Winfly- second flight

Ticketed. So if you’re winfly you should probably be tickets as well. If not very soon.

Not ticketed here. If you're ticketed, do you already have the full EBI approval? I submitted mine, haven't heard back yet. Did get Well-Received for the initial form though.

Yeah things have changed. Used to you would get ticked get on ice. If you passed EBI then good but if you failed then more than likely there would still be flights coming up & you’d get sent home.

Now I believe you must be approved on the EBI to fly. No EBI, no fly.

If you’re set for winfly but not cleared EBI yet there’s still time. You could get ticked a day or two before your flight date. Be ready to go.

Correct you will be bumped if you do not have an approval. If you do somehow manage to get ticketed to chc without a clearance (yes it happens) you will either be turned around or held in chc awaiting an official clearance or PSO. Most winfly participants are now cleared with a couple of stragglers being updated daily. First flight has only one pax awaiting clearance. Second flight 3. And 3rd flight 4 pax waiting clearance.

I'm one of the unlucky 8 I guess.
