Wizz airlines all you can fly!

by Wizz - AYCF!

This is the latest pass I purchased for USD 550 and my favorite by a long shot. Wizz is a discount airline based in Budapest, Hungary that flies to 52 different countries within Europe, UK, Ireland, Iceland, and the Middle East including the Maldives. The obvious hitch here is that you need to get to one of those countries to start using the pass which can be difficult depending on the time of year. I have only used the pass a handful of times for that reason, but it has easily paid itself off with one of the five flights I have already taken. I was able to find a flight from Los Angeles to London Gatwick for $109 on Norse Airlines (click link) which within itself is amazing! I was also able to fly home using a buddy pass which was amazing too!

I am headed back to Europe to use the pass again in March 2024 for 42 days. Keep an eye out for updates as my bucket list for that trip is plentiful and will include the Euro pass train ticket (click link) I bought too.

Below is a summary and link from the Wizz website (click link):

Wizz Air offers an “all you can fly” pass for an annual fee of $55012. This pass provides unlimited one-way and round-trip flights to any of Wizz Air’s international destinations, including routes throughout Europe, parts of North Africa, the Middle East, and the Maldives1. Passengers can book flights 72 hours before departure, choosing from available routes at the time3.

Here are the places I have been on the Wizz AYCF pass including two I had to cancel due to illness:

London

Varna, Bulgaria

Budapest, Hungary

Vienna, Austria

Volaris all you can fly (AYCF) annual pass

by Volaris - AYCF!

The Volaris Pass is my favorite because, well, it’s Mexico and who doesn’t love Mexico? This is the second AYCF pass (Frontier, Volaris, and Wizz) that I purchased. I am guessing that I was one of the first to buy the pass as I waited until one minute after midnight on the first day it went on sale to take advantage of the half-price promotion. I paid 3999 pesos which is approximately $200 today. The regular price is now listed in American dollars for $499. The best part is that the renewal gets me the promotional price.

GoWild! The Frontier all you can fly pass!!

by Frontier - AYCF!

This is the first all-you-can-fly (AYCF) pass I bought back in 2023 and paid USD 499. I was working four days a week including weekends which was perfect as there we a lot more empty seats during the week for me.

Frontier did not know what they were getting in to, so they started the price very high. The ran early bird specials at lower prices and gradually raised the price will all passes renewing at $2000. They then started selling Summer and Winter passes for cheaper and eventually dropped the price to $299

Below is a summary and more can be found in this link: GoWild! All You Can Fly Pass™ | Frontier Airlines

The Frontier GoWild! Pass is an annual pass offered by Frontier Airlines. It costs $599 for the first year and is valid for travel between May 1, 2024, and April 30, 2025. There is also a Summer GoWild! Pass priced at $499 for travel between May 1, 2024, and Sept. 30, 2024, and a limited-time offer for the Fall & Winter GoWild! Pass at $299 per year1. The pass provides unlimited flights, but booking for domestic flights is only available the day prior (10 days prior for international flights). Passholders are still responsible for taxes, fees, and add-ons

This is the least favorite of the three AYCF passes (Frontier, Volaris and Wizz) simply because it does not offer the best destinations. I plan to keep renewing it at $299 as it helps me get to around the United States perfectly and I have had decent luck finding open seats when needed.

Below are the destinations that I have visited with the pass so far:

Los Angeles three times

Baltimore

Las Vegas twice

San Diego twice

Dominican Republic

Virgin Islands

Denver
