- Wizz Air is inviting passengers to "pre-select" themselves as volunteers to be offloaded from overbooked Flights.
- Passengers who volunteer and are selected at the airport will receive a €100 (£85) voucher in Wizz credits for future travel.
- This scheme allows Wizz Air to manage Flights where more tickets are sold than seats available, anticipating typical passenger "no-shows."
- The compensation offered to volunteers is considerably less than the £220 to £520 airlines are legally required to pay for involuntarily denied boarding.
- Volunteers must still attend their original flight, and there is no guarantee of an immediate or convenient later flight, with rebooking dependent on capacity.
