About Wizz Air
Wizz Air is a low-cost airline from Hungary, with its head office and a major base in Budapest. Its network grew out of Central and Eastern Europe, and countries such as Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary remain at the centre of it. From there it flies to Western and Southern Europe, the UK, and some destinations outside Europe. The group has sister operations, including Wizz Air UK and Wizz Air Malta. Flights have a single economy cabin, and most services beyond the seat itself are sold as add-ons or bundles. Wizz Air is not an alliance member.
For routes where Wizz Air is an option, you can search live fares on IATA.co in the booking portal or through the flights API and pay from your prepaid balance. Wizz Air fares appear in your search results whenever our flight suppliers offer them for your route and dates. Check the fare rules on screen before confirming.

Booking Wizz Air fares as a travel agent
Travel agents book Wizz Air fares on IATA.co without their own IATA accreditation. Activate an agency account, top up a prepaid balance, then search live W6 fares in the booking portal: the price, baggage and fare rules are shown with each offer before you confirm, and the amount is deducted from your balance. Wizz Air results appear whenever our flight suppliers return them for your route and dates, so what you can book follows live supplier content rather than a direct airline deal.
Search Wizz Air (W6) through the flights API
Developers and agencies can run the same Wizz Air search from their own site, app or back office through the IATA.co flights API. Filter a search by the carrier code W6 and read the fares back as JSON, then book from the same prepaid balance. See the flights API and the API docs for the full reference.
