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.

Wizz Air goes cashless

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.”
