We flew Business Class to Cape Town on Lift Premium
Lift Airline has fast become our ultimate way to travel to Cape Town and we guarantee once you fly with them, you’ll never look back. On our most recent trip we decided to try out Lift Premium which is the equivalent business class flight to Cape Town.
‘Eventful’ does not quite cover the flight experience, the planes are brand spanking new, sparkling clean and the service cannot be beaten from booking online to the airport check-in to the in-flight experience.
What we love most about Lift is the fact they offer Premium Class option which is basically First Class in our opinion, just without the shower.
But be warned once you fly Lift Premium you won’t want to travel any other way. Your travel experience will forever be enhanced.
Here are our highlights:
1. Seamless online booking
Booking your flight with Lift is so easy you don’t even have to select an option because there is only one. That’s right they only fly from Johannesburg to Cape Town and from Cape Town back to Johannesburg. Select your date and preferred time and voila. You’ll receive an sms reminder pre and post flight. Furthermore if you need to change your booking you can because of their flexibility feature. This ensures no change penalties or cancellation fees. You’re able to cancel online and get an instant refund direct to your Lift wallet.
2. Check-in under four minutes
Not only is the yellow Lift branding uber cool and trendy but it stands out in the airport. You’ll have no problem finding the counter. Now because you are flying business class to Cape Town on Lift Premium, you have an exclusive queue just for you. Both times we flew there was no more than a two minute wait, and to check in another two minutes. From start to finish the service on this airline is world-class and don’t forget to take advantage of the access to the business class lounge with your Premium ticket. Winning!
3. Five-star cabin and seat experience
On Lift Premium the first few rows are specially allocated for Premium flyers only. This means you are ensured your very own private tray table and a reclining window or aisle seat for optimum space and comfort. Moreover this presents the opportunity to unwind, recline, dine, read your newspaper and sip on the finest glass of Chardonnay. Or why not opt to indulge in a delicious Vida e Cappuccino and remember you’ll also receive an array of delectable snacks.
Another aspect notable the entire flight is the stellar service. Not only service with a smile but you are greeted with a warm welcome and this everlasting level of service remains throughout. Whether you prefer oat milk with your coffee, need a refill or an extra packet of salted nuts, the Lift inflight team offer world-class assistance. In addition they’re always geared up in a super slick, stylish uniform- black jeans, a black t-shirt and white sneakers, just adding to the charm of this brands expertise.
The seats are ergonomically designed with an adjustable option to almost lie down, with ample leg room. You might completely forget you’re in an airplane and instead imagine you’re in the passenger seat of the latest Range Rover. Arguably one of the most comfortable domestic airline seats out there.
4. Exclusive bonuses
When you book Lift Premium not only will you recieve a free seat selection and extra legroom but all Premium travellers receive unlimited booking changes. This means you will be able to change or cancel your flight right up until one hour before departure without any penalties. Flying has never been easier.
Also you’re allowed a whopping 23kg checked in baggage and not one but two 7kg hand baggage pieces and an additional special sporting equipment piece.
The bathroom experience is hotel standards with less space but all the same amenities. Indulge in the luxury lemongrass hand creams‚ soaps and sanitisers.
Finalizing the flight, as a total surprise you’ll depart with a sweet chocolate treat with a smile included.
