Romania's Wizz Air Keeps The Cheap Italy Routes Coming
How about heading to Romania? It's like Italy, but cheaper! And further east! And they spell "pasta" like "paste!" With all these charms, how can you not give up some Milan action for Transylvania? Now thanks to the Wizz Air, you won't have to decide between the two since you can have both.
The European low-cost carrier, which already offers some tempting routes between Italy and Romania, is adding even more to continue the stream of tourism. Beginning on September 21, you'll be able to hop between Catania, a major Sicilian city, and Bucharest. Then, on October 28, Bucharest will also welcome flights from Bologna-Forli.
Although the flights will only be twice a week, it's a huge improvement over the state of Italy-Romania flights only a few years ago, when we were dying to get from Rome to Cluj-Napoca without, well, dying on government-owned Romanian airline TAROM. That route is also available now on Wizz Air, and even from Rome's main Fiumicino airport and not the dinky, Ryanair-happy Ciampino airport. Anyways, we digress. Get thee to Romania cheaply!

Wizz Air's Balloons Pop Prematurely
Poor Wizz Air. What started out as a sweet little marketing idea to celebrate the Eastern European low-cost carrier's fifth anniversary turned nasty this week, and we feel bad for them.
The airline set up a press conference and speaking event in Budapest, and the final act of the day was going to be the release of 1,000 balloons, each with a 10,000 forint ($50) coupon attached which the lucky finder could redeem on a Wizz Air flight.

Told You So Travel: Ryanair Ready for Sarko-Bruni Honeymoon
After a globe-trotting whirlwind romance, Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni got hitched in Paris this weekend. And though they spent their wedding night at the Palace of Versailles, they could do much better to keep up their Super World Traveler status.
Ryanair, the airline the couple sued over a witty ad, has lots of departures from Paris. What better way to put a ridiculous lawsuit to rest than snagging a super-cheap seat on the low cost carrier?
Flights leave Paris Beauvais airport--which is about 50 miles north of the city--for Stockholm, Rome, Dublin and Valencia among other spots. Sarko hardly seems like the romantic type, but what bride wouldn't love a trip to Venice? And if the duo isn't ready to put the feud with Ryanair behind them, no worries: Beauvais is also served by Wizz Air and Centralwings.

Bad Jokes Are Free At Wizz Air
We've long admired Central European LCC Wizz Air for their unashamed use of pink in their corporate colors and website, but now we're going to pull them up for their extremely poor puns. Would you buy a ticket from London to somewhere in Poland on the strength of this:
You can do a loty with your zloty.
Assuming you even know that zloty is the Polish currency, you're surely only going to groan rather than book a flight from various UK airports to Krakow, Warsaw or Gdansk even at the very reasonable price of £19.99 ($30), all taxes and charges included. (We love the European LCCs new wave of truth-in-advertising.)
Poor puns aside, Wizz Air has been busy of late, opening a new base in Poznan, Poland and expanding services from Bucharest and the Transylvanian city of Tirgu Mures. The airline also proudly announced that it offers the most routes of any carrier between Poland and Scandinavia, which is fantastic, because we're always scratching our heads about how to fly from Poland to Scandinavia.
