Wizz Air has launched its New Year’s Sale, marking the airline’s largest promotion at the start of 2026. The offer covers up to five million seats across the carrier’s network, with discounts reaching up to 26 per cent. The sale applies to a wide range of routes and travel dates, giving passengers early access to reduced fares while planning trips for the year ahead.

The airline confirmed that the promotion spans its full route map, including short-haul city connections and longer leisure services across Europe and beyond. Wizz Air describes the sale as time-limited, with availability expected to change quickly as discounted seats are booked. The offer is positioned as part of the airline’s broader push to stimulate early demand for 2026 travel.

According to Wizz Air, the New Year’s Sale is intended to encourage passengers to plan trips earlier than usual, securing lower fares while schedules remain flexible. The airline’s senior communications team highlighted that this promotion is larger than in previous years, both in terms of seat volume and route coverage. Demand is expected to be strongest on established leisure and city-break markets.

What the New Year’s Sale includes

  • Discounts of up to 26 per cent on selected fares
  • Around five million seats across the Wizz Air network
  • Availability across multiple routes and travel periods
  • Limited-time booking window, subject to seat availability
This year, when it comes to our New Year’s Sale, we’ve gone even bigger. We’re celebrating the start of 2026 by giving our customers access to our most exciting offers of the year, encouraging them to explore more, spend less, and kick off the new year with unforgettable experiences.
Daniela Bergmane, Senior Strategic Communications Manager at Wizz Air

With lower fares appearing early in the year, trips linked to short breaks, visiting friends and family, or seasonal getaways become simpler to organise. Cheaper tickets can also encourage travel outside the busiest periods, making quieter city visits or more flexible holiday dates a realistic option. On certain routes, reduced prices may shift attention towards secondary airports and regional destinations that are usually overlooked but work well for cost-focused travel plans.
