Getting a boarding pass at transit area at AUH for Wizz Air
I plan to take a 06:00 flight on Wizz Air Abu Dhabi and would be arriving from MCT-AUH at 00:20 the same day. Would I be able to get a boarding pass/visa check at the transit counter?
Is there anyway to get to the transit from arrival, or alternative I have to clear immigration and wait till 03:00 for the Wizz Air counter to open? (Wizz Air's website state the visa check would open 180 minutes before the first flight)

I don't know about the transit counter, but the one landside is open 24/7 and I managed to get a BP for a6AM flight at midnight even though they did not have any flights leaving before 5.

Thanks for the answer! Were you in the old AUH or at the new terminal A. That would be great then if they open 24/7

No specific experience to offer but typically LCCs like Wizz are often not represented at transit counters as they consider themselves as point to point airlines and are often not available in GDS systems. If they do sell through tickets any transit counter service might only be at a hub. No harm trying at the transit counter but might be worth assuming you need to go landside.

Just now in AUH and I am able to check in at 01:00. The transfer desk people ask me to clear immigration.
surprisingly the line for Wizz air is not short…. I wonder if they’re all for 0600 departure lol
