W!zz Air’s new iPhone application to book flights will be available for all iPod and iPhone users starting from next week!

Iphone application

This morning  in time, the same announcement took  place at the countries following: Hungary, Slovakia, Croatia, Czech Republic Poland, Romania and Slovenia. Some questions many might already have in mind. Here is a couple of answers to the thoughts: Will it work on the tablets? We were told it ain’t yet been developed as a separate computerized application. They are keeping that in mind to have it later rolling along just as well as on the use of iPod and iPhone. The Android’s new app is already at the AppelStore, but said for the W!zz Air it will only be available in May, 2013., because at the moment it is under the development stage. W!zz Air  came out with its mobil application in use to  book for any flight, but unfortunately only W!zz Discount Club members can take the advantage of all the features. Mobile check-in cannot be in use, but it was said it will be available this coming March. There are no plans running on yet in charging the accounts at  the W!ZZ AIR. Those passengers already registered are able to sign in immediately and going through the “pages”  can book their tickets.  Once the reservation is carried out there will be no  possibility to modify it. As for the future it is expected to be able to register on the application, until then it can still be made on the website.  Caution… Only the members who pay the 8900HUF annual fee  for W!zz Discount Club membership can use it. The system does not memorize the credit card information for safety reasons, but as soon as  the function becomes available then notice will appear on the website. Unfortunately, at the moment still have to get your ticket using the „old way”, e-ticket printing method. The fact that by the use of the mobile phone  to check-in is still ahead, was told it will take two to three weeks. It requires further appropriate negotiations and going through in the development stage. Naturally, some places have to pay for that service, and as for the mobile boarding pass reading development and investment on the ground handling companies obviously will have to be paid by the airline. After the booking the reservation can do with acredit card or with the usen of the person’s account balance! The cards eccepted: MasterCard,Visa, Wizz Card Hungary, Wizz Card Romania, Wizz Card Poland. Simply tap the submit payment button after finalizing the booking procedure.

Easy to follow, because the app are available in Hungarian, English, German and Romanian languages ​.

AS W!ZZAIR SAYS … WALK ON … WALK OFF! … AT THE BUDAPEST AIRPORT

Wizz Air confirms terminal bus service at Budapest Airport Current airport walking and tent boarding don’t meet

Wizz Air’s safety and service standards.

Budapest, 12th November 2012: Wizz Air, Hungary’s low-cost, low-fare airline, today confirmed its return to bussing passengers during boarding and disembarkation of all its Budapest flights from tomorrow, 13th November. Over the last week the airline has tested a low-cost facility proposed by Budapest Airport which did not allow for Wizz Air to carry passengers by bus. To use these temporary facilities passengers have to wait outside in tents to board their flights.

After carefully monitoring this trial and collecting passenger feedback on it, Wizz Air now confirms it will return to its original procedure of using busses to comfortably and safely carry passengers to and from the aircraft as the temporary low-cost facilities proposed by Budapest Airport do not comply with Wizz Air service and safety standards.  Should these low-cost facilities and processes significantly improve, Wizz Air will evaluate the airport proposal again.

Daniel de Carvalho, Corporate Communications Manager at Wizz Air, said: “Wizz Air is always open to work with its airport partners to ensure lower costs and lower airfares. Just seven months ago Wizz Air agreed to move from Terminal 1 at Budapest to Terminal 2, to help the airport lowering its own operational costs. We certainly welcome the airport’s commitment to find new ways to lower costs by suggesting different boarding procedures and Wizz Air happily tested these and collected passenger’s opinion. On behalf of our passengers  we cannot accept substandard facilities such as those currently in place at Budapest Airport, that effectively leave passengers in the cold waiting to board their aircraft with no access to sanitation nor adequate protection of adverse weather conditions. We do not compromise on these standards and until a much improved customer friendly solution is proposed by the airport, Wizz Air will provide a bus service for its passengers to and from the aircraft.”
