I spoke with a guy who evacuated alongside me and his wife was still shopping in the terminal without any issues. Seems like only part of the terminal had the alarm, no idea what happened!
1 thing you forgot to mention is how much did it cost 1 overnight in Vienna? I think that should be factored in the price as well as the overall layover night that some people don't want to do.
Interesting, well-crafted video. Take a bonus-point for sparing us yet another Qatar/Emirates/Etihad front-of-cabin review, of which I've had my fill on UA-cam. This might be a good option if I could keep my luggage in-cabin for the entire trip. I rather like the Gatwick Clubrooms and have used them more than any other lounge at the airport.
Glad you enjoyed it! I usually only travel with a backpack especially with these flights where you have to collect and recheck hold luggage for every leg. Gatwick Clubrooms seemed nice but very small, I'll have to visit it again sans fire alarm.
A very enjoyable trip report and fantastic value for money, even if you include the seat reservation and lounge access. In fairness to Wizz, the comfort isn't the best but it is impressive that they offer three buy on board services. Worth noting that this is the longest Wizz flight in terms of the distance flown, but OTP-TFS is their longest flight in terms of timetabled sector at 6hours 10minutes.
thank you so much for this video!! I think I would survive this flight with an ipad, a packed lunch and a neck pillow haha :D
Місяць тому+1
Just 2 days ago I got back from Dubai/Abu Dhabi also with Wizz Air, but with their Wizz Air Abu Dhabi airline (U.A.E. registered aircraft). I flew from Sarajevo to Abu Dhabi and back. I paid for the seat 4A for both flights (not exit row) and both flights were completely full, so no empty middle seat to spread out. But it was completely fine, I actually didn't get up at all during both flights. And the first flight (from Sarajevo to Abu Dhabi) was on July 19th - the day almost all computers in the world were affected by the CrowdStrike problem, so we were delayed by more that 2 and a half hours. So I landed at 3am of the July 20th. And I stayed on that couch/sofa that you showed at the end of the video. Overall it was great flight(s), and considering I paid only 109 euros RETURN ticket it was awesome, and I paid just 18 euros for the front seat selection.
First time on your channel and have followed up a few other vids after this one. Love your reviews and all the productions! No faffing around and straight to the point. Well done you. Good luck and keep growing your channel!
Wow, I had absolutely no idea that Wizz were operating flights to Abu Dhabi. I flew with them from Glasgow across to Poland a few years ago, and I was really impressed with their pricing!
You know what? That’s really good value actually. I’ve always wanted to go there but the prices put me off. I’m very near to Luton, so it’s something I can consider. Haha looked like an indepth conversation with your fellow passenger. Great video thanks.
Found your channel a few weeks back when I was in bed nursing a hangover and I binged pretty much all of your videos haha. Great quality, look forward to more 👍🏻
I hadn't considered Wizz Air up until this point due to a couple of horror stories (and living in Northern England), I'd give them a go after watching your video!
I've flown Wizz 10+ times so far this year and haven't had any issues personally. But I also have friends who have had bad experiences... As long as the price is good, I'd say it's worth a roll of the dice!
