About Wingly and flight sharing
Wingly is a platform that connects you with private pilots, offering you the opportunity to experience flights on a cost-sharing basis while sharing their passion for flying. This allows you to discover the world from a unique bird’s-eye view together with the pilots. Whether it’s a breathtaking scenic flight over your city or a relaxing getaway to the coast, Wingly helps you find the perfect flight for unforgettable experiences!
Flights take place in small aircraft with up to six people on board, including the pilot.
The price of a shared-cost flight consists of the direct flight costs (including fuel, aircraft rental, landing fees, etc.), VAT, and Wingly service fees. The cost varies depending on the specific flight. These costs are equally shared between the pilot and the passengers on board. Here you can find an article that explains the cost-sharing in detail.
In addition, Wingly Pro, launched in 2020, offers flights operated by commercial partners.
