The proposal of the airline Wizz Air, the "All you can fly" season ticket, ends up under the lens of the consumer association Assoutenti, which says it is ready to appeal to the Antitrust in order to ascertain the legitimacy of the airline's commercial practice. From the tariff that is not the same for everyone to the extra EUR 9.99 per route, these are the weak points highlighted by the president of the association, Gabriele Melluso.
The price disparities: 499 euro for some, 599 for others
.The apparently attractive 599 euro offer hides many elements of uncertainty, making it disproportionately unbalanced for the consumer. Not to mention the price differentiation, 499 euros for some, 599 for others, depending on the time of purchase.
The offer is not valid on domestic routes
.The association also emphasises the fact that the offer is not valid on domestic routes, thus preventing students and workers from taking advantage of it to return home during the Christmas or Easter holidays, when air fares skyrocket and discounts are needed on flights to the islands.
You can only book three days before departure
.The subscription then renews automatically, and allows customers to book only three days before departure.
An additional EUR 9.99 each way
.But the most serious thing, the association points out, is that in order to take advantage of the offer, it is necessary to pay an additional EUR 9.99 each way, and there is no possibility of buying a return trip together, with the risk of not finding useful flights for the return journey.
