On October 8, 2025, I booked a flight from Rome Fiumicino Airport to Baku through Kiwi.com with the reservation code RR2J4U. Along with my ticket, I also purchased a 10 kg baggage allowance. However, during boarding, Wizz Air staff told me that no baggage allowance appeared in their system and demanded an additional €73 fee, which I had no choice but to pay. Wizz Air informed me that the issue originated from Kiwi.com and that I should request a refund directly from them.
After the flight, I contacted Kiwi.com customer service via both email and chat, requesting a refund. Their response was completely unreasonable:
“Yes, we did receive your payment for the 10 kg baggage, but since the €73 was paid to Wizz Air, we cannot refund it.”
This makes no sense, as I had already paid Kiwi.com for the baggage, and due to their system’s error, I was forced to pay again at the airport. This situation caused unnecessary stress and financial loss.
I am requesting that the €73 additional baggage fee be refunded to my credit card immediately. I also had travel insurance for this booking, and I expect Kiwi.com to investigate this issue urgently and resolve my complaint as soon as possible.
