Budget airline relaunch 'unlimited flights' pass but travellers are warning over one detail

Not all travellers are happy about the deal

A budget airline has relaunched their 'unlimited flights' membership - however, travellers have already pointed out one major issue.

The creation of budget airline travel has allowed more people than ever to enjoy the many wonders which the world has to offer, meaning our appetite for jetting around the world is now bigger than ever.

Keen to capitalise on the rising number of budget-savvy globetrotters is Wizz Air, who launched their All You Can Fly membership scheme.

However, the scheme has already received backlash, with several people all pointing out the same issue.

What is Wizz Air's All You Can Fly membership?

Originally launched earlier this summer, the All You Can Fly scheme allowed travellers to purchase an annual pass for £414 (€499), which meant they were eligible for unlimited international flights to all 200 of the airline's destination, which spanned across 50 different countries.

Despite environmental backlash, the scheme proved to be hugely popular, with all of the initial 10,000 memberships selling out within 48 hours of being made available.

The popularity has seen the budget airline decide to relaunch the scheme for a slightly inflated price of £495 (€599).

Sounds like a dream for a frequent flyer, right? Well, not according to everybody.

Is Wizz Air's All You Can Fly membership worth the money?

Responses were mixed after the airline announced the return of the scheme on social media, with several frustrated travellers highlighting issues with finding available flights.

According to Wizz Air's website, All You Can Fly members can book flights 3 days (72 hours) and 3 hours before departure, meaning the scheme is only usable for last-minute travel.

"Biggest scam going by an airline, spend hundreds of pounds just for Wizz air to tell me there are never any flights available. I have never managed to book a flight since buying the membership in the summer," one user replied to their announcement on X.

"It’s a scam, cancelled my subscription. No flights available for this membership," a second user added.

Responding to the claims, a spokesperson for Wizz Air told LADbible: "Since the initial launch of the membership back in August, our data shows that availability has not been an issue for the vast majority of All You Can Fly members, who have been able to find availability on their preferred flights over 90% of the time. The membership is a brilliant way for spontaneous travellers to fly to WIZZ destinations at any time.

"However, as clearly stated in the Terms and Conditions of the membership, each flight is subject to availability, and as such we cannot guarantee availability for members for every single flight. The details of this can be found on the All You Can Fly website."
