How many people were not wearing masks on board? 1 in 10? 1 in 20? Great to see the take off and landing footage speeded up. Have you thought about showing a timeslip of an entire flight? That would be awesome! haha - p.s it's still the summer not autumn! ;)
So I love your videos but the only question I have is I want to do something like this but what are the restrictions in a sense of isolating. If I dont leave the airport do the rules still apply
Watched with my 6 year old daughter. She thought WizzAir looked amazing. I told her they are the ultimate in luxury, and maybe one day I'll buy her a ticket. She won't be watching any of your first class reviews.
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.
Katowice to Luton was actually their first route! I personally love them, never pay any fees, travel light. For sure they are not the best in terms of comfort, but certainly provide value.
My friendly neighbour in HK several years ago was a captain on Wizz and he went CX as co pilot with enormous hours after Australian air force and said they were very safe and procedures for safety amazing and maybe a cheap carrier but he always felt comfortable with theri maintenance and new planes. He always said he was the only CX pilot who had flown into Tashkent many times .
This is why I love your channel! You travel for the FULL experience! You don’t just shows fancy Emirates suite; you shoe THIS! Thank you for your service! 😊
It's amazing that you can fly to so many places in just a few hours. Imagine what the medieval people had to go through where it took months to traverse continents.
You are a mad man, Mr. Philips. One flight, two maximum, would have been enough to determine what Wizz Air was like. That said, it was interesting to see how different countries are handling flight operations and what sort of challenges are thrown up as you transit through various airports. Great video, thanks.
Honestly, compared to easyJet & Ryanair, WizzAir are by far the best low-budget airline in Europe. Their seats are more comfortable, the crew I've always found to be nicer, and the cabin service is also better.
I used to do this on Ryanair when they did penny flights. Went Prestwick to Beauvais for a few hours then back. Had a croissant and a coffee and took some paperwork to do. Also went Prestwick Stansted and straight back on the same plane and same crew. Was back in my house by 9:30am
Thanks for the information about their extra charges! That's really very deceitful and shady to add an extra "administrative fee", when they can't really explain what it is for.
What an amazing trip report! I think Wizz really have opened up air travel to some of the most remote airports in Eastern Europe. I quick look at their route map, shows many destinations you my never have heard of and base fares less than Ryanair at times. It’s the added extras you need to watch out for. Everything extra is charged a fee. That’s how they make their money.✈️
I've never had an issue with WizzAir....great budget airline. Always clean, on time and love Airbus, so ticks all boxes for me. As long as people know budget means budget and you put up with excess charges etc if you do the wrong thing, then no problems.
@@SNORKYMEDIA I think you mean blatant 'disregard' not 'regard' or that would be taken to be a good thing! Being late, well that happens in the current environment and better than being cancelled. 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.
Bobskibrit I wouldn't feel comfortable flying on an airline that pays their pilots 17.000 Euros a year. Absolute shambles of a company that treats their employees like shit and firing staff for trying to form a union.
Subscribed Noel, been watching your travels now, for a week or 2. Being disabled & not getting out much, it’s refreshing to see great content, great countries, amazing people, well sometimes amazing people. & some amazing aircraft, aircraft in countries I haven’t seen for many years. Thanks for getting me out & about, even if it is watching your videos. Well a man a dream anyway, & to be with you on your journey, wherever that may take you
Great video on Wizz. I agree with you every time I’ve been with them it’s been a tidy clean on-time flight. I find them a lot more relaxing and better value overall than Ryanair.
@@cndam Yes, if your flight is late you can claim compensation as a passenger www.citizensadvice.org.uk/consumer/holiday-cancellations-and-compensation/if-your-flights-delayed-or-cancelled/
David Webb It’s a common thing in the industry, although not always to the extent WizzAir padded some of these times. While they may avoid fees or penalties, it also means they don’t get full utilization of their aircraft if they add an hour here, an hour there.
Greetings from Romania! When I was younger, I always went with my dad to that restaurant in OTP. There is a good view of the ramp and the two runways, I think that's the place where my love for aviation started. It's really sad to see that place nowadays (incredibly high prices and really bad food, airline and airport employees get 40% off though). Back then, it was an oasis for aviation lovers...
