Step by Step

Measure your alto sax case precisely — the 20 cm depth is the critical dimension for Wizz Air.
Only attempt with a form-fitted compact case (e.g., BAM Hightech Slim).
If oversized, book checked baggage online.
Plan tenor sax as checked baggage from the start and pack in a hard case.

Practical Tips

The 20 cm depth limit is the dealbreaker at Wizz Air. Even slim alto sax cases are often 22–24 cm deep.
