Wingly is like a carpooling portal for flights in general aviation planes: Pilots can offer trips or sightseeing flights, and you can tag along – for a share of the price. You can pay for these services either directly or by using a gift card. Until May 2, 2024, you can get a 20% discount when using the gift card option:
Gift cards are valid one year after purchase, and their validity can be extended during that period. You can either buy them at a fixed value of £75, £150, £250 or £400. Or you can simply select a flight or sightseeing tour you want to take and buy a gift card for the exact amount. The gift cards are available in Euro and Swiss Francs with the exact same steps in value.
About Wingly
Wingly is an initially French company that moved operations to Berlin in 2016. Since its creation in 2015, the start-up has long left the cradle and expanded into Germany, Switzerland, France and the United Kingdom. The idea of connecting private pilots with potential customers via a flight sharing platform wasn’t new at the time.
In America, several of these platforms were shutdown because of legal issues, because their offerings couldn’t be distinguished from commercial aviation, which requires a different license and business model. European laws are more benevolent towards sharing economy websites, although Wingly had to leave France for a similar reason.
The platform is well received by both passengers and general aviation pilots. It is probably the best known website of this kind. More than 20,000 verified pilots offer general aviation flights on Wingly, with more than 2,000 possible airfields to start (or end) your journey.
