Wizz Air Flies Spanish Influencers on Secret Cyprus Trip
More than 100 Spanish journalists and content creators landed in Cyprus without knowing their destination during a three-day programme.
Updated on Nov. 10, 2026 in Budget Travel
Wizz Air flew more than 100 Spanish journalists and content creators to Cyprus on a surprise trip, with participants boarding in Barcelona on November 6 without knowing the destination. The three-day initiative, called Let's Get Lost, ran from November 7 to 9.
Why it matters
The campaign aims to promote Cyprus as a year-round destination beyond the peak summer season. Content shared by participants is expected to expose Spanish audiences to the island's attractions.
Participants stayed at four hotels: Golden Bay Beach Hotel, Radisson Beach Resort Larnaca, Sandy Beach Hotel and Lordos Beach Hotel & Spa, with the programme running three days from November 7 to 9. The source does not report the cost of flights or accommodation for participants.
The players
Wizz Air
A Hungarian low-cost airline that operates routes across Europe and has been expanding into Spain.
Deputy Ministry of Tourism (Cyprus)
The Cypriot government body responsible for tourism policy and promotion, which co-organised the initiative.
The details
The aircraft landed at Larnaka International Airport on Friday night, after which the group visited the traditional village of Lefkara and tasted wine at Dafermou Winery. The programme ended with a sunset party at Cap St George Hotel and Resort in Paphos, and was co-organised with the Deputy Ministry of Tourism and sponsored by Hermes Airports.

Travel Outlook
The initiative fits into Cyprus's broader effort to spread tourism across the year rather than concentrating it in peak summer months. It also reflects low-cost carriers such as Wizz Air using promotional routes to build demand in new source markets like Spain.
Travelers interested in Cyprus during quieter months can look for off-peak airfares on low-cost carriers, though the source does not give specific fare figures. Booking early and checking hotel rates for the shoulder season may help control costs.
The takeaway
Off-season destinations often offer lower prices and fewer crowds, making shoulder-season travel a practical option for budget-minded trips. Comparing fares across dates can reveal savings on flights to lesser-visited times of year.
