Understanding how the price of a flight is determined
The pilots of the Wingly community are private pilots who offer to share the costs associated with the flight with you. They do not provide a commercial service and do not make any profit. Pilots are not employees of Wingly. They are real enthusiasts who fly in their free time and wish to share their passion. Their only goal is to share the cost of the flight with you. Therefore as a passenger, you only pay your share in proportion to the total cost of the flight and the pilot also participates in the cost of the flight.
Fixed price per passenger
The total price of the flight is divided according to the number of seats available in the aircraft. Therefore the price per passenger is fixed and does not depend on the number of passengers booking the flight.
