Passenger-Focused Service
LIFT is redefining airline customer service with hassle-free changes, instant refunds, and a crew that goes the extra mile. From the moment you book to the second you land, expect top-notch service, premium comfort, and a seamless travel experience. With awards for Best Cabin Crew in Southern Africa, it’s clear that flying LIFT isn’t just about getting from A to B—it’s about enjoying the journey.
Award-winning Excellence
LIFT Airlines has earned multiple accolades, including, Best Low-Cost Airline in Africa, Best Domestic Airline in Africa – World Luxury Travel Awards 2024, Best Cabin Crew in Southern Africa and Best New Airline Brand in South Africa.
LIFT has already made quite a household name for itself with its campaign in garnering fellow South Africans to come up with a name for the airline. Their A320 planes are taking to the skies with daily flights between Cape Town and Johannesburg.
Spearheaded by Global Aviation, Kulula.com founder Gidon Novick, and ex-Uber executive Jonathan Ayache, LIFT has forged a strong team of industry experts coupled with years of experience to bring a unique and trendy offering to South African travellers.
What really sets LIFT apart is its fully-flexible ticket option, allowing you free changes and cancellations up to 24 hours before departure with no penalties (price difference may apply). Should you need to cancel your flight for any reason, your money will be fully refunded into your LIFT Wallet for the next time you fly - easy as that!
Unlimited Free Flexibility - LIFT Economy: If you change flights outside of 24 hours prior to departure time‚ you won't incur any admin or penalty fees. Please note that a fare difference may apply. If the new flight is more expensive‚ you’ll have to pay the difference‚ and if it's cheaper‚ LIFT will refund the balance to your LIFT Wallet. Please note that changes made within 24 hours before the departure time will incur a standard rebooking fee (as well as a possible difference in fare).
Unlimited Free Flexibility - LIFT Premium: LIFT doesn’t charge any penalty or admin fees for cancellations‚ flight changes or name changes made to a Premium ticket made outside of ONE HOUR before departure! You may have to cover a difference in fare for changed flights. If the new flights are more expensive than your original journey‚ you'll need to pay the difference.
Not only has LIFT given its customers peace of mind with flexible tickets, but they are keeping it trendy too, kitted out by one of South Africa’s top online retailers.
LIFT ensures it is a step ahead in making air travel easier and less stressful for all its customers by giving you complete control of your travels when you need it most.