Having spent many nights on cold and dirty airport floors, I can tell that these type of videos are a great reminder to be thankful I have a bed to fall asleep in tonight 😅😴
Used to have a similar lifestyle as 'mystery inspector' for Wizz doing 3-4 flights/day, 2-4 days in a row... Tiring as hell but still the best year of my life..
Hi Noel I really enjoy your videos. I know that different places around the world have different attitudes towards COVID than Canadians do but I don’t understand putting yourself in harms way for a show. I have produced shows for over 30 years and trust me no spot is worth it. The show you did with your son was interesting and entertaining and no one was exposed. I know we Canadians are a by the rules bunch but sometimes it pays off. Best of luck
Wizz Air is cheaper because their staff is mainly from eastern europe / georgia. Flew from Kutaisi (Georgia) to Charleroi (Belgium) and all of their staff spoke fluently georgian and english
Low cost??? in CA or US? :))) funny! it's cheaper to fly legacy many times when compared to "low cost"! Real Low cost is in Europe and East and South-East Asia. That's all! There are a few other countries that have it (Chile, South Africa maybe and Turkey but that's about it)
Oh that month/date date/month thing got me a few times. It's not just security people, even some untrained airline people fall for it, too. The other thing is "travel back in time." I once had an airline check-in counter people told me I am crazy because I can't arrive one-day before the departure date, when going east bound from Asia... I had to get a supervisor to tell her she is wrong and she was like a deer caught in the headlight thinking "how do we travel backwards in time" and she works for the check-in desk! I think I literally watched her questioning her existence on this earth. I did the same to her and forced her to let the computer check me in because the computer will catch if I am not traveling on the right date.
I paid a round trip from Sofia to Barcelona for €19,98 all-in and can confirm that currently Wizz is indeed one of the cheapest, if not the cheapest airline in Europe. Have been flying the airline since 2004.
I would have liked you to spend a day in each of these cities and shown something about them. Challenge, have your wife book you mystery tickets and you have to find a place to stay, place to eat and site to see.
Then why are you watching and commenting here? There are hundreds of millions of billions of other videos on youtube, why are you spending your time commenting here? Every cell of my body wants to do the same as Noel if I'd have the time and opportunity to do the same.
@@danieltoth-nagy5097 In terms of passenger experience, flying is clearly the most boring form of transport ever invented. It's slightly more tolerable on the upmarket airlines. *Slightly*.
You could be really exhausted after this long journey with so many connections. Once I made a 3 days round trip with different airlines, includes Wizz Air too the following connections: Budapest-Napoli-Venice-Bari-Budapest. It was a really beautiful journey. ✈
The idea is simple, get from point A to B as fast as possible. I mean, it takes me 16-18 hours to drive back to my home country. For 18 Euros, how much I usually pay for the flight, I couldn't care less about how the experience is. All I know is I'm getting home in little over 2 hours.
We have to hand it to this guy, for the knowledge he is sharing this is one plane i don't think i would ever try and travel, I also just realised I'm hooked on this guy's videos! 😍
I was thinking what a pain it will be to have to take two Southwest air flights for 5 hours total to get from Pittsburgh to Denver in September, that is nothing compared to your endurance test Noel, amazing!
The fact that the aircraft was pushing back with passengers still stood up... I flew with Lufthansa back in December from Munich back to Manchester and the same thing happened. Not sure what the regulations are over there, but pretty sure it isn’t allowed..
I’m not sure whether to admire you or have you committed for this challenge, but there’s an equally mad part of me that wants to emulate this video. It’s been a blast to watch. All joking aside, thanks for your content. I love it.
Personally I find Ryanair a lilttle more comfortable but other than that they're pretty similar. Ryanair seem to be a little more transparent in terms of their added fees though.
I've enjoyed flying with Wizz Air twice before. I've also been through Eindoven once with Ryanair -- the place is the pits (passengers treated like cattle).
Noel, I love the videos but please refrain from taking your mask off! I know it’s your choice but we can hear you perfectly through your mask and it will keep you so much safer in confined spaces!
