Did you say Farsang? Yes. While

a period of time between January and
Ash Wednesday – which in 2018 is on
14 February – when Lent begins.
So what does it involve? Farsang is
all about chasing away winter’s evil
spirits, eating rich foods and taking
part in celebrations, including costume

Hungarian traditions.

repurposed lamps. Whether it’s using
shuttles from the textile industry
of the former G.D.R. or bugle horns
salvaged from Ford Model T cars from
the 1920s, Andrei transforms vintage
items into lamps, and in doing so is
raising the bar of Romanian design.
The idea first struck in 2011, while
Andrei was studying for a master’s
degree at George Enescu University
in Iasi. A competition launched
by Red Bull, entitled ‘Art of Can’,
challenged students to turn a used
can into something beautiful, and
Andrei’s creation – a reimagining of
Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam – was
voted one of the best. Encouraged,
he began thinking about what else he
could make by recycling old objects,

international design fairs such as
London’s Clerkenwell Design Week. But
it is hunting for materials to repurpose
into lamps, he says, that gives him
most satisfaction. “I go to a lot of flea
markets – even when I’ve been out the
night before, or when I’m on holiday,”
he proudly admits. Some of his
favourite pieces come from his travels,
including to London’s Portobello Road
or Madrid’s El Rastro. “The Grande
Braderie de Lille is fantastic too,” he
adds. “Western European flea markets
are as much about socialising as they
are selling. It’s amazing being part of a
community of like-minded people.”
That sense of community is
something that Andrei craved so much
that he has helped establish Hubrica,
the first creative hub of its kind in
Iasi. “It all began in May 2016, during
the European Night of the Museums,”
he says. “I visited Iasi’s former
Moldomobila furniture factory, and fell
in love with the space.” Together with
Hubrica’s cofounders, Alexandru Paicu
and Bogdan Curelariu, Andrei decided
the space would be the perfect place for
creatives to work and collaborate in.

Unlike other computer-based

Vladimir Gabulov. Arsenal Tula’s
captain and the Russian national team’s
goalkeeper knows what it’s like to be a
small-town football fan, because he was
one. Growing up in Mozdok, Ossetia,
Gabulov was “born kicking a ball”, as
he puts it. It was a family matter after
all – Gabulov’s brother, Georgy, has also
gone on to play professionally.
“My brother and I were always
running around with a ball. Our father
and grandfather both loved the game,
too, so I’d spend most days
playing in the streets and then
go and watch real matches
tches with
the grown-ups.”
By age seven, recognising

his passion, Gabulov’ss
father enrolled him
at a sports school. At
16 he was invited to
join his hometown’s
professional team.
“That’s when I

realised I was going to devote my life
to football,” he recalls.
He picked his preferred position
quickly. “I wasn’t a big fan of running
– we had to do too many jogging
training exercises – so I decided to
become a goalkeeper. Then, for a
while I decided that I wanted to score
goals, too, and started to play in
attack, but I wasn’t making it to team
selection and so played less.” Then a
fateful moment occurred. The team’s
main goalkeeper got injured and
Gabulov had to replace him during
a game. “That’s when I realised I
belonged in goal.” What does he think

“I have no

Cup yet”
Last year, Gabulov signed a deal with
Arsenal Tula, becoming both the club’s
goalkeeper and team captain. While
winning has always been on his mind,
he says he didn’t grow up dreaming
of becoming a captain. “I never
seriously thought about that, but it’s
an honour to be entrusted with
the responsibility. Now, I don’t just
focus on my own game – I have to
consider the whole team.”
Playing for your club is one thing,
but joining your country’s team is
on another level. Gabulov says that
there’s hardly any adjusting period
between the national team’s players,
who leave any club rivalries at the door.
“We’re all familiar with each other, so
it’s a very peaceful process. We’re all
professionals and share the same goal:

the stronger the bond between us, the
better result we show on the field.”
When it comes to the world of
professional sport, ‘blood, sweat and
tears’ is not a metaphor. Yet Gabulov is
reluctant to discuss injuries: “There’s
no professional football player who’s
100 percent healthy. Almost every
one of us feels some sort of
discomfort or pain when he
walks out on the field. And we
know what we signed up for:
football is the most traumatic
sport of them all. Winning can
be a really painful process.”
Asked what might come after
football, Gabulov – a father of two –
says that nothing is decided yet.
“Last year I attended a sports
management course, and this year
I studied to become a trainer in
a special group among other
football players. Maybe I’ll
write a book. I’ll think about it
when the time’s right,” he says.
“Right now, all I’m thinking
about is playing football.”
As the 2018 World Cup
approaches, which will be hosted
by Russia in June and July, that’s what
everybody else will be thinking about,
too. Gabulov says he feels optimistic
about the championship being held in
his homeland. “I have absolutely
no doubt that we will host
the best World Cup yet. And
I really hope the Russian
team will be the talk of the
tournament,” he says. “Trust
me – together, we have the
potential to surprise everyone.”

“This is the classic Icelandic day trip, and it’s quite
an easy one to do,” says Asa. “Parts of it are getting
quite touristy, but it’s popular because the sights are
so spectacular – and at the big draws like the Gullfoss
waterfall, if you’re patient, you can usually still get a
photo without people in it.”
Drive up the spectacular, winding 435 road that
Ben Stiller longboards down in Hollywood movie The
Secret Life of Walter Mitty, towards Lake Thingvallatn,
Iceland’s largest lake. At the end of the road, head
north and east, skirting the lake and passing through
the gorgeous, UNESCO-listed Thingvellir National
Park , on the boundary between the Eurasian and
North American tectonic plates. From there, you’ll
head 65km or so east to Haukadalur, a geothermal
area in a valley famous for its geysers (the Geysir here
gave us the word ‘geyser’). Stop for lunch on the way at
Efstidalur II , a farm hotel just beyond Laugarvatn,
known for its homemade ice cream, burgers and
vegetables, all from the family farm.
The most active geyser is the iconic Strokkur ,
which erupts every 10 minutes or so, with the water
shooting more than 30m into the air. Another 10
minutes or so further inland, along the Hvítá river,
you’ll arrive at the mighty Gullfoss waterfall , with
its step-like falls and spray from the deep crevice. It’s
especially spectacular in winter.
Head back, south and west towards Reykjavik. In
just under an hour, you’ll reach Kerið Crater Lake ,
a circle of sapphire water surrounded by the red rock
of a volcano, which is especially beautiful at sunset.

The South
The main road from Reykjavik to Vik along Iceland’s
south coast has some incredible sights, all accessible
from a single road. “I always recommend this trip to
visitors,” says Asa, “because there are just so many
places to choose between – from black sand beaches to
glaciers. There are more waterfalls in the south than
anywhere else in Iceland, and it all looks so different
depending on the time of year.”
Drive more than an hour towards Vik, joining
Highway 1, which goes around the whole of Iceland.
Make your first stop at the Lava Centre  (lavacentre.is),

tell the story of the earthquakes and volcanoes that

Snorkelling the Silfra Fissure

Floating in the bright blue glacial waters between the
American and European tectonic plates is an ethereal
bucket list activity that’s completely unique. “It feels
more like flying than anything,” says Asa, who has
both snorkelled and dived at the site. “The water is
some of the clearest in the world, because it comes
straight from the glacier – so you’re looking deep into
the fissure. You almost feel dizzy looking down.”
You’ll drive around 45 minutes or so to the fissure
itself , a crack in the land filled with clear blue-
green water, surrounded by moss. While the water
temperature is a chilly 2-40C all year round, you’ll don
a warm dry suit before hitting the water (divesilfra.is).
“I did it on the coldest day of the year,” says Asa. “It
wasn’t warm, exactly, but it was bearable.” ASA’S TIP:

Into the Glacier
The main activity of this day trip takes you deep into
the man-made bright blue ice tunnels underneath
the Langjökull Glacier  (intotheglacier.is), around
an hour and a half north of the capital. There, starting
from the base camp at Húsafell, a repurposed NATO
missile carrier with eight wheels and weighing 30
tonnes takes you to 1,355m above sea level, with
epic views along the way. Then, after strapping on
crampons (a type of special spiked footwear that
helps you grip the ice), you’ll enter the 500m or so of
tunnels, lit by electric blue LED lights so that you can
explore its cool interiors.
ASA’S TIP:
“Hraunfossar is beautiful all
year-round – it looks like the water
comes straight from the lava. But in
autumn, the falls are surrounded
by amazing oranges and
yellows.”

humorous guides, who will also sing you a traditional
Icelandic lullaby in the ice chapel, deep in the glacier.
With the experience taking around two or three
hours, you should have time for a spot of sightseeing
on the drive back. You’ll pass the Hraunfossar Falls 
(the name means ‘waterfall of the children’), a series of
small falls running 900m across a lava field, and
Deildartunguhver, a steaming bath that is said to be
Europe’s most powerful thermal spring (though there’s
no swimming – the water’s 970C). Have lunch or dinner

The Reykjanes Peninsula
The Reykjanes Peninsula, in Iceland’s southwest, isn’t
just about the famous Blue Lagoon – it’s also home
to some of Iceland’s most otherworldly volcanic
landscapes, which are easily reached from Reykjavik.
“This part of Iceland is really underrated,” says Asa.
“I think it’s because it’s close to the airport. But it’s
really unspoilt – because of the lava landscapes, you
can’t build on most of it, so it feels like a real escape.”
The iconic, bright turquoise Blue Lagoon 
(bluelagoon.com) is just 42 minutes’ drive from the
capital, and is still a must-visit, even if there are more
peaceful hot baths in Iceland (a new luxury day spa, set
to open in early 2018, will be quieter). Remember to
book in advance, and plan to spend at least a few hours
ASA’S TIP:
“Go to Lake Kleifarvatn, near

After thousands of years in the making, the Macedonian

capital of Skopje is finally stepping into the spotlight

WORDS ALEX CREVAR

PHOTOS IVAN VUKELIC
P etre Šilegov, the mayor of Skopje, is
a man who trusts his own instincts.
One of his favourite phrases is
“I make difficult decisions easily,”
and in many ways, this philosophy
sums up the capital of Macedonia. The
city, surrounded by mountains and
bisected by the Vardar River, blends
multiple different traditions: a product of having had
a front-row seat to watch the rise and fall of the Greek,
Macedonian, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman Empires
on the Balkan Peninsula. It’s a city that can truly lay
claim to the word ‘ancient’, having witnessed major
historic eras dating all the way back to the Bronze Age.
But it’s not only history on offer here.
PETRE ŠILEGOV (right)
is mayor of Skopje
and is passionate about
“We have an advantage, because we have the ability
to surprise,” says Šilegov about his home city. “In
Skopje, we can offer visitors everything along history’s
timeline, as well as world-class food and wine, different
religions, and cultures – all within one walkable town,
which includes an ancient fortress, the Ottoman-era
bazaar, and modern buildings.” The city is currently
going through a restructuring of its roads and tunnels
to revitalise parks and forests, and to make the city
centre more bike-friendly. The result, Šilegov hopes,
will be winning the title of European Green Capital 2021.
“Here, our differences are our strengths. You’ll find that
living well is a habit here. People are the soul of our city.”
We’ve come to Skopje to spend a weekend in search of
that soul, looking to discover the sites that best
represent this ancient, and modern, city. Our first stop
after the mayor’s office is the Museum of Contemporary
Art (msu.mk), which overlooks the city on a hill. The

“The Museum of Contemporary Art was just one of

the elements of Skopje’s rebirth,” says Mira Gakjina,
the museum’s acting director. “The symbol of the
city is a phoenix, indicating its ability to rise from the
ashes. In its extremely long existence, Skopje has faced
devastating destruction, after which it’s always renewed.”
From the museum’s wide windows on the hilltop,
you can look across the city and see her point. Skopje
has been crafted from the remains of many different
eras and styles; it’s a unique modern collage made up
of citizens of Macedonian, Albanian, Turkish, Serbian,
Bosnian, and Roma descent. The Kale Fortress lies
directly below the museum. Its castle walls and towers,
with 6th century foundations, are built on the remnants
of a settlement dating back to 4,000BC. In the city

