Airline
Wizz Air
Policies verified March 2026
Wizz Air is a European ultra-low-cost carrier with some unusual family policies. The standout restriction: car seats must be rear-facing only, which is the opposite of most airlines that ban rear-facing. There are no bassinets, no entertainment, and no changing tables. The flat lap infant fee of about 32 EUR per segment keeps costs predictable. Families get priority boarding and check-in. Bring everything you need and keep expectations minimal.
