How much does it cost to cancel an Wizz Air flight?
Cancelling a Wizz Air booking isn’t free unless you added WIZZ Flex or the airline cancels your flight.
The fee depends on when you cancel and is shown in your account before you confirm.
Typical Wizz Air cancellation fees
- 15 days or more before departure: usually around €60 per passenger.
- Within 14 days of departure: Wizz applies a “seat protection” fee that’s typically around €80 to €83 per passenger.
Fees can vary by route and currency, and Wizz shows the exact amount during the cancellation process in your account.
It’s important to check how far in advance you need to cancel[/caption]
If you added WIZZ Flex at the time of booking, you can cancel online up to 3 hours before departure and receive a refund in WIZZ credits instead of paying the standard cancellation fee.
If Wizz cancels your flight or offers a significant schedule change, you can request a refund or choose a free alternative in your account.
You can cancel online up to three hours before your scheduled departure.
The system will display the exact fee and any refundable amount before you proceed.
How far in advance do you have to cancel?
You can cancel a Wizz Air booking online, but you must do so at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure to use the standard cancellation options.
Leave it any later and you won’t be able to cancel the ticket through your account.
Got a return on the same booking? You must cancel before the first flight departs.
If you cancel the outbound, the return is cancelled too.
If you choose a refund to your WIZZ account (credits), that typically cancels all flights for all passengers on the same reservation.
Once you hit confirm, the cancellation is final and you can’t undo it, so double‑check the passengers, flights and refund option before you proceed.
Will I get my money back if I cancel my flight?
The amount of money you receive back depends on when you cancel and what you bought.
- More than 14 days before you fly: you can cancel and get the fare back minus Wizz’s cancellation fee. If you used WIZZ Discount Club, they’ll also deduct the value of any club benefits from the refund.
- Within 14 days of departure: you can still cancel, but Wizz applies a seat protection fee. Your refund is the fare minus that fee and any recoverable club benefits or services.
When you could get more back:
- WIZZ Flex added at booking: you can cancel online up to three hours before departure and get a refund in WIZZ credits to use on a future booking.
- Flight cancelled or significantly changed by Wizz: you can request a cash refund to your original payment method or choose a free rebooking.
Refunds for voluntary cancellations are usually to the original payer and exclude non‑refundable extras.
You’ll see the exact amount and any fees in your account before you confirm.
Once you confirm a cancellation online, it’s final, so double‑check the passengers and flights first.
