Good evening, I need to know, What are the weekly flights from Guayaquil to Colombia?, made which cities they travel. Furthermore, the costs.
This post indicates the itineraries and schedules. You can find the rest of the destinations on the airline's website..
I found Wingo to be an excellent airline., very good being a Low Cost type…. I have had the opportunity to travel 2 times with them (Aruba y cancun) and I'm going for the third time to curaçao… and I haven't had any problems. waiting for them to expand the fleet, why already with 2 years and a half of operation, they only have 4 Planes.
They are new to the market in terms of brand, They must be cautious with their growth and it is demonstrated in their strategy, They do not take a step without being sure that it will be a success.
