Step by Step

How to book your Cello on Wizz Air

  1. Pack the cello in a sturdy flight case with maximum padding.
  2. Add checked baggage online during the booking process (cheaper than at the airport).
  3. Drop it off at the oversized baggage counter at the airport.
  4. Request a fragile sticker — though there is no guarantee of careful handling.

Practical Tips

Good to Know

Wizz Air is a poor choice for cello transport. Check alternative airlines with an extra seat option before entrusting your instrument to the baggage hold.
