A question that hovers every time a new aerol appearsínea or way to fly in the market, ¿cóhow to fly with Wingo or low cost?
The answer is más fáeasier than they think. Many times users or passengers think than an aerosolínea low cost (Low cost) brings with it a negative or complicated flight experience, but if youú you are one of those potential clients, déI want to tell you that it is not like thatí, you just have to read the texts very welléterms and conditions, fare restrictions, whaté includes and what not. If you do that and plan your luggage and trip very well, will not haveás problem and experience beá máyes how good, I recommend itás, you will want to repeat it, but above all, hornbeamás saved a good amount of money.
ticket purchase
In my úlast vacation in Colombia, which reportedé partly because Twitter e Instagram, take advantageé Wingo promotions to fly from Quito to Bogotá. The sale of tickets on this airlineíparticular area, takes place úsolely and exclusively for its página web y call center, there being no other means of purchase asístill be global GDS like Despegar or others. In Bogotáá and Panamaá yes I canás buy the ticket directly at the airport, but only in those two places. His páThe website is very friendly for purchasing and during the entire process there are no complications. His páThe website is responsive and works on all devices and browsers, which makes the purchase seamless and the transactionón, in my case with credit cardédito is carried out without problems.
Apart from credit cardéhere tooéYou can't make the purchase with special cardsíyou stay from Colombia as Effective points or Dimonex, más cash payment only in Colombia in Exito, Carulla and Surti Max. Recently the aerosolíI don't incorporateó new méall paid for the Ecuadorian market.
Additional services
The égood luck buying at a low cost, is that you only pay for what you need, that's why the aerosolínea offers several additional services, these are:
- Luggage in hold
- Row ráask for check-in at the airport.
- Check-in at the airport in case you cannot do it online.
- Choose a seat at check-in, but the system will assign youá one.
- Select chairs with más spaces.
- bring a pet.
- Carrying musical instruments or sports equipment.
- Buy an additional chair.
Luggage, very important
Wingo differs from other low cost for the comfort in terms of luggage, since at no extra cost and for the base rate you can take 1 handbag, backpack or purse up to 6 kilos AND 1 carry-on bag up to 10 kilos with measurements máAllowed maximums of 55x45x25cm linear. These are altogether 16 kilos, what if you distribute it well for the díAce of your trip, veráI know it's meás that enough, yo yoursé 5 días and I had extra kilos to carry, así that with this is más that enough.
Despite this, if you neededún más weight, an extra suitcase 20 kilos in the warehouse has a value of only USD25 when buying on the web and USD30 if you do it at the airport. I could see that many people choose this option.ón, even i boughté this additional service to bring an extra suitcase from Bogotá, what they were in total 36 kilos, for a passage of USD184 + USD25 of the extra suitcase, total USD209 per person. If we compare with aerosolítraditional lines on the same route, this value increases starting at USD400 upwards and almost without a limit.
Check-In
If you don't want to pay más, Don't forget to do your checkupágina web de 48 hours to 4 hours before your flight. If you do it at the airport you will haveá a cost of USD15, like if you lose the sheet with your pass on board.
Airport and Boarding
Wingo for mí It was a normal experience, as it is in air callsítraditional lines, an airport service isándar and nothing different from any aerosolínea.
Boarding is the same as on any airlineíecuadorian nea, but it is not done by groups orúgroup of chairs, It is a massive shipment with preference úonly for whoménes paid for the service, minors, elderly and pregnant mothers, normal, ¿TRUE?
On board
The difference to legacy airlines, comes aboard. ¿You didn't eat before the flight or you got hungry? On board you have a varied menu of food and normal drinks or alcohol.ólogics starting everyone in USD3. Potato chips, sánduches and even macaroni and cheese are options. Of drinks there are juices, soft drinks, water and even personal bottles of vodka or whiskey.
In flight
Another difference with Wingo isá in their environmentás relaxed during boarding and flight, but always with the heightsástandards that the industry dictates and demands. For instance, when you start the trailer during normal security announcements, the crewón mentions that it is time to «take the última selfie» and put the equipment in avi modeón, different and entertaining for passengers.
The other detail that stands out is that when landing, during the announcements it is indicated that we must celebrate that we arrived at the destination, producing immediate applause from the majorityíto passengers, an event that few airílines or people carry out.
Concludedón
Fly with Wingo, what is low cost, It is very similar to flying with any airplaneítraditional market line. Several people have asked me about the experience and possible difficulties and I have helped them clarify that flying low cost does not have to beé be a bad experience. Just don't forget to read the famous «small letter», have a scale on hand so you don't go over a kilo and calculate carefully what clothes to wearás.
Flying with them is normal, nothing different and there is nothing to be scared of. I recommend flying low cost.
Soon to followé telling about my vacation in Colombia ;).

Hello, I would like to check carefully about the luggage, it is still not clear to me, measurements and weight from Bogotá to San Andrés, And if in the purchase I select goplus what luggage am I entitled to?.
Thanks a lot
Hello Caroline, When selecting each rate you will be able to see what each one includes in terms of luggage and its limitations plus sizes.
