Recent Traveller Feedback
Booked the cheapest Go fare with Wingo from Bogota to Medellin and did not realize until I got to the airport that this fare only includes a personal backpack under the seat and does not come with a standard cabin bag for the overhead locker, so I had to pay about 80 thousand Colombian pesos at the gate just to bring my rolling suitcase on board the plane.
80000 COP
Flew Wingo from Cartagena to Cali on the Go Standard fare and it worked out really well because the price includes both a 10 kilogram personal backpack measuring 40 x 35 x 25 centimetres under the seat plus one 12 kilogram cabin bag of 55 x 45 x 25 centimetres for the overhead bin, which was more than enough for my long weekend trip.
Booked the Go Plus fare on Wingo for my flight from Barranquilla to Santa Marta and it was totally worth it because the price included one checked bag weighing up to 23 kilograms, so I could pack all my beach clothes and snorkelling gear without worrying about going overweight or paying extra fees at the airport.
Went through security at El Dorado International Airport in Bogota before my Wingo flight to Pereira and the standard 100 millilitre liquid rule applied just like everywhere else, so I kept all my toiletries in a clear plastic bag and everything passed through the security checkpoint completely smoothly with no delays at all.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the carry on size and weight limit for Wingo?
If your Wingo fare includes a carry on bag then the maximum dimensions are 55 x 45 x 25 centimetres including wheels and handles, and the 45 centimetre width is noticeably wider than the standard 40 centimetre limit used by most other airlines so it can fit bulkier bags more easily.
The maximum weight for the cabin bag is 12 kilograms, which is slightly heavier than the standard 10 kilogram limit used by many other low cost carriers in Europe and Latin America.
It is very important to remember that the cheapest Go fare does not include a standard carry on bag for the overhead bin at all, and you only get a personal backpack that fits under the seat on that ticket type.
Does the cheapest Wingo fare include a carry on bag?
No, the cheapest Go fare on Wingo does not include a standard carry on bag for the overhead locker, and passengers with that fare can only bring one personal backpack that must fit completely under the seat in front of them.
If you book the Go fare and want to bring a rolling suitcase or larger bag for the overhead bin you have to pay extra for it either online before your flight or at the boarding gate, and gate fees are usually much more expensive than booking in advance.
Many travellers find that upgrading from Go to the Go Standard fare works out better value than adding a carry on bag separately, so it is always worth comparing both options before you complete your booking.
How much checked baggage comes with each Wingo fare type?
Both the Go fare and the Go Standard fare on Wingo do not include any free checked baggage at all, and you have to pay extra if you want to check a suitcase into the cargo hold on your flight.
The Go Plus fare includes one free checked bag weighing up to 23 kilograms, and the maximum total linear dimension for each checked bag is 158 centimetres just like on most other airlines around the world.
You can purchase up to three checked bags per passenger on Wingo flights either online through the website or at the airport, and buying in advance is almost always much cheaper than waiting to pay on the day of travel.
What size and weight is the personal item on Wingo?
Every passenger on every Wingo fare gets one free personal item that goes under the seat, and the maximum dimensions for this item are 40 x 35 x 25 centimetres with a maximum weight of 10 kilograms, which is quite generous compared to many other low cost airlines.
Common examples of acceptable personal items include a small backpack, laptop bag, handbag or briefcase, and as long as the item stays within the official size and weight limit it is always included for free no matter which fare type you book.
This personal backpack is the only free baggage you get on the cheapest Go fare, so a lot of budget travellers pack very carefully and try to fit everything they need into a good quality under seat backpack that meets the 10 kilogram limit.
Is it cheaper to buy baggage online or at the airport with Wingo?
It is almost always significantly cheaper to buy your extra baggage online through the Wingo website before your flight rather than waiting to pay for it at the airport or the boarding gate, and gate fees in particular can be two or three times higher than the online pre booking price.
You can add carry on baggage or checked bags to an existing booking up until a few hours before your flight departs, and the price usually goes up the closer you get to your departure date so booking early saves the most money.
Because Wingo is a low cost airline the base ticket price is kept very low on purpose, and baggage fees are one of the main ways the airline makes additional revenue so it is always best to plan ahead and add exactly what you need online in advance.
