Wizz Air Lands Big in Podgorica 2026: Montenegro’s About to Get a Whole Lot Busier

Hold onto your boarding passes, Montenegro — because Wizz Air just dropped some major travel news! Europe’s favorite purple-clad low-cost carrier is setting up its 36th base in Podgorica come March 2026, and let’s just say it’s bringing the party (and two shiny new Airbus A321neo aircraft) with it.

This isn’t just another airport update — it’s a full-blown aviation glow-up for Montenegro’s capital. With 14 brand-new routes ready for takeoff, Wizz Air is connecting Podgorica to more major European cities than ever before, adding over one million extra seats each year. Translation: way more options for spontaneous weekend getaways, business trips that sound suspiciously like vacations, and new excuses to “work remotely” from a beach café.

The Routes That Dreams Are Made Of

So, where can you jet off to from Podgorica’s soon-to-be-bustling tarmac? Wizz Air’s new destinations read like a European travel wish list:
Basel Mulhouse, Paris, Baden–Baden, Cologne, Hamburg, Rome, Maastricht, Barcelona, Ljubljana, Malmö, Gdansk, Poznan, Rzeszow, and Wroclaw.

From romantic strolls along the Seine to tapas marathons in Barcelona, this lineup is pure travel temptation. It’s the kind of list that makes even the most devoted homebody start checking their passport’s expiration date.

Podgorica’s Big Moment

Until now, Podgorica has often been the quiet achiever of Balkan capitals — charming, scenic, and just under the radar. But not anymore. With Wizz Air setting up shop, it’s officially leveling up from “that place you pass through on the way to the coast” to a full-fledged European aviation hub.

The addition of two brand-new Airbus A321neos (you know, the sleek, fuel-efficient ones that make even budget travel feel fancy) means more flights, more comfort, and more connections than ever before. These planes are set to become the pride of Montenegro’s skies — or at least the most Instagrammed.

Good News for Travelers (and Montenegro’s Economy)

For travelers, this expansion means one thing: more choice at lower prices. Whether you’re itching for a weekend in Rome, craving waffles in Belgium, or curious about where exactly Baden-Baden is (spoiler: it’s lovely), Wizz Air has your back — and your boarding pass.

But it’s not just jet-setters who are celebrating. This move is a huge win for Montenegro’s tourism and economy too. More routes mean more visitors, more jobs, and a serious boost to local businesses. Expect hotels to fill up, restaurants to get busier, and taxi drivers to develop new levels of small-talk expertise.

Wizz Air’s European Takeover Continues

Wizz Air’s expansion streak shows no signs of slowing down. The airline is continuing its quest to paint Europe purple, base by base, and Podgorica is its latest lucky landing spot. With a growing fleet of next-gen aircraft and a knack for making travel accessible (and dare we say, fun), Wizz Air is proving that low-cost doesn’t have to mean low excitement.

Ready for Takeoff

Come March 2026, Podgorica’s departure boards are going to look a whole lot more exciting — and travelers will have 14 new reasons to fall in love with flying. Whether you’re planning a romantic escape to Paris, a cultural deep dive in Rome, or just chasing sunshine in Barcelona, Wizz Air’s got you covered.

So pack your bags, polish your passport, and start practicing your “sorry, I’m out of office” face — because Montenegro’s skies are about to get very busy, very soon.

Wizz Air Goes Big in Poland with 10 new routes and 2 new Aircraft

Wizz Air is making serious moves in Poland—and we’re not just talking about cartwheels of joy over cheap flight deals. The budget-friendly airline is adding two shiny new Airbus A321neos to its Polish fleet—bringing the count to six aircraft in Kraków and seven in Katowice. And what do you do when you get new toys? You show them off, of course! Wizz is celebrating with a wave of new routes that will have Polish travelers jetting off to all corners of Europe faster than you can say “czy macie Wi-Fi na pokładzie?”

Let’s break it down.

New Flights from Kraków – From Pierogi to Pintxos

Starting between late October and December 2025, four new destinations will join the Kraków departure board. So, if you’ve been staring wistfully out your office window wishing you were anywhere else, this is your sign.

Bilbao (from Dec 9, Tue/Sat): Time to swap goulash for gourmet pintxos and wine so fancy it comes with its own glass swirl.
Verona (from Oct 28, Tue/Thu/Sat): Channel your inner Romeo or Juliet in the most romantic city that’s ever been mentioned in high school literature class.
Vilnius (from Oct 26, Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun): Baroque beauty, quirky street art, and the unofficial capital of Baltic cool? Yes, please.
Tallinn (from Oct 26, Tue/Thu/Sat/Sun): Medieval fairytale meets startup unicorns—and now, a direct flight from Kraków.

Kraków’s runway just got a lot busier, and we’re here for it.

Katowice Steps Up – Sun, Cities, and a Little Bit of Everything

Not to be outdone, Katowice is showing up with a whopping six new routes between October 2025 and March 2026. This city is quietly becoming a powerhouse of connectivity—and not just for coal conferences anymore.

Porto (from Oct 26, Wed/Sun): Port wine, tiled churches, and sunsets that make your Instagram melt.
Faro (from Mar 30, Mon/Fri): Algarve beaches and the kind of winter escape that makes your colleagues in puffer coats very jealous.
Brindisi (from Mar 29, Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun): Apulian charm and pizza by the sea? Say no more.
Lamezia Terme (from Mar 31, Tue/Thu/Sat): A lesser-known Italian gem, now just three cannoli away thanks to Wizz Air.
Brașov (from Mar 31, Tue/Thu/Sat): Dracula’s neck of the woods, now just a short flight from Katowice. Vampires not included.
Maastricht (from Mar 29, Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun): Where Dutch history meets hipster cafes and biking is basically a national sport.

From beach towns to medieval towns, Wizz Air clearly believes variety is the spice of life—and Polish travelers are the lucky beneficiaries.

The Bigger Picture – Polish Expansion on the Rise

This expansion is more than just new stamps in your passport. Wizz Air’s latest move supports the growing demand in Małopolska and Silesia, and it builds on the airline’s already impressive 9.3% growth in Polish operations during the first half of 2025.

And in case you’re wondering—yes, Wizz Air is still winning the aviation beauty contest with one of the youngest fleets in the sky. Their A321neo aircraft aren’t just sleek—they’re fuel-efficient, eco-friendly, and designed to keep your carbon footprint lighter than your carry-on.

Final Boarding Call

Whether you’re escaping the cold, chasing the sun, or just need a solid excuse to eat tapas in Spain “for business reasons,” Wizz Air’s new routes from Kraków and Katowice are the green light you’ve been waiting for.

So grab your suitcase, check your passport expiration date, and maybe practice saying “a glass of wine, please” in six different languages. Wizz Air’s got the planes. You just need to pick a seat.

Bon voyage—or as they say in Katowice, szerokiej drogi!