I see many inconsistencies and dissatisfied people afraid of risking money and damaging connection schedules on flights
Unfortunately in current times it is a possibility that the itineraries change due to all the restrictions.
I have a question, I want to fly the 30 December to Ecuador, but I only want to buy the one-way ticket, Is it possible or they ask me to enter Ecuador?
Of course it is possible, but depending on your immigration status, they could request your return ticket.
If I return from San Andres to Bogota, according to the hand luggage policy and 12kg I can take bottles of liquor or perfumes, but they do not indicate the amount or ml allowed per bag, I appreciate clarifying
Be aware that in hand luggage there are limits to pass liquids.
Good, I have doubts, The first time I travel by plane I am Colombian but I am in Ecuador I want to travel these days and I saw the wingo airline, flights from Quito to Bogota depart, I want to know if the date and time of the flight that one chooses is reliable and not later they are telling me that they cancel it, Well, since we are in the pandemic, I have to take the covid test and that has a certain time limit, I want to know if the flight from Quito to Bogotá is totally reliable on the day I choose for the trip? And be sure that I don't come up with stories after they cancel my trip because I have to travel 8 hours until I quit to start the flight I await your response thank you….
I have flown with them, I have not had delays in their operations, but watch out for delays, delays and cancellations can occur with any airline.
We have already validated with the payment gateway and you are the ones who have the money and have not returned it, when will they do it
You should talk to the airline, here is not your money.
Hello, a question I travel every 3 months but it is the 1st time for wingo and I want to try to see if it is better for me since I travel a lot. Get away from my purse and my suitcase 10 kg. I can carry a bag of gifts in my hand. It is k that is normal in all the airlines but since it seems to me that they put so many buts to this airline I need to know.
If you carry a third item, which in this case would be the gifts, they would charge you as an additional item.
Hello, can you tell me if Wingo is punctual in flight schedules in departure and arrival times.
Hello, I have a trip with wingo and I paid for a suitcase 20 kg of 158 linear cm but the suitcase I have exceeds the dimensions, the one I have is 162 do you think they charge me ?
Good question, I would think that as long as you are within the weight that you paid, No problem, but it's better to heal to the sane.
Liquor can be carried in hand luggage?? And how much volume is it allowed??
No, unless you buy the liquor at the duty free shop.
Good evening, I bought a ticket, Quito, Bogota, and they sent me a letter code by mail, but no itinerary. My question, that takes time. ? the payment was by credit card from ecuador
With the reservation code you can check your itinerary on the airline's website.
Hello there, thank you for your post it has been very useful. Soon I will travel by Wingo from Colombia to Cancun. And I have a question about the suitcase, since I see that on the wingo page they specify the size of the 10k suitcase and give an example of one with wheels. I always travel with a machila 40 liters. My question is how do I know that my backpack adapts to the demands of wingo suitcases or if I should pay for an additional suitcase to be able to carry it or how would the suitcase be by liters and not by kilos?.
Thanks!!
The suitcase must comply with the maximum hand or hold sizes, if it exceeds, you must pay the value.
Good Morning, I will travel by wingo soon, I have doubts about whether it is possible to carry computer components in luggage, like motherboard.? Or those types of items should be carried as hand luggage?
It's like carrying a camera, better take it in hand luggage.
I would like to know if traveling through Wingo I can carry putty and paint for cars in my checked baggage. Thanks
Hello there, paint are prohibited items, since it is flammable, I recommend you check directly with the airline.
Buenas tardes, excuse me. It is the first time that I will fly in Wingo and in fact that I will travel by plane. I have a question regarding the flight ticket. I made the payment in cash at Éxito stores, I downloaded the payment receipt and they gave me some transaction vouchers, when, How and where do I get the flight or boarding tickets?. What is the step to follow to be calm. Thanks for your help
The next step is to do web check in on the airline's website with the reservation code.
It is true that in Cancun and in Mexico City , they give him despotic treatment , And they even detain Colombian and Venezuelan passengers for up to three days in immigration and then return them to their countries.?
If you have the proofs, post them.
Hi, I'm thinking of traveling to Wingo and I wanted to know if I can carry a desktop computer in my checked bag
of power you can, But personally, I do not recommend you, could be damaged by the treatment of them.
Outrageous they charge 35 thousand per person for not having a printed boarding pass, It is unfortunate, this does not happen with Avianca latam or copa. To others for an additional suitcase without 90 thousand. When I pay for latam 65 thousand. They are thiefs. takes advantage of tourists
That's why it's low cost, because you pay what you need and if you use the system well, you save, not the airline's fault.
Hello there, I am considering flying with this airline, from mexico to bogota, but it really worries me that they will cancel, Even if they are isolated cases, it would not have to happen, they completely ruined my vacation, please comment a cancellation percentage for each purchase.
I don't have that data, I don't know if it exists. It can happen to you on any airline, even the largest in the world.
Hi, I have a question. Wingo allows you to use your phone in airplane mode to make videos during takeoff, flight and landing the truth I would like to know if not to get me a camcorder
Honestly, I don't remember this specific issue of the flight, but it should be in Airplane Mode that is allowed.
