Wizz Air offers customers unlimited flights for a year for 499 euros ($550).
One big caveat with the unlimited pass is that you can only book flights up to three days in advance.
You'll also have to pay a 10 euro ($11) fee every time you book a flight.
Wizz Air, one of Europe's largest ultra-low-cost airlines, is offering the chance to buy unlimited flights for a year for 499 euros ($550).
The Budapest-based airline has launched its “All You Can Fly” membership, with a sign-up offer that's 100 euros ($110) cheaper than usual, until Friday.
Wizz Air was named Britain's most delayed airline for the third year in a row in June, according to a PA news agency analysis, and its shares have fallen 34% in the past six months.
However, there are some caveats to the Unlimited Flight Pass.
Wizz notes in small print that a flat fee of 9.99 euros ($11) is charged separately for each flight segment.
Passengers will also have to pay extra for any luggage that exceeds the basic personal items allowance, and tickets can only be purchased within 72 hours of the flight and are subject to availability.
Wizz seems to acknowledge that this last point may make it difficult for pass holders to book return flights, mentioning this in its FAQ section, stating that pass holders can instead “book a flight using the normal booking process.”
Wizz offers an extensive network, operating 924 routes as of its latest annual report in May, including destinations such as Dubai and Uzbekistan that are not served by budget carriers Ryanair and easyJet.
A three-day one-way flight from London to Budapest starts from around €81 ($90). With extra fees for each flight leg, it would take seven trips to break even. However, one-way flights on this route can cost as little as €29 ($32) if you book a few months in advance, so it would take 27 trips to break even.
While the deal may be attractive to frequent fliers, a demographic that low-cost airlines typically ignore, its appeal to regular travelers is less clear.
