Emblazoning her bulk across the front of an aircraft doesn't seem a great idea; hopefully they're not going to actually do it!

Looks like in order to board the aircraft Ms Collins would have to swallow you.
If Wizz are going to base this in the UK I suggest there is nowhere more appropriate than Southend.

22/04 I think you are being overly generous calling the last few contributors ‘gentlemen’. Why people feel it is ok to resort to crass, personalised attacks when they don’t like something confounds me. Akin to playing the man not the ball.

AndrewH52. I think it’s all a bit tongue in cheek, but seriously Ms Collins does have a large media following and could well influence the younger end of the market. As DC3 Dave says, SEN could well be a good place to branch into the Med holiday market. We have a large, pretty loyal to Southend catchment area and we do love our sun, sea and sangria holidays.

LED will get a 2nd aircraft in December with 5 new routes to Italy (TRN, BGY, TSF, BLQ, CTA).
Italy - Ukraine seems to be a big new market. FR also will launch several new routes to go haed to head with Wizz.

What demographic are Wizz trying to target in this campaign and for which routes are they trying to in raise consumer awareness and increase sales ? This looks to be a campaign of introducing the brand to those who might know only Easyjet/Ryanair with an emphasis on taking Brits to Portugal/Spain/Greece for a holiday on a budget; those interested in a city break in Budapest are not the focus
They are already well known amongst the communities from eastern Europe living in the UK so won't care if this advert doesn't reasonate with them

I'll be honest, that whole campaign is completely misreading the tone at the moment. The whole tapping of elbows of crew whilst not wearing any face covering, the whole premise of it. Wizz marketing really didn't hit it right on this one.
In a normal time, she'd probably make for a good campaign actually. But not this and not now.

Wow - all that says to me is that Wizz is not a serious entity.
It screams 'we want stag and hen parties on board our planes'. This comes at a time when resorts in the Med (Spain most recently) are actively trying to discourage the 'trash' end of the market.
The only time I've used Wizz was a one way flight between Germany and Belgrade and there was nearly a full-on fight during the flight between a group of Germans and some Dutch guys. There was a huge amount of verbal alcohol-fuelled aggression, exacerbated by the crew irresponsibly selling them more, continuously.
Fully expected the police to board on landing but it didn't happen - I read that as saying 'this kind of thing is ok / normal on our flights'. Needless to say I've avoided them since.

Ms Collins has previous when it comes to behaviour at airports.

I think DJ has hit the nail on the head. This is about telling a certain demographic that Wizz can fly them to the Costas, not just Eastern Europe.

She appears to be an overweight Lorraine Chase, without the class. Heaven forbid being wedged in the seat next to her for 3 hours.
Business and economy class has now been joined by the ultra low Chav class product.
A UK staycation is looking more appealing by the minute.