Great video I will be looking into doing something similar, amazing price for this flight you saved hundreds and like you said you don't need onboard entertainment screen and a complentry meal when you can download your own and grab a bite to eat before plane/ go to the lounge and your still winning & saving. Keep up the good work 👍😊
Great flights today Yann... plus bonus fire alarm 😬 That lounge in Vienna did indeed look great. I have a very limited lounge experience, but the Star Alliance lounge in LAX has a great terrace as well, although this one seemed to have better views. And, prize for best colour-coordinated thumbnail goes to... FMY. 🙂
Just had a look - the terrace in the *A LAX lounge looks great! I've only ever visited the oneworld lounge at LAX. Not sure when I'll be in that part of the world next but I'll definitely remember this option.
I've done this via Athens, spent 2 nights in Athens then on to Abu Dhabi, which has the longest immigration queues ever, after a few days in AD, it was only an hours drive to Dubai. The Wizz air flights on A321 were on time, no problems. I would do it again
Was that before the opening of the new Terminal A? I've always had horrendous wait times in the old terminal but it's been very efficient every time at Terminal A.
@@FlyManYannI’m flying next February to KL from Gatwick with Qatar who also use the Clubs Lounge so I was excited to see what it looked like. Ah well such is life.
They fly from my country to Budapest and Abu Dhabi. But I avoid them like the plague, because they cancel flights left and right with no notice. Last month I had to go to Abu Dhabi for work, and Corporate got me a ticket to Dubai on Fly Dubai and then a chauffeured car to Abu Dhabi.
I think people should keep in mind that leg space is all relative to the length of the reviewer. Wizz Air's average 71-74cm is easy pickings for when you 175cm, but not when over 190cm. Mentioning plenty of leg space could put a lot of people on the wrong foot. I would never fly anything below 76cm and I would even avoid Turkish Airlines 79cm, because it has the remote pressing your knees. Great video nonetheless 👍
If you chose red eye flights, from vienna to abu dhabi if available you would've gotten the ticket cheaper and also you wouldnt have had to spend money on the night at the hotel in vienna
I did a similar trip going via Sarajevo in Bosnia instead. Just gotta leave enough time between flights to allow for any delays as self transfers are not protected.
Yep that's the problem, Wizz don't offer connecting flights unfortunately. I was overnighting so it worked out but shorter connections might be a bit risky.
Is Vienna the best stop for cheapest flight to Abu Dhabi from London? I also saw Bucharest and Budapest being cheap layover options. Also I think you can now go straight to Dubai airport!
Didn’t know of this routing. Excellent value for money, however do you have to overnight in Vienna? if so then the costs of accommodation, transfers meals etc need to factored in. As always a hugely enjoyable video.
Yep I did overnight in Vienna. I didn't include the costs since there's such a large range of options when it comes to hotels and everyone will have different budgets. Glad you enjoyed it!
Vienna lounge specifically has a supplement even for PP holders. There are a tiny number of lounges with a supplement, Vienna being one of them, but usually PP gets you in for free.
Your extra gulp of bubbly before responding to the fire alarm was epic. It made my day. As always, cool and understated. Well played.
I've got my priorities straight 🍾 ! Thank you and glad you enjoyed it.
The fire alarm is so unfortunate when nothing actually happened 😭