“You must try our food and our wine,” says Donev.
“People here know how to live and these are two big
reasons. Our ingredients are fresh. When you try them,
you’ll find out what ‘real’ tastes like. Combine that with
low prices. If you don’t enjoy these things while you are
in the city, then it’s like you never came.”
Willingly taking his advice, we head to Forza
Wine Bar and Restaurant (facebook.com/
ForzaWineBarRestaurant), which doubles as a wine
market where diners can choose bottles at retail prices.
Forza keeps a rotation of about 130 labels in stock –
around 85 percent of which are Macedonian.
“Our country was gifted with the perfect climate, 270
sunny days per year, and a diversity of terroirs,” Ivana
Simjanovska tells us as we sip a dry white Temjanika
from the country’s Tikveš region. Simjanovska is the
coauthor of Macedonia’s wine guide and the cofounder
and organiser of Skopje’s annual Vinodonia Wine Salon
(vinodonia.mk), which celebrates the best of local and
international vintages. “Macedonian wines are simply
of an excellent quality. If you have good grapes, you can

make good wine. If you have good oenologists – people
who study the science of wine – you can make the best.
Our oenologists are very good,” she says. Based on the
bottles we sample, it’s hard to disagree.
The next morning, we set off to explore the Debar
Maalo neighbourhood – Skopje’s answer to London’s
Soho – where locals socialise and listen to jazz. Artists
and young professionals crowd cafés, while families
cycle along the tree-lined avenues. With us is Jana
Acevska (kapka.mk), a local designer who creates
jewellery that she describes as “wearable art” from
an assortment of materials including copper, wood
and brass. Our first stop is Casa Bar (facebook.com/
CasaDiBorbone), widely considered to be the
neighbourhood’s hub, where DJs spin tunes in the
evening and acoustic acts perform on weekends.

“This city is so full of life. There is a real feeling that
everything is possible.”
Our final morning is crisp with bright blue skies.
We meet Aleksandar Donev again, this time taking
a hike up the city’s local mountain, Vodno. We walk
along trails and occasionally under cable cars that
whisk families up to the 1,066m peak. At the top, we
stand under the towering steel Millennium Cross – at
66m high, the fifth tallest in the world. Below us, we
can see all of Skopje. The Ottoman quarter, the main
square with its giant monuments, Debar Maalo –
even the former train station, damaged during the
earthquake, which now serves as the City Museum.
The clock on its façade is frozen on 5:17am – the
moment the disaster struck on 26 July 1963.
“People are attracted to the edge of things,”
Donev says, as we survey the city we’ve spent the
last few days exploring. “That’s why travellers
climb mountains and set sail on voyages of discovery.
And Skopje has always been at the forefront of
empires and traditions. But, it is also a connector,
bringing together all those ‘edges’ and interpreting
them in a completely new way.”
“I could live anywhere in the world with my job,
but I chose here,” says Acevska. “Skopje has a great Wizz Air flies to Skopje
spirit. The hustle and bustle of the old city, the rich
tradition, and its charm make it an inspiring place to
live and create. It’s a place where East meets West.”
We make our way down the street for a classic Skopje
lunch in Kamin Čamo (facebook.com/camokamin),
where regulars gather around a fireplace to order veal
and lamb and local specialties like sarma (minced meat
wrapped in cabbage). Nearly every table is crowded
with glasses of rakija (local schnapps), plates of roasted
peppers, bowls of fresh greens, and wedges of cheese.
Afterwards, we head to Bruklinski Jazz Bistro (facebook.

with exposed-brick walls and chalkboards displaying
the wine selection. “The kindness and warmth of the

is used to going to extreme
lengths to take pictures,
including visiting the coldest

Europe’s most remote regions. So last July, when he
heard that Georgia was about to introduce new laws
on the use of drones for photography, he bundled
his brand new Quadcopter onto a plane and set
off for a two-week photographic expedition around
the picturesque country.
“Georgia is an incredible place, and I wanted to
get over there while I could still take these types of
photos. It’s a little-known country, which is exciting as
a photographer because you can get to places that are
relatively untouched by the outside world,” he says.

