This is an exciting development for me since I seem to find myself in Krakow once or twice a year over the past few years. Several of these new Wizz destinations interest me, especially Kutaisi, Kiev, Nice and Oslo.
Seems every time I fly Wizz Airlines, four times in the past year and as recently as six hours ago, I read an intriguing article in their inflight magazine about Kutaisi, Georgia.
Nice is a great arrival location for exploring cities along the French Riviera.
My wife adamantly says she does not want to go to Ukraine. Well, I can test her reluctance when I dangle a $28 ticket at her and dare her to stay in Krakow on her own while I finally visit Ukraine.
I have booked hotel stays in Kiev two times in the past year and then canceled them when my plans changed to another destination.
Wizz Discount Club and Priority Boarding fee are good deals
The deal with Wizz Airlines is priority boarding for this ticket is $6usd, which allows one carry-on bag and one underseat bag. Traveling with a small roll aboard and backpack is the way I fly.
Wizz Discount Club for 29.99 EUR tends to pay for itself with two flights in a year of membership, especially if you need a checked bag.
I take my chances with seat assignments.
I was in a middle seat today on a 90 minute Wizz Air flight Warsaw to Stockholm Skavsta NYO that cost me $16 all-in. My free seat roulette did not deal me a winning number for a window or aisle this spin. The weather was cloudy, so no good photo opportunities from the window anyway and I did not desperately need a toilet during the flight as the woman in the aisle slept.
Just be sure to download the Wizz Air app and check-in before airport arrival to get your mobile boarding pass or print it out. Wizz will charge you 35EUR or so if you arrive at the airport without a boarding pass.
