Wizz Air, Europe’s greenest airline, plans to make all onboard purchases cashless from April 1st. Payments will be made exclusively by card, with options such as Apple Pay and Revolut. This initiative increases comfort and hygiene for passengers and crew.
Cashless: Introduction of the cashless payment system
Wizz Air, known for its sustainable flight solutions, has announced that it will introduce a cashless payment system on board its aircraft from April 1. All purchases will now be made by card only, including contactless options such as Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, Android Pay and Google Pay. This measure is intended to increase convenience for passengers and simplify the payment process.
Advanced payment options with Revolut
In addition to the VISA and Mastercard payments already accepted, Wizz Air will also accept Revolut cards. Thanks to a partnership with Revolut, new users can receive up to 25 euros after spending their first five euros with Revolut. In addition, customers who pay with Revolut Pay can collect loyalty points and redeem them for future purchases. Until April 4, 2025, customers who pay for Wizz Air flights with Revolut Pay will receive ten times more loyalty points.
Advantages of a cashless transaction
The cashless payment system offers the advantage that passengers do not have to carry large amounts of cash with them. This not only increases convenience, but also the speed and efficiency of the service on board. Furthermore, cashless processing contributes to improved hygiene, as the crew no longer has to handle cash.
Transaction security measures
To provide passengers with the greatest possible security, the Wizz Air mobile app allows the purchase of a prepaid voucher. Using this system requires a boarding pass for transactions of 50 euros or more, and the maximum purchase amount allowed is 150 euros per customer. These measures are designed to prevent abuse and make the process safer for everyone involved.
Wizz Air, founded in 2004, has since transported over 50 million passengers to and from Germany and currently operates 94 routes in 15 countries from eleven German airports. The airline is committed to environmentally friendly travel options and is constantly integrating innovative solutions for improved passenger experiences.