Bucharest is in the far east of Europe? No, sorry that's way off. Europe goes as far east as the Caspian Sea and the Ural mountains. That's 2000 km further east.
To the rich Western Europe. Europe stops at the eastern border of Germany. And that’s the right border. 😃 unfortunately all our EU money goes to ‘Eastern Europe’ 😤
Wizzair do have a non premium number with existing bookings, that 09 number is for new bookings etc. Hence why I don't get charged that rate. I'm a regular with the Luton Vilnius (Lithuania) route, love it every time 😄😄🇱🇹💛💚❤
Noel I love your videos so entertaining. It also gives me so much appreciation to be able to work and fly for my little regional airline here in Australia.
Was fixated by how the man's ginger mustache grew during 48 hrs. The unusual growth spurt upon leaving Milan evident at 12:44 make's one wonder if he really only spent a _few hours_ sleeping on the floor there?
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.
Haha I recently found your channel. Thank you so much for all this content! I love airplanes, airports and flying so much this really made my day looking at all your videos! I miss travelling so much...
Let’s take a moment to appreciate how much he spends and how much pain/hassle he puts himself through just for our entertainment the least we can do is sub
I think I've got jetlag just from watching your video, Noel. At least you got a hotel room in Poland -- I definitely would have needed one in Milan. Thanks for the video and the excellent coverage of Wizz.
@@drspastic Went cheap to states once, Birmingham via Amsterdam. We flew over Brum on the way back. Then 3 hour wait in Amsterdam just to get back to Brum. We all said, never again, just pay extra for direct home flight.
Thank you very much Noel, for taking my mind on a trip in the middle of this pandemic. I don't miss any videos on Sundays. I really admire your pleasure of flying. you do a good job with the videos. Greetings from Peru! I hope you can read me.
Great vid. I am a British Airways gold card holder but I am about to dump them and start using Wizz Air. BA have gone nuts... LCA-LHR £550 in economy / Wizz £90 - hard to justify staying with BA, which is essentially a no frills airline these days
Another great vid, Noel. The best part was the last couple of seconds when you were drinking a Bud in the hot tub! But I am curious as to why you didn't cover the inflight offerings of Wizzair.
Would have been good to see Budapest as it’s the main hub and First Nation of the airline but great vid I do love Wizz - it’s a great airline in my opinion it has to be said - top job
I've flown with wizzair multiple times and honestly never had any issues. There were no hidden costs, the crew was always pleasant. Yeah, the leg room isn't great, but that's fine, you get used to it.
Loved it! I only flew Wizz on one holiday (BUD-BCN-BUD) and they were absolutely wonderful. Mind u, I took the premium package with exit seat, 32kg check-in bag and priority boarding. 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! N I laughed right loud at the end, a bit like watchin myself after a long week. 🤣 Stay safe!
I love LCCs. For a few hours I don’t mind being uncomfortable as long as it gets me there! Would rather have more money to spend on activities/ spend longer there than a luxury seat! Flew 6 ryanair flights in January and I’d do double that in a heartbeat if it wasn’t for covid! Can’t wait to try Wizz one day!
48 hrs is a challenge on any airline but you did it. I've flown on Wizzair a couple of times and never had issues with them. The problem with Wizz, just like the rest of the low-cost airlines, is that it also attracts passengers who are more likely to cause problems. But that can happen on a KLM flight as well. Back in September, a couple of drunk Brits got involved in a fight over face masks on a KLM flight from Ibiza. I had no idea about the AdBlocker charge but those six flights didn't break the bank anyway. The meal in Bucharest Airport was a rip off Lol Safe flights!
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.
I subscribed, what an ordeal, some of these secondary airports absolutely suck. What kind of leg space was that on the final flight?? I hope you didn't pick up 6 different strains of COVID! And lesson learned: never fly into that airport on any day earlier than the 13th of the month or the ground staff may confuse their days for their months or vice versa.
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...

I wonder what those rent a cops in Lisbon do if an American carrier comes in. As far as Wizz Air goes, I wouldn’t fly them due to their hidden fees.
