Contact a pilot before booking

How do I contact a pilot before booking a flight?

It's easy to contact a pilot before booking your flight. Here's how:

1. Go to the page of the flight you are interested in.
   
2. Scroll down to the “Meet your pilot...” section.
   
3. Click on the “Contact” button.

This will allow you to send a message directly to the pilot via our instant messaging system. Once the message has been sent, you can follow the conversation in the “Messages” tab of your account. You'll be able to discuss the pilot's availability, or any customization of the flight (duration, itinerary, fare).

Why should I contact a pilot before booking?

You can confirm his availability for the flight. You can customize the flight to suit your preferences.

​Once you have made your booking and the pilot has confirmed it, you and the pilot will have access to your personal details to finalise the details of the flight. This will also enable you to receive information on the weather in the days leading up to your flight, as well as confirmation that it will take place.

If you would like any further information or if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us directly at hello@wingly.io We will be happy to assist you from Monday to Friday 8.30 am to 5.30 pm.