I always fly with them. Tallinn to Porto for under 100€, connecting in Milan. All the way across europe. What a great deal!
I didn't even know you could travel that far for under $100?! Great video as always, really liking these unique videos you've been making
Appreciate it man!

Glad you enjoyed it! 5+ hours on Wizz is definitely not the most comfortable but paying for a few extras will help with it
Nice to hear my girl Dame Judy Dench doing the fire alarm voiceover!

I like you video style, i watch a few travel ones. Keep it up. i look fwd to your next one.
Thank you! Got a few in the works...

knocking back that last bit of champagne in the lounge made me laugh! Would have done the same haha
Can't let it go to waste!
Great Trip Report!! Really enjoyed it. Good to know about Wizzair, iv come across them many times when looking up flights to Dubai/Abu Dhabi!
Glad you enjoyed it! They've also got plenty of cheap flights from Abu Dhabi to nearby countries in the region.
Found your channel a few weeks back when I was in bed nursing a hangover and I binged pretty much all of your videos haha. Great quality, look forward to more 👍🏻
I've got more videos in the works for your next hangover!
@@FlyManYann Great to hear 😅
Best thumbnail yet!
Your the best airline/ travel UA-camr. Keep it up!
Really appreciate it!

Better again you can fly Wizz air from Abu Dhabi to the Maldives for another $50! Did the full route all Wizz air last year 🔥
Great prices with Wizz out of AUH. I saw a flight to Muscat for under $20 last time I was there! Maldives for $50 is amazing value.
@@FlyManYann yea I did that route also! Muscat was super fun! One to do for sure! The wadis 😍

@@FlyManYann I can't remember, but it was only 6 months ago.
I only fly Wizz air .. amazing airline
It's become my favourite European LCC, I've flown them 10+ times this year and always had a good experience.
I wish Ryanair would fly from Dublin to Dubai
7+ hours on Ryanair... Now there's a challenge!
I like all your videos - cool and classy - but this one will definitely be of great use to me.
Thank you - glad you're enjoying them. And enjoy your trip to Abu Dhabi!

I love those blurry boarding passes, but I find they tend to not scan at the gate 🤣
You just need to squint a little bit!
WHEN U WERE TAKING OFF FROM GATWICK I SAW FIRE SMOKE FROM A DISTANCE GO TO 5:33
5 hours is not long haul, try living in ADL! 5 hours might just get us to DPS (if your lucky)
I like your ghetto luxury upgrades, such a unique angle. Sorry you got yeeted from the lounge!
Thank you!
Ryanair has more legroom at the emergency exit
I did a similar trip going via Sarajevo in Bosnia instead. Just gotta leave enough time between flights to allow for any delays as self transfers are not protected.
Yep that's the problem, Wizz don't offer connecting flights unfortunately. I was overnighting so it worked out but shorter connections might be a bit risky.
Milan to abu Dhabi with wizz air is the longest route they have
Is Vienna the best stop for cheapest flight to Abu Dhabi from London? I also saw Bucharest and Budapest being cheap layover options. Also I think you can now go straight to Dubai airport!
So you stopped in Vienna that's more than 100 !
Tried looking at return flights for Nov to Dubai but no luck finding sub £100 deals but costs over £400, not quite the budget price you got for yours!
do more of these low cost economy flights .I can't afford to go anyway but the cheapest
I've got a few more economy video concepts planned!
Wizz air also flies from dammam to rome for a flight time of 6 hours so I think thats the longest
The block time might be longer but the distance is slightly less at 2372mi vs 2637mi.
Didn’t know of this routing.

interesting video. but i highly suggest not to take the pretty expensive CAT (city airport train); use the cheaper local train S7 instead
12:55 you haven`t blurred the staff`s faces , 17:04 hardly any face is blurred; just wonder if this was on purpose or just missed it while editing?
I follow Josh Cahill and Noel Phillips gotta say really enjoyed coming across your channel new sub now let’s binge Keep it up 🇮🇪🤘🏴
Cheers!
Great video, but unlikely I’d find myself on this flight))) Thanks for covering it anyway!
Thanks for watching!
Well - you still had to stay in Vienna and pay for a hotel
No way, I prefer wide body for anything over 4 hours
It's definitely more comfortable.
Did the crew have to use the regular crew sests or where there able to use a regular seat
hi do you need thumbnail designer?
Buy Wizz stonks 🎉
📈📈📈
Hard disagree on breakfast, always the best meal in a BA lounge
😂😂😂😂 what’s the point to show the boarding pass of you blurred it 😂😂😂😂
unlucky on the fire alarm
The value was great, you pay with the inconvenience of connecting but if you've got the time, this is a great option. Thanks for watching!
His strut while walking is annoying and this isn’t exactly less than 100 dollars with hotel night stays
Hey Yann
Wizz air friend 😂
You have to pay to enter even with PP?
Vienna lounge specifically has a supplement even for PP holders. There are a tiny number of lounges with a supplement, Vienna being one of them, but usually PP gets you in for free.
i assume WizzAir seats don't recline?
Yep, no recline!
@@FlyManYann No UK budget airline seats recline.
Absolute bargain! well made review as well, though shame about the fire alarm.
Thank you!
Miserable and with having to get a hotel in Vienna or similar it's not $100 anymore either
Great video. But 2 questions: how old are you? And are you single?!?!
