Create and send a customised flight from the Wingly messenger

Posting a flight through the Wingly messenger is a feature that will allow you to easily create a flight on demand for a passenger. Instead of having to create a flight and making it public on the platform (where any passenger would be able to book), this flight will be private, so it can only be viewed by those who have the link. This feature is used for two scenarios: either with a flight request, or when a passenger directly contacts a pilot with a specific flight in mind. The same cost calculations and rules apply. The only difference here is that passengers are automatically sent a link to payment and so the flight will be automatically accepted for you when payment is made. 

Step 1. Go into your Wingly messenger inbox and the conversation with a passenger that has expressed intent in wanting to fly with you.  

Step 2. Click the "Create flight" button on the left side of the text box.

Step 3. Fill in the flight details, and add a custom message if required.

When your passenger books the flight and makes a payment, you will be notified via email and this flight will directly appear in your booked flight list. 

If you have any questions, you can contact us directly at tower@wingly.io or by phone on +447708405306. We are available from Monday to Friday from 8:30 to 17:30.
