Pre-booking seats<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can choose a seat during flight booking and have an option for extra legroom should you wish. Payment is by credit card, and seats are limited, so book early. If you don\u2019t pre-book, your seat will be assigned at check-in.<\/p>\n

Unaccompanied Minors<\/strong><\/p>\n

FlySafair offers an Unaccompanied Minors service for children aged 5\u201311 travelling without an adult. The service costs R780 per child, per flight segment, in addition to the standard adult airfare.<\/p>\n

FlySafair staff assist your child from check-in through boarding, provide support during the flight and hand them over to the nominated guardian at their destination. Children aged 12 and older can travel alone without this service, on an adult fare.<\/p>\n

How to book<\/p>\n

Arrange the service directly through FlySafair\u2019s unaccompanied minor booking portal. Confirm availability and the required documents before finalising your child\u2019s travel.<\/p>\n

Documents and airport arrival<\/p>\n

Your child must carry their original birth certificate or a certified copy certified within the past three months. The adults dropping off and collecting your child must bring their original ID or driver\u2019s licence. The collecting guardian also needs the collection slip issued at check-in.<\/p>\n

FlySafair recommends arriving at least 90 minutes before departure for this service. Follow the check-in and boarding instructions provided with your booking.<\/p>\n

Information checked on 5 October 2026. Airline fees and requirements may change.<\/p>\n

Pets<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cats and dogs can travel on eligible FlySafair flights through BidAir Cargo PetLounge.<\/strong> Pets travel in the aircraft hold, rather than the passenger cabin, and their transport must be booked separately.<\/p>\n

Booking and travel requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arrange your pet\u2019s transport through PetLounge<\/a>. Confirm route availability, costs and any breed restrictions before booking your own flight.<\/p>\n

Your pet must travel in an IATA-approved crate<\/strong> large enough to stand, turn and lie down comfortably. Bring the required documents, including vaccination records, booking confirmation, a completed Shipper\u2019s Declaration and your ID. For domestic flights, arrive at the PetLounge 2\u00bd hours before departure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Service dogs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Approved service dogs may travel with their owners free of charge, subject to FlySafair\u2019s requirements and supporting documentation. Arrangements must be completed at least 48 hours before departure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
