About this video

I'm flying Wizz Air's recently launched and longest-ever route: a challenging 7 hour flight from London Gatwick (LGW) ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง to Jeddah (JED) ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆ on their brand new A321XLR aircraft! With ticket prices starting from just ยฃ90, it's a fraction of what full-service airlines charge for this long-haul journey. But despite the price, can you truly survive (let alone enjoy!) 7 hours on an airline notorious for its no-frills, pay for everything approach? Or will the budget savings lead to pure regret? Having flown Wizz Air over 30 times, I'm putting their longest route to the ultimate test. I'll share all my best tips and tricks for making a long-haul budget flight as bearable as possible, including navigating their baggage fees, seat choices, and lack of in-flight entertainment or power. To definitively answer the "Is it worth it?" question, I flew the return journey from Jeddah back to London Gatwick on Saudia Airlines in economy. This video offers a direct, side-by-side comparison of the full budget experience versus a traditional full-service carrier on the exact same route. Join me to find out if Wizz Air's ultra-low fares are a travel hack or a test of endurance, and if the savings are truly worth the sacrifice!
