Question 1

What is the WIZZ AIR* charge on my bank statement?

Accepted Answer

The WIZZ AIR* charge on your bank statement is a legitimate payment to Wizz Air, a European budget airline. It typically corresponds to a flight ticket purchase, an add-on such as baggage or seat selection, or an administrative fee related to your booking. The amount varies depending on what you purchased.

Question 2

I don't remember booking a Wizz Air flight — should I be worried about this charge?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Wizz Air charges can appear for reasons beyond just the initial ticket, such as a Wizz Discount Club membership renewal, a booking modification fee, or a priority boarding add-on. Check your email for any confirmation from Wizz Air matching the charge date and amount. If you still don't recognise it after checking, contact Wizz Air directly through their help centre at wizzair.com.

Question 3

How do I cancel my Wizz Air booking to get a refund for this charge?

Accepted Answer

To cancel your Wizz Air flight and request a refund, visit wizzair.com/en-gb/help-centre/booking-modification/cancel-flight/cancel-your-flight. You will need your booking reference and the email address used when booking. Keep in mind that Wizz Air's refund policy depends on your fare type and how far in advance you cancel, so refund eligibility varies.

Question 4

Why does the charge show as WIZZ AIR* instead of just Wizz Air?

Accepted Answer

The asterisk in WIZZ AIR* is simply how Wizz Air's payment descriptor appears on bank and card statements when processed through their payment system. This is a standard formatting difference and does not indicate anything unusual. It is a fully legitimate charge from Wizz Air for a flight ticket or related travel fee.