“Kutaisi is Georgia’s third

because so much of Georgia’s
eye candy is in the mountains

THE KATSKHI PILLAR

“The monk who lives on the top of this pillar
one day had a revelation and wanted to be
closer to God. He climbed up the pillar 24
years ago and lived inside the only structure
he had – a fridge. Bit by bit, people warmed
to the idea of a house on top of a rock, so
they started sending him building materials
and eventually he built a church and a
house. I was one of the only journalists to
be allowed up there, so this photo is very

that, Batumi is visually quite different, which
is why I took this photograph. For me, Batumi
is a cross between Thailand and Las Vegas

part of Georgia’s coastline is a separate
region, so Batumi is all Georgia has left of the
coast, which is why it gets so busy.”

THE UPLISTSIKHE CAVE CITY

“This is an ancient cave city and
one of Georgia’s oldest remaining

I arrived, there was a very strong
summer wind. The light was perfect,
and there was this dramatic cloud,
but the sensors on my camera were
beeping, telling me the conditions

must-sees. Set in beautiful gardens, the
mansion is filled with priceless art, and
hosts regular classical music concerts

Tallinn
Why it’s hot Tallinn’s trendiest spot
right now is Kalamaja (visittallinn.ee), a
post-industrial area whose old complexes
and factories have been transformed into
cafés, bars and art galleries. Restaurants,
shops and even theatres have also been
popping up out of the historic wooden
townhouses – no wonder creatives are
making the zone their favourite haunt.
While you’re there For something a
bit more laid-back, Kadriorg Palace is set

to Peter the Great and the 18th century.
The Tsar established the gardens for his
wife shortly after he conquered Estonia
(Kadriorg means ‘Catherine’s Valley’),
lending it a certain romantic legacy.

there, most recently thanks to
the country being named one

Bucharest
Why it’s hot Bucharest is one
of the world’s fastest growing
travel destinations, and it’s not
all that surprising when you
consider everything the city
has to offer. With imposing
architecture like the Palace of
Parliament, beautiful outdoor
spaces such as the Cişmigiu
Gardens and a buzzing nightlife
in the revitalised old town,
there’s plenty to see and do in
the ‘Little Paris of the East’.
While you’re there
Don’t leave the Romanian
capital without visiting one
of the world’s most beautiful
bookshops: Cărtureşti Carusel
(carturesticarusel.ro). The 19th
century building was formerly
a bank, but now contains six
floors of books interlaced with
Art Deco staircases and long
balconies.

7 Why it’s hot The British Midlands

may not be the first place you’d
expect to find quality whisky, but
the Midlands Whisky Festival
(whiskyfest.co.uk), held from 16–17
March, sets out to change that.
Visitors can expect plenty of tasting
sessions and masterclass tutorials.
While you’re there No trip to
the UK would be complete without
visiting a real-life stately home.
Hoar Cross Hall (hoarcross.co.uk),
a grade II-listed building that dates
back to 1871, is the perfect place to
step back in time, complete with
afternoon tea in true British style.
It’s also a spa hotel, should you wish
to stay in the elegant environs.

8 Agadir
Why it’s hot Building work
around Morocco in recent
years has sought to honour the
country’s arts and crafts, and
La Médina d’Agadir is one of
the best examples, designed
by Moroccan-born Italian
architect Coco Polizzi and built
by Moroccan craftsman using
traditional techniques.
While you’re there
Situated on a hilltop above
the city, the Kasbah is one of
Agadir’s only ancient buildings
still standing. Apart from its
impressive design – a true slice
of old Agadir – it also offers the
best views of the city below.

