Agents can book LIFT flights for their clients, but they should be aware that, for the remainder of August, a promotion is running where LIFT has partnered with Uber to enable passengers to book a premium airport pick-up with an hour of wait time included in their fare.
Riders can reserve a trip up to 30 days before their flight and can cancel their trip request free of charge up to one hour before the scheduled time. The feature also conveniently includes flight tracking integration that automatically adjusts the reservation time based on flight information to help make sure that the driver is ready and waiting at the airport when the flight lands, whether it’s on time, early or delayed.
Passengers who book and fly with LIFT can save up to 40% on the cost of their trips to and from selected airports pre-booked using the Uber app. They will receive a promotional code sent by LIFT, that will provide the rider with an amount off the cost of up to two rides to/from the arrival and departure airports.
Airport Reserve is available on Uber Black and Uber Comfort at Cape Town International Airport, and Johannesburg’s OR Tambo and Lanseria airports.
“LIFT continues to focus on technology to improve our passengers' experience throughout the travel journey. This is why LIFT is working with Uber on the launch of its brand-new Airport Reserve product, offering travellers an even easier and more affordable way to get to and from the airport,” says Jonathan Ayache, CEO of LIFT Airlines.
“We’re thrilled to be working with Uber. LIFT and Uber have a lot in common; both flexible brands trying to make travel easy for consumers, and this offering seamlessly completes trips door-to-door,” adds Ayache.
For other online booking options besides car hire, since November LIFT Experiences has been on offer. Since its launch, travellers have been able to not only go on holiday but also get to try out activities and excursions, from kayaking and mountain biking to archaeological cave tours on the beach and guided walks.
