How to save costs and fly
more with Wingly

Wingly enables me to share my passion of flying with others and at a third or even a quarter of the cost it would normally be. I have flown more with Wingly than I ever would have otherwise which also enables me to be a safer pilot too through more frequent, regular flying, increasing my currency significantly.

You can verify yourself by uploading a photo of your current flying licences with the last ratings and a valid medical certificate. Wingly will then manually verify your profile.

On Wingly you are the captain and you choose who you choose to fly. When your Passengers request they will put in their weights and their availabilities and it's up to you to who you want to fly with and accept their requests.

On Wingly you can cancel flights for any reason due to weather or other reasons. There is no pressure to fly and passengers are automatically refunded.

For rented planes, allowable shared costs include rental and fuel costs (rental plus fuel for “dry rate” aircraft, full rental cost for “wet rate” planes). Pilots flying their own aircraft can share fuel expenses and airport landing and tie-down costs associated with the trip. The Wingly system does not allow amounts paid by any passenger to exceed their pro-rata share of the above costs.

Passengers have to enter the total weight of each passenger and luggage when booking. You will always be able to see if a user is within the weight limitations. Then you can decide whether to approve the passengers on your flight or not depending on their weights.

This is very simple. You add your bank account information on Wingly and you get sent a direct wire of their share of the costs. Once the flight was has taken place, there is a 48 hour window until our payment provider wires you the money via secure bank transfer.
