Wizz Air
For Wizz Air flights, you must check in yourself before arriving at the airport.
Passengers who fail to do so may be fined and, in extreme cases, denied boarding.
Wizz Air check-in opens 24 hours before departure and closes 3 hours before departure.
You can complete the check-in on the airline’s website or mobile app.
Below we explain step by step how to do it.
How to check in for a Wizz Air flight? Step-by-step instructions
With Wizz Air airline, you must check in yourself – on the website or in the app.
- Go to the Wizz Air website or open the Wizz Air app.
- Select the "Find booking" option, enter the confirmation number (6-character flight booking number, found on your travel ticket) and the last name.
- If you have a Wizz Air account, log in and connect your booking to it. If you don’t have an account, you can create one and add your booking.
- Once you’re logged in, select the flight you want to check in for, fill in the necessary details, and confirm your check-in.
📌 Important! Remember that the same process must be repeated for your return flight!
Still need to add extra baggage, select a seat on the plane, or buy priority boarding? You can do this in your eSky account. Just log in, find your booking, then add any extrasand pay.

What information do I need for online check-in?
To check in online, you’ll need:
- Passenger’s last name – exactly as you entered it during the eSky booking;
- Confirmation code – the flight booking number (PNR), available in your eSky account, and the confirmation email.
The Flight booking number (PNR) is a unique identifier for your reservation with the airline. It’s usually a 6-character alphanumeric code, for example: 4YUK3R.
You can find more details in the article How to find your booking number, PNR, and other identification details?
📌 Important! The PNR is not the same as your eSky booking number!
The PNR number is issued by the airline and is required for check-in. Your eSky booking number is only used for contacting our support.
