Wizz Air Announces Its Planes Will Go Cashless
Wizz Air has announced it will transition to a cashless payment system on flights.
Starting April 1, 2025, all onboard purchases will be processed exclusively through card payments, including contactless methods such as Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, Android Pay, and Google Pay.
Wizz Air is expanding its payment options by now accepting Revolut cards, in addition to VISA and Mastercard, both credit and debit.
This enhancement aims to provide passengers with greater convenience and a seamless travel experience.
With cashless payments, Wizz Air passengers will be able to easily make purchases without the need to carry cash, simplifying and speeding up the on-board service process.
This fast and convenient system ensures a hassle-free shopping experience, allowing travellers to enjoy their journey without the worry of dealing with change or last-minute currency exchange queues.
The shift to cashless transactions also enhances hygiene, as crew members no longer need to handle cash, contributing to a cleaner and safer travel environment.
The maximum combined amount allowed for onboard purchases per customer will be €150 ($163).
For transactions of €50 ($54) or more, a boarding pass will be required.
Michael Delehant, Senior Chief Commercial and Operations Officer at Wizz Air highlighted, 'Implementing cashless payments not only streamlines our operations but also allows our crew to focus more on delivering exceptional service rather than managing cash transactions.'

Wizz Air Abu Dhabi launches Beirut flights
Wizz Air Abu Dhabi, the ultra-low-fare national airline of the UAE, has launched its inaugural flight to Beirut. This milestone reinforces the airline's commitment to expanding its network across the Middle East and making travel more accessible, affordable and inclusive for everyone in the UAE. The new route operates three times per week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with one-way fares starting from just AED249. As the only ultra-low-cost carrier flying directly from Abu Dhabi to Lebanon, Wizz Air Abu Dhabi offers UAE residents, including the large Lebanese community, a convenient, cost effective and smart travel option. The route makes it easier for families to reunite, for tourists to explore Lebanon's rich culture, and for more people to fly often without compromise. The inaugural flight was celebrated at Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport with a media and stakeholder conference attended by government officials, airport executives, and senior representatives from Wizz Air Abu Dhabi. Speaking at the press conference in Beirut, Tamara Vallois, Head of Commercial at Wizz Air said: 'Today marks a historic occasion of Wizz Air Abu Dhabi's first landing in Lebanon. This new route opens up more opportunities for families, businesses, and tourists to travel affordably between two vibrant capitals, which is already underlined by the fact that our flights for the upcoming weeks are nearly all sold out. As the national airline of the UAE, we stay true to our broader mission of making the region more accessible with easy travel options that deliver both value and high quality. We stay committed to contributing to the Abu Dhabi ecosystem by boosting tourism and business links between the countries and our crew looks forward to seeing many happy customers on board soon for a well-deserved summer vacation visiting loved ones or discovering the many gems this incredible country has to offer.' Laura Lahoud, Minister of Tourism for Lebanon, added: 'The launch of direct flights between the UAE capital and Beirut by Wizz Air Abu Dhabi marks a significant milestone in our mission to revitalise Lebanon's tourism sector. This new route strengthens regional connectivity, fosters cultural exchange and aligns with our vision of making Lebanon more accessible to travellers. It will also be an important driver of travel demand and supports the creation of jobs and economic growth. We welcome this partnership and look forward to more visitors experiencing the beauty, rich history and renowned hospitality that Lebanon has to offer.' The beating heart of Lebanon, Beirut is a diverse blend of ancient history, culture, and energy, with Unesco World Heritage Sites, vibrant souks, buzzing nightlife and Mediterranean charm. The city offers a sensory feast for visitors with a plethora of unmissable activities and rich culinary traditions. Must-visit spots include the Raouché Rocks, the National Museum, and the historic Downtown district.
