Brits get one piece of hand luggage they can take into the cabin, measuring no more than 40cm x 30cm x 20cm, but will need to pay extra to check in a suitcase.

The airline also has their Wizz Flex fares which lets travellers cancel their flights up to three hours before departure without charge, and get 100 per cent of their costs back as airline credit.

It is the latest good news for travellers going through Gatwick Airport, who have reopened the South Terminal after nearly two years.

Wizz Air has shared some tips for passengers who are planning their next holiday and want to save some cash.

To save more money, a recent study found that Brits spend so much on food and booze before flying, that a lounge actually works out to be cheaper.
