Wizz Air has made several changes to its Wizz Discount Club (WDC) paid-for loyalty programme.

Currently, the airline offers three tiers of membership. ‘Light’, which is free to join, plus ‘Standard’ and ‘Premium’.

The changes, which take immediate effect, include several new perks, albeit with a higher cost bar for travellers to take advantage of the scheme.

Benefits for passengers now include priority customer service for passengers who want to make changes to their reservations, ticket promotions only available to club members and offers specific to the customer, such as a discount on their birthday.

Both paid-for tiers continue to include a discount for checked baggage, which is likely to be the largest draw for regular flyers.

However, some customers will have to pay more to enrol in the scheme. The Standard tier has increased by €20 to €59.99 per annum while the Premium tier remains at €349.99. The threshold for receiving a €10 discount on flights booked with paid-for membership has gone up from €19.99 to €29.99.

Olivia Harangozo, Corporate Communications Manager at Wizz Air, commented: “What we’re announcing is more than an update to our WDC membership. By integrating features like personalised offers, service prioritisation, and dedicated promotions, we’re moving closer to a model where loyalty means tailored experiences and added care throughout the customer journey”.
