Fly as a person with reduced mobility

Whether you can participate in a Wingly flight with limited mobility depends on the type of aircraft.

For certain models, such as low-wing aircraft, you need to climb over the wing to enter the plane, which can make it difficult for people with limited mobility to get on board.

However, with high-wing aircraft, such as the Cessna 172, the entry is generally easier and more accessible.

To ensure everything goes smoothly, please keep the following points in mind:

1. Contact the pilot in advance through the "Contact" button on the flight page to discuss your needs and find out if flying with them is possible. Here’s a guide on how to contact pilots before booking.

1. It’s helpful to have an accompanying person who can assist you with boarding the aircraft.