Hi how are things, there will already be flights between Guayaquil and Bogotá???
Thanks
Yeah right.
Buenas tardes, I would like you to help me because I don't get the option to buy tickets for the month of November of the current year.
I appreciate your prompt collaboration..
The airline opens the quotas 3 months before.
Hello hello , I want to know something a person is going to buy the flight for me with your credit card , but I don't know what documents to ask for on the day of the flight or if that person must be present with their card, please help
Each airline has its policies, but when in doubt, better show up at the airport with a copy of the buyer's credit card and identification.
Hi, I want to travel to Bogota from Venezuela.. I would like to know if here in Venezuela I can go to the airport and clear my doubts regarding the trip
I recommend you do it through their social networks.
good morning i have a question. They are going to buy me a flight to Venezuela- bogota but since the person resides in chile they will use their VISA credit card, when I have to present my ticket I will not have problems? It is not necessary for the person to have to validate the payment with the credit card?
and second, after buying the ticket you do not have to pay anything additional at the airport before leaving?
Usually, you don't have to pay anything else, but check with the airline, since there are still airports where you have to pay the departure tax directly. There is no problem if they buy your ticket with a card from another country.
Buying from Mexico at Wingo with a Mastercard credit card, can you buy in installments??
You can buy it up to date and then call your card to defer it in installments.
Hello there…. I travel with my daughter 2 years and my husband… it is our first international flight (from Colombia to Mexico) and I have many doubts.

2. To do web-chek in I must print the pass on a laser printer?.
3. How much is the ideal amount (of money) What do I have to show so that they let me pass migration without problems?. I can do it with a credit card?.
I appreciate you can help me.
The 1. they give it to you on the plane. 2. It doesn't have to be laser. 3. You must not give money, Never, in migration.
Hello good!. I made the payment for a flight this morning and I just received an email canceling it without too many explanations. It just says that I will refund the money in 30 days!. you know what can be done?. I need to have that money for another ticket. Thanks
Really, Nothing can be done. you have to wait for the 30 days.
How sad this is not safe then, I have planned to attend a wedding, being an airline does not work then with the comments that I read
It was a specific case of the other passenger, It does not mean that it will happen to you or that it will happen to everyone.
Hello Goodnight, I would like to know, flight Caracas Bogota, Can I carry a carry-on bag and a backpack?, On the way back I bring an oversized baggage that I cancel at the Bogotá airport, certain, do you happen to know the cost??
Yes, you can take a carry-on bag and backpack. The oversized you pay in Bogotá, You can find the cost on their website.
When Venezuela cut off relations with Panama I couldn't travel through Copa, I had no other option and I decided to travel with Wingo, you have to pay if you take two suitcases, you have to pay per seat as if they gave you the possibility of traveling standing still, they do not let you enter the cabin with two pieces of luggage, that is, you cannot take your wallet and a notebook, on the flight they do not give you a free glass of water and to finish when you land they ask you to adjust the seat belts crosswise for the next passengers….at that moment I thought it will be that they are also going to request that I clean the bathrooms.
They justify themselves with the fact that it is a Low Cost let's see: flights Caracas-Bogotá-Caracas price $ 698,60 Is this the price of a Low Cost for a flight of 1 hour??????? With a little more money, I traveled to Buenos Aires on a flight from 6 hours 30.
Draw your own conclusions next time if I have no other option I prefer to walk.
Hello Liliana, the issue of the cost between Caracas and Bogotá goes through an issue of supply, there is only 2 airlines flying on a high demand route, for more low cost, the price, given the limited supply, will be high. about luggage, All this is indicated at the time of purchase, I did not know that they already charge for choosing a seat.
Thanks for your comment.
I have an English bulldog can I take it in the cabin?
Yes, but I recommend you check with the airline for availability and conditions.
Hello, I have problems printing my boarding pass because I don't know what it is.. Are 2 people to travel then you would have to print 4 times (2 back and forth 2 back)??? They sent me to my email 1 that says flight reservation and the 2nd. Is the number of the flight the time of arrival. please help me
You must first do the web check-in to be able to print the pass.
hello, I plan to travel with my saxophone, Is it necessary to pay for the service of transporting instruments or can I simply occupy the space of the suitcases that I am allowed?
Very good question, if you are not going to use your suitcase, in theory, could you use that space. I recommend you consult it directly to avoid bad moments.
hello, the payment is safe??
Of course.
Little say little…After they confirmed the transaction and the reservation, they sent me a message to the 8:40pm canceling the reservation….and I have to wait between 10 and 15 days to buy tickets again... I'm making this trip to make my daughter with a disability dream come true and now I don't have money to make another reservation….??
Hi Claudia, what a pity your experience. What was the reason why your reservation was canceled??
what a good data. But I have a question, yes for hand luggage I have a suitcase that measures high 59 cm instead of 55 cm I have to pay more or it happens without problem?
Hello there, it's a posibility, but I recommend you not to take risks. It is not necessary that they measure your suitcase so exactly, but better not take risks.
HOLa! Were you able to pass the 58cms suitcase? I have the same doubt
