Does Wizz Air have a passport check for non-EU citizens on Schengen flights?

I've flown on Wizz Air from Schengen to UK and remember there was a mandatory passport check for non-EU citizens, which had to be done at the check-in desk.

Is there also a mandatory passport check on Schengen and internal flights?

The question is important for planning tight connections on two bookings.

(See the related Ryanair question Flying with Ryanair as a non-EU citizen for what these kinds of passport checks look like.)

Best Answer

From my recent experience flying as a non-EU citizen with WizzAir from and to Schengen Area, documents check is required only when entering the Schengen Area. When flying outwards, I made a couple attempts and each time was told that no check needs to be done.

Do you need a visa to board a plane?

It's quite normal to book a flight before getting a visa. In fact (as I had to last week) you may have to produce the flight booking in order to secure the visa! As the accepted answer indicates if you don't have a visa (and you do require some kind of visa to land) they'll generally prevent you from boarding.
