A European budget airline has relaunched its ‘All You Can Fly’ membership – which offers customers unlimited flights for an annual fee of €499.
Wizz Air announced on Tuesday that it is bringing back the highly-prized pass for a third time, having originally introduced it in 2024.
For the equivalent of around £439, travellers can fly as many times as they want throughout the year to 34 destinations across Europe and the Middle East.
However, actually getting your hands on a pass could prove a bit challenging – as only 10,000 will be up for grabs.
The deal also comes with some caveats: a booking fee for each flight costs €9.99 (£8.80), meaning passengers are still technically paying for each journey they take.
In addition, flights cannot be booked in advance. Subject to availability, all journeys must be booked within a 72-hour window.
According to Wizz Air, the average ‘All You Can Fly’ member flies nine times a year using their pass.
One traveller, who goes by @adventurewithells on TikTok, shared a candid review of her experience using the pass, which she has held since 2024.

In the video, she listed the benefits of the membership, revealing she was able to ‘spontaneously’ book a total of 28 flights to explore 14 countries – including locations with generally expensive routes, such as the Maldives, Saudi Arabia, and Dubai.
However, she warned that pass holders will find it difficult to co-ordinate with friends and family, and that there is ‘no guarantee certain routes will be available’.
The traveller further noted that she was required to fork out an extra £200 for an additional pass that allowed her to bring a 10kg cabin bag on board, as the pass restricts luggage to a small under-seat bag.
Travel experts have also weighed in on the deal, with Rory Boland, editor of Which? Travel, urging customers to look beyond the flashy wording to see if the offer truly appeals to them.
Speaking to the BBC in 2024, he explained that costs for things like luggage, booking, and choosing your seat can accumulate, turning a seemingly free flight into a standard paid one.
The Independent’s travel expert, Simon Calder, believes the scheme could benefit some passengers but not others.
He believes the subscription is designed for individuals who travel frequently between the UK and other countries, particularly those from Eastern Europe visiting family back home.
Calder concluded the subscription isn’t a good value for him, telling the BBC: ‘People will do their sums and I’ve done mine, it won’t really work for me.’

It comes as a cruise line is offering retirees a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live permanently at sea with the introduction of a ‘Golden Passport.’
Endless Horizons is a newly formed ‘residence-at-sea’ programme set up by Villa Vie Residences, granting guests ‘lifetime living’ on a fleet of all-inclusive cruise ships.
Starting at $99,999 (£75,000), guests who hold a Golden Passport will sail continuously on cruises to more than 400 destinations across 140 countries, with each sailing lasting from three to three-and-a-half years in length.
Most of the port visits will range from two to three days, giving guests ample time to explore each destination while the ship is docked.
