Wizz Air Plans to Launch Business Class on Its Planes

Business in the Blue Coast.

The Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air is planning to introduce a new class on its planes, very different from what has characterized the company so far. The process marks the beginning of an experiment across several routes, including flights to Rome, London, Bucharest, and Budapest.

Low-Cost Business Class

"Wizz Class" will be a low-cost version of business class, separating passengers from the rest of the cabin on one or two rows (4-8 seats) and operating in a European Business configuration, with economy-class seats with a separated middle seat (B/E).

The company also plans to give Wizz Class passengers additional benefits, such as early boarding and disembarking, and possible access to lounges across Europe.

The company is also expected to serve food or provide vouchers to purchase food from the plane's menu, as part of the unique ticket.

As part of the same 14 billion euro "CUSTOMER FIRST COMPASS" transformation, the airline is also conducting tests to operate an Internet system on its planes, both for ordering products straight to passengers' seats, as seen with competitor Ryanair, and for browsing using messaging programs.

The new Internet system will be called "Wizz Play," and the service is expected to be introduced on the company's planes within a few months.
