people today and there was an error in the surname of one of them ( I wrote the surname with the diacritical mark - it happened that this letter was omitted - there is simply a space between the first letter and the rest). I would like to ask how this can be corrected, as I assume we will not get away with it at check-in. Thank you for your reply.
One letter is not addressed
I have a problem with paying for tickets through my account. I paid based on their instructions with the reservation number and name in the message to the recipient as requested. The payment went through, but once they urged it and today they cancelled my flight. No resolution on chat, via email and on 900 140 940. Does anyone have a tip on how to contact the person responsible by email. Or go to the airport?
Thanks
It's hard to find a (dis)responsible person in this company. Use the complaint form on their website and scold yourself for not finding reviews and feedback on paying for your ticket by transfer with Wizz. Those who want to fly with them as well, don't use the transfer as a matter of principle.
"WIZZ Link allows passengers to combine multiple Wizz Air flights into one booking, opening up almost 8,000 new route combinations across key hubs such as Budapest, London, Rome, Warsaw and Tirana. What previously required repeated searches and separate transactions can now be scheduled and booked in one seamless process, all within our ecosystem, " the carrier said in a press release.

According to what the article says, it won't be such a big deal.
So if it means that when I change/cancel one segment, I'll be able to rebook/refund all the other segments as well, I would consider that an advantage over the status quo. Otherwise, probably not much else extra to expect.
Exactly @Ala. There's a lot of chatter about it everywhere and it probably won't really help with emergencies, but if Wizzair sort out the changes days/weeks before departure and allow a full rebook then it will help mega. It will actually make it usable
That's about the only advantage there is. Otherwise, I wonder how their system handles the transfer time calculation. Since it's actually two separate flights, no MCT can be used.
Especially if you have to check in again.
I did not receive a confirmation code by email.
How can I get the code again?
Hello, has anyone had the experience of buying tickets, paying by bank transfer, but receiving an email saying that it hasn't been paid for and if you don't sort it out within 24 hours, the tickets will be cancelled? The problem is that the money has gone, the bank has confirmed it and the helpline has not advised us.
That's the worst possible way to pay at Wizz. They'll probably cancel it and you'll be pulling money out of them for a while.
This happens with Wizz if the 6-digit code (in the comment field) is incorrectly entered or missing during the transfer payment. .... As Jox writes, this is the worst possible payment method at Wizz...but they will refund the payment relatively quickly.
Hi, am I entitled to a refund for simply changing departure times that don't suit me? Or does this only apply to cancellations? Thanks :)
Depending on the size of the change, Wizzair will either offer you a change and cancellation or not.

Hi, does anyone know if Wizz has the new check-in pens at Ruzyne and how they work? Thanks a lot
Not just Wizz and it works exactly the same as if there weren't any. You walk in and you beep your boarding pass.
Thanks, did I catch that they were closing early or something?
They're closing as usual.
If you get to the boarding on time, there's no problem. You just have to take into account that there is no toilet behind the pen, so you have to go before you get into the pen.
Wizzair – for goodness’ sake, there’s nothing worse. Be careful if you suffer from eczema; those scoundrels will let you fly anywhere in the world, but on the return journey they’ll fleece you. Those scoundrels will strip you bare – if you’re carrying a wallet,a small handbag or something similar in your hand, they’ll stop you immediately and demand 73 euros; if you don’t pay, they’ll tell you you won’t be flying and won’t even talk to you at all,The biggest problem, however, is that even if, for example, you put that wallet in a rucksack that meets the size and weight limits,you’ll only have two items with you. If there are two of you travelling, they have no right to demand anything from you, as you’ll be passing through with two pieces of hand luggage; yet they still won’t let you through until you pay the fee, even though you’ve got rid of the third item.It’s blatant extortion and illegal; quite simply, you won’t be allowed to fly until you’ve paid, and there were quite a few of us there – it happened to us on the flight from Barcelona. That woman, Čupka, wouldn’t speak to anyone, and I hope she’ll pay for it one day.We’re definitely going to leave it at that and lodge a complaint with the airline, and if that doesn’t help, we’ll take it to the European Consumer Centre (ESC), which is responsible for air carriers – if only on principle. A word of warning to everyone flying with Wizz Air, especially to Barcelona.