9 Eilat Ovda
Why it’s hot Desert tours are
all the rage in Israel right now,
as the country seeks to promote
its beautiful natural landscape.
The Darom Adom (Red South)
Festival takes place in the Negev
desert in February, to time
with the sprouting of Israel’s
national flower, the anemone,
which stays in bloom for about
four weeks each year. The
occasion is marked by culinary,
artistic and cultural events.
While you’re there Ever
stayed in a kibbutz? In these
old commune-style habitats,
people share everything, and
with tourists now rushing
to Eilat, nearby kibbutzim
are opening their doors as
guesthouses, permitting an
experience of one of Israel’s
most unique features. Try
Kibbutz Eilot Hotel (eilot.co.il).

Tromso
Why it’s hot Tromso is one
of the best places in the whole
of Europe to seek out the
Northern Lights, thanks to
its position 70° north, in the
middle of the auroral oval
– the area with the highest
probability of seeing the Aurora
Borealis. There are plenty of
tour operators based in the city
ready to take you on the hunt,
just be sure to wrap up warm
and bring your camera.
While you’re there Take a
stroll across the breathtaking
Tromso Bridge, a cantilever
road and walkway bridge that
connects the city – which
is located on an island – to
the Norwegian mainland.
There, you can pay a visit to
the futuristic-looking Arctic
Cathedral, or simply admire
the views back across the city.

Join the
#IamWIZZcrew
family
Working as a pilot or cabin crew for Wizz Air
could take your career to new heights
E
ver wanted a job that will
whisk you all over the world,
give you the chance to work
with people from all corners of the
continent, and where every day is
different? Working for Wizz Air,
the largest low-cost airline in
Central and Eastern Europe, would
offer just that and much more.
Wizz Air operates more than 550
routes from 28 bases, connecting
more than 140 destinations across
44 countries. And we’re looking
to grow our brilliant team. Our
biggest ever recruitment campaign,
APPLICATION AND DETAILED INFORMATION AT WIZZAIR.COM/CAREER
114 WIZZ MAGAZINE
#IamWIZZcrew, is now underway,
and over the next 12 months alone
we’ll be hiring almost 1,300 new
positions across our network.
You can find out more about
joining our team on this page,
and by searching #IamWIZZcrew
on social media, where you’ll find
more of our amazing crew telling
you all about their incredible
roles, as well as details on our
recruitment events. You can look
for us on Facebook, Instagram,
Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn.
What are you waiting for?
Becoming a
Wizz Air pilot
Working as a pilot for Wizz Air is
great if you want to spend time
with your loved ones, because we
are one of the few airlines that, where
possible, give pilots the chance to fly
from their home countries.
We also offer our employees
fast-track development opportunities:
if you begin your career at Wizz Air
as a cadet-level First Officer, you can
become Senior First Officer within
two years. If you have the ambition
to become a Captain you can apply
for the upgrade programme after a
further two years, and then if you
pass the evaluation, you will become
a fully qualified Captain.
ADAM’S STORY
For Adam Marczuk, there was no
other job that could compete with
becoming a pilot. “I was always
fascinated by the idea of flying,” he
says. So, after working for a private
equity fund he decided to turn his
passion into his job and become an
airline pilot.