I’ve found the same with the hidden fees with wizz. Far worse than Ryanair etc believe it or not

bob bob I don’t want him getting covid, that’s all. his videos are great
He's taking the risk , not you
Jakub B I understand, but we want to keep him safe!
@@rhysvale9147 hes taking the risk, not you, you're not his guardian
Bucharest is in the far east of Europe? No, sorry that's way off. Europe goes as far east as the Caspian Sea and the Ural mountains. That's 2000 km further east.
To the rich Western Europe. Europe stops at the eastern border of Germany. And that’s the right border. 😃 unfortunately all our EU money goes to ‘Eastern Europe’ 😤
Oo I’m Andrew I know geography
@@tomster_cool Poland called. They want their WW2 reparations 😳😤😤😤😤
I always choose priority boarding, I can not stand the endless seat discussions. So I can sit and watch! Quite entertaining! 😂
Wizzair do have a non premium number with existing bookings, that 09 number is for new bookings etc. Hence why I don't get charged that rate. I'm a regular with the Luton Vilnius (Lithuania) route, love it every time 😄😄🇱🇹💛💚❤
Just flown to Krakow from Luton with Wizz, actually surprised I haven't been charged for inhaling the oxygen.
Your mad but love these vlogs just shows how easy and cheaply we can travel across Europe. Keep going Noel love these vlogs 👍👍
I hate heights, bad. So my stomach hurts two days before a flight. Noel is always calm, Kool, and collected. So jealous!
Noel you have brightened my day with this video! Thank you. Keep them coming. Great channel ! :-)
Noel I love your videos so entertaining. It also gives me so much appreciation to be able to work and fly for my little regional airline here in Australia.
Wizzair is really not bad at all, I fly them basically every year and month
Brilliant again Noel, always enjoy your travels, and the dramas that unfold, always have some great tips for the travellers
Was fixated by how the man's ginger mustache grew during 48 hrs. The unusual growth spurt upon leaving Milan evident at 12:44 make's one wonder if he really only spent a _few hours_ sleeping on the floor there?
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.
Haha I recently found your channel. Thank you so much for all this content! I love airplanes, airports and flying so much this really made my day looking at all your videos! I miss travelling so much...
When I see your video over 20mins I know it's gonna be a good one. Let's see
Of course it was. Loved it Noel
Yes it is awesome when it’s over 20 minutes long videos
Let’s take a moment to appreciate how much he spends and how much pain/hassle he puts himself through just for our entertainment the least we can do is sub
How much he spends = he’s sponsored most of the time!
Unless he’s flying in business class he just moans and has a face like a slapped arse
What's painful about flying in an airline that i fly in every year? Nothing.
I think I've got jetlag just from watching your video, Noel. At least you got a hotel room in Poland -- I definitely would have needed one in Milan.
Thanks for the video and the excellent coverage of Wizz.
Uk border control ---> from were did you arrive sir. Do you have 10 minutes😅
Uk border control --->sorry sir the white european quota is full today, please step aside and let mohummud past
@@drspastic Went cheap to states once, Birmingham via Amsterdam. We flew over Brum on the way back. Then 3 hour wait in Amsterdam just to get back to Brum. We all said, never again, just pay extra for direct home flight.
I flew Wizz to Prague in 2016, and aside from a screaming baby, and all in all, I'd love to fly with them again!
Thank you very much Noel, for taking my mind on a trip in the middle of this pandemic. I don't miss any videos on Sundays. I really admire your pleasure of flying. you do a good job with the videos. Greetings from Peru! I hope you can read me.
What pandemic.

Great vid. I am a British Airways gold card holder but I am about to dump them and start using Wizz Air. BA have gone nuts... LCA-LHR £550 in economy / Wizz £90 - hard to justify staying with BA, which is essentially a no frills airline these days
1:50 The original home of WizzAir
WHY?????
is talking to camera a valid reason for not wearing a mask?
I’ll get you banned from TH-cam for asking him the worst question of all time.
By no stretch of the imagination are you the most popular travel blogger..but you are definitely my favourite!!!!
I'm a simple man. I see a Noel Philips video. I click.
The body ache is from aging my friend. I know, I became a king of pain in my 50s and it just gets worse. Wishing you the best .
