- Hand Luggage Only: The fare includes only a single piece of hand luggage, typically up to 7 kg.
- VAT Included: The base fare and VAT are included in the ticket price.
- Seat Assignment: A seat will be assigned to you, but selecting a specific seat may incur an additional fee.

Tokens include VAT but exclude airport taxes and any additional services.
Tokens are non-transferable between accounts and must be redeemed online via the FlySafair website or app.
Any unused tokens will be forfeited after one year.
Additionally, if you miss a flight, you lose the token and any associated payments.
Bookings using tokens cannot be cancelled or refunded unless FlySafair changes the flight schedule.
