Ever wished you could get the business class experience without the business class ticket?

On this episode of Plain and Simple, we chat with Iñigo Merino, co-founder of Wingle, an app on a mission to make your entire travel day more comfortable. What started as a clever way to chat with fellow passengers offline has evolved into a powerful tool for every traveller.

Tune in for a deep dive into:

• The Challenge of Airlines: Why is the aviation industry so "close-knit" and difficult for newcomers to break into? Iñigo shares his early struggles and the realisation that Wingle had to be completely independent of airline support to succeed.

• Wingle Pass Explained: What if you could access airport lounges, fast-track security, and even a "Land and Laundry" service from a single app? We walk through how Wingle Pass works to aggregate the fragmented world of airport services.

• The Future of In-Flight Tech: Discover the surprising new use case for Wingle's offline technology: helping airline crews streamline in-flight service for business class passengers by sending orders directly from the seat to the galley.

• The Airport Ritual: Iñigo shares his personal obsession with optimising his airport journey, including his record time for clearing security at Madrid Airport: an incredible 25 seconds.

• Aviation Hot Takes: Is Singapore's Changi Airport overrated? Iñigo shares his unpopular opinion on why its security setup and lounge offerings (for non-Singapore Airlines flyers) don't live up to the hype.

We find out Iñigo's dream airline partnership, his favourite aircraft for nostalgic reasons, and which celebrity he'd pick as a Wingle Ambassador.
