Wizz Air makes a big push into Turkey from London

We don’t cover Wizz Air much on HfP, although we do have the infamous trip review from Rhys last year on his £1.79 all-in ticket. He survived the experience unscathed and with minimal damage to his wallet.

The airline has just launched a big push into Turkey which warrants a mention.

You will soon see:

• Antalya from London Gatwick – 4x weekly from 26th March
• Dalaman from London Gatwick – 4x weekly from 23rd May
• Istanbul from London Gatwick – daily from 28th March
• Istanbul from London Luton – daily from 28th March

Istanbul is not currently served from Luton, so this is a new route for the airport. Wizz will face competition on the Gatwick routes.

As well as the London routes above, Wizz is also launching flights into Turkey from other European bases, especially Budapest, as well as Abu Dhabi.

Fares start at £31 one way.
