How Wingo refunds generally work
Whether anything comes back turns on who caused the change, since your own cancellation rarely earns a cash refund.
Wingo's tickets are promotional and non-refundable, and it does not apply Colombia's withdrawal right. So cancelling by choice generally returns nothing, there is no free 24-hour cancellation to fall back on. This is the single most important thing to know before you book.
If Wingo cancels or significantly disrupts your flight, you're entitled to a free rebooking within 10 days or a voucher refund, under Colombia's passenger-rights rules. That's a real entitlement, and it's separate from a voluntary cancellation.
A voucher refund is generally issued within 3 to 5 business days and is valid for one year. It's credit toward future Wingo travel, not cash to your card, so plan to use it within the year or it's lost.
Wingo does recognise a bereavement and medical exception: a family member can request a voucher refund by submitting a death certificate, or the passenger via a medical-incapacity certificate. It's a voucher, not a discounted fare, and it's worth asking about in those situations.
Even on a non-refundable fare, taxes and airport charges built into a ticket you don't use may be recoverable. It's usually small, but it's yours, so ask us to include it in any request.
Refund eligibility, method and timing depend on the reason and how the ticket was issued, and Wingo sets them. We never publish amounts, an agent confirms the exact figure and our service fee before anything is charged. You can also request a refund yourself free at wingo.com.
What comes back, by situation
On Wingo, who caused the change matters far more than your fare.
A Wingo voucher is a clock, not cash. When Wingo owes you, it's usually a voucher valid for one year, not money back to your card. If you won't fly Wingo again inside that year, that changes what the voucher is worth to you, so weigh a rebooking against it. Call us and we'll work out which leaves you better off.
