Nervous about booking wizz air flight

My server says this site shouldn't be trusted when I go to make a payment for my booking. Has anyone else booked flights through wizz air online? could you tell me how your experience was and what your method of payment was to ease my worries? thank you.

Hi Ashley,

I booked with Wizz Air online using my credit card back in 2005 and had no problems. I usually hate using my credit card online, but they had a deal too good to pass up and things worked out well. But yes, that was 5 years ago and I don't blame you for being concerned; you don't want to have to worry about your credit cards while traveling.

As for your server saying the site shouldn't be trusted, I have McAfee Site Advisor and I just checked the Wizz Air site and it gave it a green checkmark. Maybe your site advisor just doesn't have enough data on Wizz Air and is giving a general warning? Or does it give a specific warning?

Good luck with this and with your trip:)

I booked Wizz Air tickets online in 2008, using my cc without any problems. Just a couple of suggestions:

  1. Buying the Extra Legroom Seat is worth it - dirt cheap and you avoid the mad scramble for unassigned seats.

  2. Make sure that you know exactly where your departure/destination airport is -- and buy Wizz's airport transfer service if you're not leaving/landing exactly where you need to be. i.e. Katowice - Krakow.

  3. Repeat of #2 - know where the airport is exactly: i.e. Milan Bergamo is NOT Milan -- it's Bergamo! Figure out ahead of time how to get to/from the airports Wizz uses.

That's more of an issue with your security settings than the site. Wizz Air is a fairly well known budget airline, you should be fine. If you're worried, use a credit card and monitor it for any fraudulent use...it's unlikely. Or try buying your tickets through a consolidator site...

FWIW, my browser refused to trust the UK Border Agency website at first when I filled my visa application. Sometimes you have to override your settings.

I had the same problem with my Firefox Browser and Vueling Airlines.

I'm not sure what causes it