Starksey & Hutch???? More like Laurel & Hardy Lol!!!!:)
Another great vid, Noel. The best part was the last couple of seconds when you were drinking a Bud in the hot tub! But I am curious as to why you didn't cover the inflight offerings of Wizzair.
What is your plan B or C if one of the early flights is delayed?🤩
Would have been good to see Budapest as it’s the main hub and First Nation of the airline but great vid I do love Wizz - it’s a great airline in my opinion it has to be said - top job
I've flown with wizzair multiple times and honestly never had any issues. There were no hidden costs, the crew was always pleasant. Yeah, the leg room isn't great, but that's fine, you get used to it.
Just remember if the flight is overbooked and you have a ticket for this flight you will never get your money back
@@johnrasmussen4507 what do you mean?
They simply don't pay you back your money.
Loved it! I only flew Wizz on one holiday (BUD-BCN-BUD) and they were absolutely wonderful. Mind u, I took the premium package with exit seat, 32kg check-in bag and priority boarding. 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! N I laughed right loud at the end, a bit like watchin myself after a long week. 🤣 Stay safe!
I'm surprised to see deplaning from the right side of the plane!
Still de-planing left, just left rear exit. Using rear exits more at the moment because of Covid for boarding and getting off.
Thanks for all the hard work you do out there, the skydiving, your flight videos in the cabin and in the cockpit, great job, keep up the good work!
1:51 That's Budapest
I love LCCs. For a few hours I don’t mind being uncomfortable as long as it gets me there! Would rather have more money to spend on activities/ spend longer there than a luxury seat! Flew 6 ryanair flights in January and I’d do double that in a heartbeat if it wasn’t for covid! Can’t wait to try Wizz one day!
48 hrs is a challenge on any airline but you did it. I've flown on Wizzair a couple of times and never had issues with them. The problem with Wizz, just like the rest of the low-cost airlines, is that it also attracts passengers who are more likely to cause problems. But that can happen on a KLM flight as well. Back in September, a couple of drunk Brits got involved in a fight over face masks on a KLM flight from Ibiza. I had no idea about the AdBlocker charge but those six flights didn't break the bank anyway. The meal in Bucharest Airport was a rip off Lol Safe flights!
I don't know if I missed it, but you didn't seem to give your opinion of the flights...are Wizz Air any good to fly on?
Noted how little snow there was on and around Mont Blanc 😕
Scrolling thru the comments while watching and found yours right when he mentioned Mt. Blanc. Lol!
Global warming
Global warming. Very sad, but true.
Only just seen this. Well done for first of all completing this epic journey. And secondly. The Lisboa security. Omg
I’d love to watch an Aeroméxico flight report. Hello from Mexico 👋🏻
Nice, Katowice is where my family lives. Great to see you visited the airport.
Mid-rolls are an annoyance. Everyone clicks away, thus they don’t pay YT, and YT doesn’t pay you.
use Ad-block, but be mindful Noel may charge you $10 lol
Whats a mid roll?
@@lxdimension Adverts placed in middle of the video.
Everyone clicks away?.... No they don't... 😅
@@sponnydobber people like you are the reason you tubers are struggling, yet you want the content... Watch a few adverts to help support this guy...
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.
I never seen someone doing something like this....exept Noel Philips in the "Around the world in 80 hours"....Really mad experience, Noel! Thumbs up!
I subscribed, what an ordeal, some of these secondary airports absolutely suck. What kind of leg space was that on the final flight?? I hope you didn't pick up 6 different strains of COVID! And lesson learned: never fly into that airport on any day earlier than the 13th of the month or the ground staff may confuse their days for their months or vice versa.
I am lost here Noel. 'I just want to go home' .... who asked you to do this extended trip in the first instance?
You climb the mountain 🏔️ because it's there 🤣.
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...
Why are you not wearing your mask when speaking to the camera?? Please wear your mask except when eating or drinking!
@Ryan Stannards Crazy Life had it and survived you tosser!
That's a bit deep ryan jeez. No need to wish bad luck upon someone because they said something you don't agree with...
LoL you in your jacuzzi at the end is priceless 😂 great video 👍🏻
