    WizzAir is perfectly fine. Yes, it's basic and you have to make sure you follow all the rules so you don't get charged fees, BUT you can fly from London to Athens and back for the price of a pizza. What do you want? The planes are clean, the staff is fine, planes are on time generally. Just eat in advance, make sure your bag does not exceed the allowed dimensions, scan your boarding pass sit down in your seat, watch a podcast on your phone, and you're at your destination. If you want a better experience, pay another $100 for British Airways. I really don't get people complaining, it really annoys me. These airlines have enabled millions of people to fly who couldn't afford to before, they're great in my opinion.

Everything extra is charged a fee. That’s how they make their money.✈️

With regard to Covid, some sectors are flying full again so what do you do, you cant force an airline to block out seats in middle rows, they will simply be crippled. I last flew with them three weeks ago and also with LOT two weeks ago and both enforced mask use except during the need to eat of course and they both handed out hand sanitizer wipes. So I don't know, but like everything give them a shot again as a benchmark. I've flown maybe 16 times with them and no issues.

    Wizz Air had a period of offering ridiculously cheap fares on some routes from Glasgow to different cities in Poland, it provided some brilliant weekend trips! They have moved all of their Polish routes to Edinburgh and unfortunately, it doesn't seem like there are many bargains to be found anymore, maybe that's just the COVID market messing with things though.

    I have flown Wizz Air a few times, just like I have flown dosens of other airlines around Europe. I actually think they are ok for a budget airline. Way way better than Ryanair, for instance. I like that they have fairly cheap inflight drinks, which I tend to purchase when I fly. And the cabin crew are quite friendly and seem to enjoy their job. This can certainly not be said about all airline crews.

    Katowice, actually, was the first ever Wizz Air's operating base. The first ever Wizz Air flight took of from Katowice back in 2004 (W61001 to Luton).
    Katowice is also one of the Europe's biggest metropolis. Surprised that you said you don't know where exactly it is. About 3.5 Milion people live in Katowice urban area. It is comparable to Berlin...

They also had a special needs pax in my row and the crew was simply fantastic with him, I admit I actually teared up a bit. Thank u so much for doing this challenge, really loved it!
