Is food allowed on Wizz Air?

Hi Georgiana, you can travel with food in your carry-on bag as long as it is in solid form, packed securely and does not have an odour.



Yes, you are permitted to bring your own food and non-alcoholic beverages onto Wizz Air flights. In 2026, many budget-conscious travelers bring snacks purchased after the security checkpoint to avoid the higher prices of the "WIZZ Café" onboard menu. However, there are two major restrictions: you are not allowed to consume your own alcohol brought from home or duty-free, and you should avoid foods with strong odors (like fish or heavy spices) out of respect for fellow passengers in the tight cabin space. For parents, Wizz Air explicitly allows you to carry baby food and milk for the duration of the flight in your carry-on luggage, which is exempt from the standard liquid restrictions. Note that hot drinks purchased in the terminal must be in a container with a secure lid for safety during takeoff.

From a business standpoint, Wizz Air, like other low-cost carriers, has a model based on economies of scale. Rather than taking a large profit from each traveler, the airline takes a smaller profit while carrying more passengers. This is why you won't find a premium cabin on any of Wizz Air's all-economy planes.
