How far in advance do you have to cancel?

You can cancel your flight at any time but if it is too close to flying, you may not get a refund.

It is important that you cancel as soon as you know you are not able to fly.

If you have a one-way flight, cancellation of the reservation must be completed up to three hours prior to the scheduled departure time of the flight.

If the reservation includes a return flight, the cancellation can be made before the departure of the first flight. In this case, both flights will be cancelled.

If a refund to a Wizz account is requested all flights for all passengers included in the reservation will be cancelled and become invalid.

Once you have requested a cancellation online the process is irreversible and no further modification is possible.

Will I get my money back if I cancel my flight?

The amount of money you receive back depends on how close to the flight departure time you cancel.

The website states:

• If the cancellation is made more than 14 days prior to departure, the passenger is entitled to the refund of the total fare after the deduction of the cancellation fee and the Recovery of the WIZZ Discount Club benefits.
• If the cancellation is made within 14 days prior to departure, the passenger is entitled to the refund of the total fare after the deduction of the seat protection fee, the recovery of the Wizz Discount Club benefits and other services.
