During September 2024, I purchased a year long an all-you-can-fly pass with Wizz Air for USD/Euro $499 (they were basically at par).
It was a leap of faith since I had to get to Europe to use the pass. So far, so good, as I have made it to Europe twice already for a reasonable cost on Norse Airlines. I have paid anywhere from $109 to $250 each way from Los Angeles.
I do not plan to renew the pass, but I am planning one more trip before the pass expires at the end of September, as there are so many Countries left to explore. I have gotten great value from the pass, using it 15 times (~$33 a flight) on the first two trips to Europe to use the pass.
That works out to about 30 dollars a flight, which is incredible in itself. The part I enjoy the most is the spontaneity of using the pass. I log in to the website, and I can choose from 52 different countries based on availability. There is a three-day window for bookings, so it can be the same day or within three days when you leave your departure.
Here is a list of the Countries available for booking:
Since I will be traveling during the Summer, I hope to visit some Northern countries. Here is my wish list keeping in mind that it is standby so I will not be able to reach them all.
– Norway (Wizz flies to ten cities).
– Sweden (Wizz flies to three cities).
– Poland (Wizz flies to ten cities)
– God willing, Ukraine, if the war is over. (Wizz flies to Kraków, which is a short bus ride to Lviv).
– Portugal (Wizz flies to four different cities).
– Spain (I have been to Madrid and Barcelona already, and Wizz flies to fourteen different cities in Spain).
– Germany (Wizz flies to eight cities).
– Czechoslovakia (Prague only – I hear the Czecks make the best beer in Europe!)
– Saudi Arabia (I have been to Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the Middle East. I would love to go back to the UAE too!).
Other countries will be substituted in trying to get to these, which will be incredible too!
First things first; I had to find a cheap return flight to Europe in August or September as the pass expires on September 25th. So far, Los Angeles to London (showing below on Google/travel, my go-to) is the cheapest, $475 return. I am also watching Los Angeles to Paris and Las Vegas to Paris as they are all around the same prices right now.
I can also choose to book one-way trips, keeping my options open, which may also be cheaper too!
EDIT: I ultimately found an amazing round trip flight for $402 USD for the month of September 2025.
