Wingle Cockpit Diaries. Episode 7: Hustle “You guys are hustlers. That’s one of the things that I like most about what you’re doing”. This is what an investor recently told us during a call. And honestly, we love that adjective. We often get asked what being entrepreneurs feels like, what a day in the life looks like… and “hustle” might be just the word that sums it all up. Hustle is waking up every morning and deciding who you will be cold-calling, it’s building the next marketing campaign, it’s shaking off your shyness and recording the next reel, it’s pushing ahead with the next tech integration and app development, it’s thinking about the next move that will allow you to monetize better…. It’s all this and it’s doing it every day, even when you get rejected, when you get no answer or when the great idea doesn’t quite work out right. We’re hustlers. It’s fun, it’s dynamic, it’s exciting. But hustling is also extremely tiring. Today, as we’re writing this, it’s one of those days when energy levels are running a bit low. And this “Cockpit Diaries” felt like the right time to recognize that not every day is a sunny day and how resilience, more than genius ideas, pushes projects forward.

Wingle Cockpit Diaries. Episode 6: Connecting flights Hello and happy Halloween! What’s one of the spookiest travel situations? Picture yourself with an itinerary with several stopovers, 30 min connections and… checked in luggage!! If everything that needs to happen works out fine, you are in for a treat. If something goes slightly wrong, then what a trick… 😉 This month, we’ve been building ourselves an itinerary with Wingle where there are many different moving pieces, many things to do across all fronts and lots of them where we don’t know how they will turn out. But it’s no fun if it’s all smooth sailing, so we’re in for it! Over the coming months we’ll see how this itinerary turns out. Our itinerary takes us across evolutions in the app, new partners and services, a change in our marketing and activations strategy, the first Wingle hire, lots of potential partnerships that will require a great deal of cold calling and pursuing and… a fundraising round! And, as every month, here are the highlights for October! 🤝We attended the World Aviation Festival in Amsterdam in early October as an invited startup. We made new connections with airlines, spoke about Wingle and unlocked new partnerships! 🧠The app has evolved to understand what moment of the travel experience you’re at and offer you the best services for that step of your journey (i.e. airport lounge) 🧳Baggage storage is now available for all Wingle users 📹We’ve evolved our content style in Instagram publications. If you don’t follow us yet, make sure you do on https://lnkd.in/d4nG97Tj 📺We were featured in Mexico’s ADN40 TV news network! https://lnkd.in/dKA6YSdp And also on several IG travel pages with +1M followers! 🧑✈️Miguel Icaza joined Wingle from Miami Ad School to push marketing & activations. Stay tuned for what we'll be launching...

Wingle's biggest FUN FACT? Well, cofounders Pol Quintana and Iñigo Merino were born on the same day of the same year, exactly 30 years ago today!! Where will Wingle be in 30 years?? 🤪

For now, Wingle is only available for European flights... but the news crossed the pond and adn40Mx in Mexico interviewed us yesterday; curious to understand what is Wingle and if Mexico is on the radar! Volaris VivaAerobus Aeromexico let's talk? 😉 https://lnkd.in/dKA6YSdp

🛫 Welcome on board, Miguel Icaza! Coming from Miami Ad School Madrid, Miguel joins Wingle to pilot our advertising and activation strategies, helping us with new ideas to get Wingle to more people and new places! 🌍✈ Get to know Miguel with our quick airplane quiz: Q: Window, aisle or middle seat A: Window, always Q: Chicken or pasta? A: Chicken Q: Airplane drink A: Tomato juice Q: Anecdote on a flight A: Watching two people come out of the toilet together, crazy arguments and once flew next to Granollers and Zeballos (nº1 doubles tennis players) Q: Guilty duty-free pleasure A: Magazine and some local food from the place (yes, I could've bought it for half the price in the city center...)

¿Has conocido a alguna persona a bordo de un avión o en el aeropuerto que haya acabado siendo un pilar para tu vida personal o profesional? Un cliente, alguien que te ofreció trabajo, uno de tus mejores amigos o quizás hasta tu pareja actual. ✈️📋🫶 Wingle es una aplicación móvil que le da un empujoncito a eso, permitiendo chatear a los pasajeros del mismo vuelo. Su co-fundador, Iñigo Merino, nos cuenta cómo Pol Quintana y él crearon el proyecto y cómo funciona su tecnología para comunicarse incluso sin Internet.

What a first couple of days at World Aviation Festival 🙌🏼 in Amsterdam. New contacts, finally putting faces to email messages and getting the Wingle name out there! Last day tomorrow! 1.S6

Wingle Cockpit Diaries. Episode 5: Chicken or Pasta? The launch has been very successful. It's been a huge win and something we’re immensely proud of. But if we want to turn Wingle into the success we envision, this is just the tiny start. We’ve been running like crazy and focusing all our energy the past few months on the launch and initial summer traction, but now that “Phase 1” is over, we’re starting a new one where not only do we need to keep up with momentum, but increase it. And with this new Phase comes the critical question: “Chicken or Pasta?”. Or in other words: Do we keep on doing what we’ve been doing these past months or try something new? Seatback advertising, the “pasta” of our user acquisition, is working very well for us and in a cost effective manner, but it is still quite an expensive channel to keep feeding every month. So as summer comes to an end, as long trips give way to “weekend escapes” and busy cities become the preferred destinations, it’s time to try some “chicken”. And by chicken, we mean more “on the street” activations, promotions, guerrilla actions, competitions… All with the ultimate goal of continuing to build on the traction of these first 3 months and achieving longer engagement with our users. So to the initial question: Chicken or Pasta? Our answer: Chicken with a side of Pasta And, as always, here are the highlights of the month! 💺Wingle is in Iberia Express and Vueling airplanes this month! 000s of pax have met on flights to Amsterdam, Ibiza, Las Palmas, Dublin, London or Rome! 🍸lounge access, compensations in case of flight delays and new experiences are now available for all Wingle users to make the flight and travel experience more enjoyable! 📰we’re featured in Conde Nast Traveler! 👩✈Wingle’s Pilot program is out!
