LIFT is a classic low-cost airline that does not offer guaranteed connecting flights and the basic price is only a minimum of services.

When to buy tickets

The best way to buy tickets is directly on the carrier's website lift.co.za.

It is generally worth buying tickets around 2-5 weeks in advance. Even at the relatively last minute before departure, you will often find very good fares.

As LIFT has competition from other airlines (mainly Airlink and FlySafair) on many routes, it is worth comparing prices via flight comparators.
