‘We understand that things have changed since we last took to the skies – which is why we’ve adapted our travel experience from the ground up to make the “new normal” as easy for you as possible. Here is what you need to know when flying kulula,’ the airline says.
‘We will be optimising our schedule as we ramp up operations and gradually return aircraft to service from mid-January to June 2021. We will start with a reduced fleet and as the demand increases, we aim to have a full schedule by June 2021. If you are travelling to or from Lanseria, or between Durban and Cape Town we recommend that you read up on our ‘Affected by schedule and flight changes.’
Kulula.com is one of the airlines operated by Comair.
The airline is also encouraging contactless engagement to minimise the risk of spreading COVID-19.
- Use your smart device to check-in online before flying. Online check-in not only comes with the added benefit of saving time, but you can avoid long queues and contact with check-in agents to reduce the risk of contracting an infectious illness. Find out more about the kulula online check-in process when flying the green machine.
- Use an electronic boarding pass to avoid handling paper which could become contaminated with germs. At kulula, you can enjoy a paperless journey when checking-in online.
British Airways, operated by Comair flights, can be booked by contacting the British Airways’ contact centre on +27 11 921 0222 or on ba.com ahead of your planned take off on December 9, 2020. Regional routes will also be re-introduced over time.
