FlySafair Manage your flight booking with FlySafair’s new WhatsApp functionality

-

Low-cost carrier FlySafair continues to improve on its seamless travel experience with the launch of new features within its WhatsApp business account. This newly enhanced WhatsApp functionality allows passengers to search for their booking and check-in for their flight directly within the messaging app.



“The new WhatsApp features are just some of the many ways we are constantly looking to create a frictionless travel experience from booking to arrival,” says Kirby Gordon, Chief Marketing Officer at FlySafair. “By adding these new services, we’re able to offer our passengers more choice when it comes to their journey.”

Gordon went on to say that FlySafair’s WhatsApp booking management features would be useful for those in areas where connectivity is low and the chance of the website or app timing out as a result is high.

“Where internet access proves to be less reliable, passengers can bypass the website and app to easily search their flight details and check-in via WhatsApp, ensuring complete peace of mind before arriving at the airport.”


To access the WhatsApp services, passengers can send a message to the FlySafair business account on 087 357 0030. A simple “Hi” will bring up a menu with different options. Passengers can select option 2 for check-in and by following the prompts will receive their boarding pass via the messaging app. To review a booking, select option 1 and follow the message prompts to pull up the flight details.

In the next couple of weeks, passengers will also be able to add a bag to an existing booking and buy a food voucher through the messaging app. These new features build on the airline’s existing suite of WhatsApp services, which include the sending of boarding passes after check-in via the website or app, as well as direct messaging capabilities with the airline’s customer service agents.

  How can we grow young female entrepreneurship in South Africa? By Linda McClure, Raizcorp COO South Africa, like many countries globally, grapples with the challenge of  youth unemployment . This is supported by statistics indicating a 45,5% unemployment rate among young individuals (aged 15-34 years), in contrast to the national average of 32,9% in the first quarter of 2024. It’s clear, though, that the struggle continues for many South African women – specifically in the area of small business and entrepreneurship. According to the World Bank, Africa boasts the highest growth rate of female-run businesses in the world. But down on the southernmost tip of the continent, women are still in the minority when it comes to entrepreneurship. While more than half of South Africa’s population is female, only 38% of SMEs are women owned and led. Despite these benefits and the potential of entrepreneurship to improve the socio-economic empowerment of  women in South Africa, ...
