To manage this demand, FlySafair will implement an online waiting room.
This system randomly allows a few customers onto the site each minute, and an R10 finder tool will be available to help locate available tickets.
Once on the site, customers have a 10-minute window to book their flights.
Can you fly anywhere in South Africa with an R10 FlySafair ticket?
The R10 tickets are valid only for one-way flights on certain domestic routes, specifically excluding international destinations like Mauritius, Zanzibar, Livingstone, Victoria Falls, Maputo, and Harare.
The tickets are applicable for selected flights scheduled between Thursday, 9 May and 30 November 2024.
This limited availability means potential travellers need to act swiftly and be flexible with their travel dates and destinations to take advantage of this offer.
R10 FlySafair ticket terms and conditions explained in simple terms
The terms and conditions of FlySafair’s R10 sale are straightforward but crucial for purchasers to understand:
- Where to Buy: R10 tickets are exclusively available on the FlySafair website. You won’t find these deals on the airline’s mobile app, through their call centre, at airport ticket sales desks, or with any other partner that might sell their tickets.
- Sale Timing and Limits: The sale kicked off at 09:00 on Wednesday, 8 May 2024. It will either end when all 50,000 tickets have been sold or if FlySafair decides to end it sooner. This means the availability of these cheap tickets is very limited and they might sell out quickly.
- Flight Restrictions: The R10 deal is only for one-way tickets on domestic flights within South Africa. This means you can’t use these tickets to fly to international destinations like Mauritius or Harare. Also, the travel dates for these tickets are between Thursday, 9 May and 30 November 2024. Group bookings of 10 or more people and tickets for unaccompanied minors are not available at this price.
- What’s Included: The R10 covers your seat on the plane and all airport taxes. However, it does not include extra services. If you want to check luggage, pick a specific seat, or board the plane early, you will have to pay extra for these services.
- Payment Rules: To secure a ticket, you need to pay the full price during your booking session. This means that even if you select a flight at the R10 rate, it’s not yours until you’ve completed the payment. If someone else finishes paying before you, they get the ticket.
- Online Waiting Room: Because of the high traffic expected on the sale day, FlySafair will use an online waiting room. This system randomly lets people access the site to buy tickets. Once you’re in, you’ll have only 10 minutes to book your flights. If your session expires, you’ll have to go back to the waiting room.
- Refund Policy: Once purchased, R10 tickets cannot be refunded or cancelled. If you need to change something about your flight later, you’ll have to pay any fare differences and penalties.
- Payment Methods: Certain payment options like Pick n Pay, RCS, Mobicred, and Zapper won’t qualify for the R10 offer. You’ll need to use other forms of payment accepted by FlySafair.
- Fair Access: Everyone gets the same chance to buy these tickets. There’s no special access given to anyone, regardless of how often they fly with FlySafair or any other factors.
- Legal and Marketing: By buying an R10 ticket, you agree to receive marketing emails from FlySafair, but you can opt-out at any time. Also, all standard legal terms and conditions for flying with FlySafair apply to these tickets.