Ready for
takeoff
Adam loves
scuba diving
Adam joined Wizz Air in 2010 and
is currently employed as a Senior
First Officer based at his local airport
in Warsaw. “I’m lucky to have a really
good work-life balance, and I live just
a 15-minute drive from the airport,” he
says. “That balance also gives me the
opportunity to pursue my hobby as a
scuba diving instructor – in my spare
time I work with a charity teaching
disabled people to dive. It’s my
biggest passion after flying.”
His role at WIZZ also offers Adam
the opportunity to participate in
open days and recruitment events.
“I really enjoy attending these events
– it means that when I’m not flying,
I’m talking about flying to the future
generation of pilots. I enjoy sharing
my experiences and encouraging
people to follow their dreams, since
that’s what I’m doing too,” he
explains. As for how he describes the
role to prospective new colleagues,
Adam says that it’s simple. “You are
joining a fast-growing, exciting and
supportive company with a real
variety of routes to fly. We’re a happy
team and a smile is always met with a
smile by my colleagues.”
Becoming
a member
of cabin crew
We are looking for dedicated,
positive, energetic, hard-
working, friendly candidates
to join our fantastic cabin
crew. It’s a job that presents
new challenges every day,
offers flexible working hours,
long-term opportunities, an
incredible work environment,
fantastic colleagues, plus the
chance to travel all over
Europe and beyond – not
something you can say for
the average office job.
LIENE’S STORY
Liene Kraule was working
as a nurse when she realised
that she wanted a change of
career, and decided to
combine her enjoyment of
working with people with her
love for travel. “I was keen to
find a job where I could
interact with the public and
also be part of an international
team. Joining Wizz Air offered
exactly that,” she says. Liene
began as a Junior Cabin Crew
WIZZ INSIGHT
Attendant in 2014 when her
local WIZZ base in Riga
opened. Since then, she has
quickly climbed through the
ranks, and is now a First Aid
Trainer. “I consider myself
really lucky, because medicine
is also my passion, so my role
is the perfect mix,” she smiles.
In her spare time, Liene is
adventurous. As well as
indulging her love of travel
with trips to Tel Aviv and
Agadir, where she learnt to
surf, she has also trained with
the Latvian National Guard,
and taken up water-skiing and
salsa dancing. “I love trying
exciting activities, but I also
like peaceful nights in with a
board game,” she laughs.
As for her role at Wizz Air,
Liene says that “the best part
of my job is having the chance
to help bring people into the
profession. I love seeing
someone’s confusion turn into
understanding, and I would
encourage anyone considering
a job at Wizz Air. It’s the best!”
Liene’s passion
for travel includes
surfing in Agadir

