Step by Step
How to book your Violin on Wizz Air
- Measure your violin case precisely — maximum 55 cm in the longest dimension.
- If the case is too long, use a more compact case or check the violin.
- Gate staff may strictly enforce size limits — expect a check.
- Alternatively, book Wizz Air Priority fare for more generous carry-on rules.
Practical Tips
Good to Know
Some modern compact violin cases (e.g., Gewa Air) stay just under 55 cm. Measure carefully beforehand!
Frequently Asked Questions
- My violin case is 60 cm long. Will it be accepted?
- Probably not. Wizz Air often strictly checks carry-on dimensions and may refuse boarding with it.
- What happens if my violin case is rejected at the gate?
- It will be checked as hold baggage — possibly with a gate fee that is more expensive than booking online.
