Wizz Air now accepts American Express as a payment method, giving travelers greater flexibility when booking flights and making onboard purchases. The announcement marks a strategic move by the low-cost European airline to enhance convenience for both leisure and business passengers.

This integration is part of Wizz Air’s broader effort to improve the customer experience through its “Customer first compass” initiative. As the airline continues expanding its network—currently operating nearly 800 routes across Europe and beyond—it’s also focusing on digital innovation to simplify the booking and flying process for its more than 70 million annual passengers.

The addition of American Express as a payment option meets growing demand from travelers who prefer using Amex, especially business customers. With Amex’s strong global brand recognition and loyal cardholder base, this collaboration brings added value to both parties. Cardmembers can now use their American Express Cards to book flights or pay for extras like baggage and onboard meals through the Wizz Air website and mobile app.

The partnership also promises future benefits. Exclusive promotions and discounts for Wizz Air services will soon be available via the Amex Offers platform, giving American Express users additional incentives to fly with the airline.

From the perspective of American Express, the move strengthens its merchant network across the airline industry in Europe. With this latest addition, Amex is now accepted by all major European airlines, further cementing its position in the travel sector.

Founded in 2003, Wizz Air has built its reputation on offering ultra-low fares while rapidly expanding in both established and emerging markets. The airline has become a key player in the European aviation landscape and continues to find ways to adapt to the preferences of its increasingly diverse customer base.