SAFETY
SAFETY AND HEALTH
Please consider your fellow passengers while
onboard and pay attention to the information
below. Be informed that by purchasing your
Wizz Air ticket, you have accepted the Wizz
Air General Conditions of Carriage.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT
It is an offence to tamper with or remove any
safety equipment onboard this aircraft, including
the life vests. Any such actions may jeopardise
the safety of other passengers and lead to
prosecution. Life vests for infants are available
and provided whenever flying over water. Please
hand in infant life vest and seatbelt to cabin
crew before leaving the aircraft.
SAFE HANDLING OF YOUR HAND
LUGGAGE
Please ensure that your hand luggage remains
safely stowed for takeoff, landing and at any
time as instructed by the crew. Place small bags
under the seat in front of you (unless you are
seated in an emergency exit row); larger items
must go in the overhead lockers. Place your
bag securely in the locker, use caution when
stowing items overhead and take care when
opening lockers, as falling items may injure
fellow passengers. Please note that in case of
evacuation all baggage must be left onboard.
SHARP ITEMS
If you need to dispose of any sharp items
(i.e. hypodermic needle), please contact a
member of the cabin crew.
TURBULENCE MANAGEMENT
Turbulence can often occur unexpectedly.
While seatbelt signs are on during the flight
we kindly ask our passengers to follow cabin
crew instructions, remain seated, keep seatbelts
fastened, stow away laptops and other large
electronic devices.
MEDICAL SUPPLIES ONBOARD
If you plan to take any medication with you for
your next flight always keep it in the original
packaging, carry enough to last the duration of
your trip and bring it in your handbag so you
have easy access to it. It is also advised to have
a letter from your doctor confirming the name
and type of medication being carried, with
prescribed doses. The letter should state what
the medication is for and any other medical
items required, such as syringes or EpiPens,
that might otherwise be questioned by local
security or customs. We kindly recommend
always informing your cabin crew in case
you have some allergies or illnesses. Wear a
Medic-Alert bracelet or necklace and consider
avoiding travelling alone if you have health
problems. A medical certificate confirming
fitness to fly can be required.
EXERCISES FOR YOUR UPPER AND LOWER BODY DURING THE FLIGHT:
A B
118 WIZZ MAGAZINE
If you are seriously ill or post-surgery you
will need a medical certificate from a doctor
confirming that you are fit to fly. If you have
limited mobility (for any reason), are hearing or
sight impaired, are pregnant or are unable to
understand/react to safety instructions, you will
be unable to sit in the emergency exit rows or
the front row. This is a standard safety practice
followed by all airlines.
PRM ASSISTANCE
You will need to travel with an assistant if you
cannot do any of the following by yourself:
breathing, feeding, communicating, going to
the toilet, medicating. If you plan to travel alone
and it becomes evident at any stage that you
will not be self-reliant, Wizz Air may insist on
the presence of an assistant or companion and
regrettably may have to refuse carriage if you
cannot comply with this requirement.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
In accordance with International Civil Aviation
Authority safety regulations, the use of devices
for messaging, calls or internet access must
remain switched off once the aircraft doors
are closed. Some devices can be used during
the flight (when the seatbelt sign has been
switched off), these include:
■ Bluetooth devices, excluding telephones.
■ Devices (including PDAs and smart phones)
that have a ‘flight-safe’ mode, provided this is
enabled before the aircraft doors are closed.
Devices without ‘flight-safe’ mode will need to
be switched off during the flight. You might be
asked to switch off your devices by cabin crew
during low visibility operation.
■ Laptops and tablet PCs including those with
built-in WLAN/Wi-Fi, provided the WLAN/Wi-Fi
is switched off prior to the doors being closed.
■ Electronic games, eBooks, MP3s, DVD and
CD players, provided that any WLAN/Wi-Fi is
switched off prior to the doors being closed.
If in doubt, please keep devices switched off
for the duration of the flight as they may interfere
with our systems or ask your cabin attendant.
NOTE: Portable electronic devices use on the
ground, during takeoff and landing should be
limited to small, lightweight devices less than
0.9kg. Your device should be able to be easily
secured in your hand or seat pocket and not
impede emergency access to the aisle during
taxi, takeoff and landing.
We ask you to remove your earphones and
mute your electronic devices during the safety
demonstration by cabin crew.
LITHIUM BATTERIES
Portable Electronic Devices (PED) like
cellphones, laptops, tablets, cameras etc. can
contain lithium batteries.
C D
WIZZ INSIGHT
What are the risks? When damaged, faulty
or overheated, these batteries can catch fire
and explode. Therefore, if you recognise any
problem with your device during the flight
immediately inform the cabin crew. Please also
note that charging electronic devices onboard
using a power bank is forbidden.
INFLIGHT HEALTH TIPS
Following some basic precautions before and
during the flight, you will make your journey
more enjoyable. Please keep reading for the
below helpful tips on how to stay fit when
travelling by air.
BEFORE TAKEOFF
NUTRITION:
Eat: light, low-fat meals containing protein
and complex carbohydrates, which will give
you energy throughout your flight. Take the
appropriate vitamins.
Avoid: large, heavy meals that will leave you
feeling bloated and uncomfortable in your
seat. If you have any restrictions in your diet
you should definitely pack something from
home. This includes low sodium, low fat, low
cholesterol, etc.
HYDRATION: Flying can significantly dehydrate
you, so it is important to be well hydrated before
you check in.
Drink: natural fluids such as water and fruit juice.
Avoid: alcohol and caffeinated drinks such as
tea, coffee and cola.
■ Have gum or candy ready for takeoff
and landing to reduce the effect of changes in
air pressure.
■ Low humidity in the cabin can exacerbate
allergic or asthmatic conditions. Take the
necessary precautions.
IN THE AIR
If you start to feel unwell during the flight do
not hesitate to advise the cabin crew about
your condition.
NUTRITION: During the flight choose light
meals and snacks, which will help you to avoid
being hungry and stomach problems and will
keep your energy levels topped up. Remember
to wash your hands, especially before eating.
HYDRATION: Stay hydrated – keep a bottle of
water close at hand and drink small quantities
regularly to avoid dehydration. Take caffeine or
alcohol in moderation.
CLOTHING: To help you relax, loosen your tie,
belt or tight waistband and use the layering
principle of adding or removing layers to stay
at a comfortable temperature, rather than
wearing thick, single items of clothing.
EXERCISE: Be as active as possible:
Do exercises in your seat. Try the following
routine every 30 minutes:
