When does Wizz Air check-in open?
Wizz Air (W4) opens online check-in 30 days before departure if a seat has been purchased, and 24 hours before departure without a purchased seat. Check-in closes 3 hours before departure in both cases. Same as W6.
Seat selection on Wizz Air
At check-in: A seat cannot be chosen free of charge: a random seat is assigned automatically and free of charge at check-in (24 hours before). Same as W6. Choosing a seat in advance: for a fee: at booking, later online or in the app, or at the airport up to 3 hours before departure; included in the WIZZ Go/WIZZ Flex packages and Privilege Pass. Without a paid seat: the free seat is only a random one, seating together within one booking is not guaranteed; check-in without a purchased seat is possible only from 24 hours before departure. After check-in: only a paid upgrade to front-row seats or overwing-exit seats; clause 9.3 is the same in the W4 and W6 conditions.
Boarding pass
A PDF (download or print), in the app, in Wallet; some airports do not accept a mobile boarding pass and require a printout. Passengers with non-EU documents go to the desk for a document check and a stamp on the boarding pass; when PRM assistance is declared, the boarding pass is not printed online. Agadir (Al Massira) and Zaragoza: only at the airport (free of charge); children under 14 check in only together with an adult aged 16+. Same as W6.
Connecting flights
There are no connections or through tickets (point-to-point): each flight is a separate contract, with separate check-in and boarding pass for each flight.
Changes after check-in
According to a 2013 Wizz Air press release, yes: free online "un-check" before changing a booking; the current help centre does not describe this.
1Checkin has checked passengers in on Wizz Air flights departing from Malaga (AGP), Athens (ATH), Barcelona (BCN), Bergamo (BGY), Bologna (BLQ), Budapest (BUD), Beauvais/Tille (BVA) and Yerevan (EVN), plus 18 more airports.
