Wizz Air Comes Back to Warsaw with 11 Unbelievable New Routes

Wizz Air Comes Back to Warsaw with 11 Unbelievable New Routes

After 13 long years of “It’s complicated,” Wizz Air and Warsaw-Modlin Airport are officially back together—and things are looking spicy. The airline is returning not with a subtle wave, but with a full-blown European reunion tour: 11 new routes, two brand-new Airbus A321neo aircraft, and a whole lot of bold magenta making a comeback on the tarmac.

Plot Twist: They’re Serious This Time

The relaunch kicks off December 1, 2025. Wizz isn’t dipping its toes in—it’s cannonballing into the Polish market with three inaugural flights to Athens, Barcelona, and Bergen. Yes, that’s Greece, Spain, and Norway in one day. If this isn’t Wizz flexing, we don’t know what is.

Just when your December looked chill and low-key, here comes December 2: Wizz adds Bergamo, Chisinau, and Paphos to the list. By mid-month (December 15–16), things really snowball with Malta, Sofia, Brindisi, and Palermo added to the rotation. And because spring is no time to get boring, Alghero (on the sunny Sardinian coast) joins the lineup on March 31, 2026. Your 2025/26 calendar just got busier than your inbox on a Monday morning.

Flights So Frequent, You’ll Accidentally Become a Jetsetter

If you’re wondering how often these flights will run, the answer is: often enough to justify booking a dozen long weekends without even checking your PTO balance. Most routes will fly three to five times a week—perfect for quick getaways, extended “workations,” or just avoiding your neighbour who’s decided to start DIY home renovations.

Some standout services: Bergamo gets a daily flight (because carbs wait for no one), and Malta will see six flights a week, aka just one shy of a daily sun-and-vino shuttle. Your inner travel junkie is already twitching.

Modlin: Because Convenience > Mystery Adventures

Why Modlin, you ask? Well, because it’s actually near Warsaw. Unlike another Polish airport we won’t name (starts with R, rhymes with “random”), Modlin doesn’t require a survival kit and a 90-minute bus ride. It’s a no-brainer for a comeback.

Wizz is aiming for a nearly 20% increase in Polish capacity for 2025, cementing its place as the country’s second most popular airline—right behind Ryanair and light years ahead of “that one you flew once and still haven’t emotionally recovered from.”

Modlin’s Not Just a Rebound

It’s not just Wizz who’s swiping right on Modlin again. Ryanair’s already made a grand entrance with 25 new routes and a not-so-subtle plan to hit 5 million passengers annually by 2030. Air Arabia is jumping into the action too, launching flights from Sharjah in December.

Basically, Modlin is no longer the quiet cousin in the corner—it’s turning into the life of the low-cost party. And Wizz Air? It brought balloons, snacks, and half of Southern Europe along for the ride.

Let’s Recap This Jet-Packed Comeback

Here’s your cheat sheet of where Wizz is flying from Warsaw-Modlin:

Starting December 1, 2025:

  • Athens (Greek drama and gyros)
  • Barcelona (art, tapas, and beach naps)
  • Bergen (for when you want fjords with your winter)

From December 2, 2025:

  • Bergamo (Lombardy, but make it pasta)
  • Chisinau (hello, Moldova)
  • Paphos (because winter sun > winter jackets)

December 15–16, 2025:

  • Malta (sunshine and smug Instagram stories)
  • Sofia (cheap, cheerful, and full of surprises)
  • Brindisi (Apulia’s best-kept secret)
  • Palermo (more cannoli than you can handle)

March 31, 2026:

  • Alghero (springtime Sardinia? Yes please)

So dust off your passport and prepare your tastebuds: Wizz Air is back, Modlin is booming, and winter travel just got a whole lot brighter (and cheaper).

October 05, 2022 –

The Italian Capital of Culture initiative launched in 2014 promotes the appreciation of Italian cultural heritage with projects and activities. For first time, two cities have come together as the Italian Capital of Culture in acknowledgement of the cultural vibrancy that emerged during the pandemic.

Capital of culture 2023

This extraordinary project is supported by leading Italian companies – Intesa Sanpaolo and A2A as Main Partners, Brembo as System Partner – and institutional partners such as the Italian Culture Ministry and the Fondazione Cariplo.
Changing a territory through culture. The Bergamo and Brescia initiative will kick off a wide-ranging project to tackle contemporary challenges focused on culture, sustainability, enhancement of the artist heritage, welfare and innovation. Italian Capital of Culture 2023 has a packed programme of 100 major projects and another 500 initiatives, the work of many organisations through a network of joint planning.

It begins with a magnificent inaugural ceremony on the 21st and 22nd of January, 2023 and continues all year with events linked to music, theatre, art and much more. The Festival of Lights will get the ball rolling: Brescia (10-19 February) and Bergamo (17-26 February) will become open-air art galleries, featuring prestigious national and international artists.

The campaign to draw in an international public will unveil an unexpected face of Italy, breaking out of the “information bubble”: Bergamo and Brescia are less well-known destinations than the main Italian cities popular with foreign visitors but art, centuries-old tradition, innovation, majestic natural landscapes, historical monuments, food, wine and much more can all be found there.

“Bergamo and Brescia Italian Capital of Culture 2023,” said Bergamo’s Mayor, Giorgio Gori, “is a joint approach to the challenge our two cities wanted to tackle at a historic time of great change. Culture, as well as being an essential lever for attracting tourism, is vital for the improvement of the life of our communities.”

Brescia’s Mayor, Emilio Del Bono, commented: “As Italian Capital of Culture 2023, Bergamo and Brescia are renewing their production system and cultural offer at all levels, cooperating with associations and businesses, preserving and augmenting the heritage, attracting tourists and creating new opportunities for development and training.”
