Wizz Air
For Wizz Air flights, you must check in yourself before arriving at the airport.
Passengers who fail to do so may be fined and, in extreme cases, denied boarding.
Wizz Air check-in opens 24 hours before departure and closes 3 hours before departure.
You can complete the check-in on the airline’s website or mobile app.
Below we explain step by step how to do it.
How to check in for your Wizz Air flight – step-by-step guide
- Go to the Wizz Air website.
- Select the “Log In” tab, then:
- If you have a Wizz Air account registered with the same email address that you used to book your ticket on eSky, please log in.
- If you don’t have a Wizz Air account, or it's registered with a different email address than the one used on eSky, please create a new account.
- After logging in, Wizz Air will ask you to enter your confirmation code (i.e. flight booking number) and passenger’s last name. You’ll find the flight booking number in your e-ticket.
- Once you access your reservation details, select Online Check-in.
- Follow the instructions and enter the required details to receive your boarding passes.
📌 Important! Remember to repeat the same process for your return flight!
Via your Wizz Air account, you can also manage your booking: add baggage, choose a seat, purchase priority boarding, or make changes (e.g., change flight dates or route).
What information do I need for online check-in?
To check in online, you’ll need:
- Passenger’s last name – exactly as you entered it during the eSky booking;
- Confirmation code – the flight booking number (PNR), available in your eSky account, and the confirmation email.
The Flight booking number (PNR) is a unique identifier for your reservation with the airline. It’s usually a 6-character alphanumeric code, for example: 4YUK3R.
You can find more details in the article How to find your booking number, PNR, and other identification details?
📌 Important! The PNR is not the same as your eSky booking number!
The PNR number is issued by the airline and is required for check-in. Your eSky booking number is only used for contacting our support.

If you fail to check in and don’t receive a boarding pass, your reservation will be cancelled, and Wizz Air staff will not let you board.
