Why book your FlySafair flight with Happy Pay?
Travelling together? Nearly 1 in 4 FlySafair bookings with us are for 2 or more people. When you're booking for multiple people, the cost can add up, especially if you're including extras like bags and seat selections.
This is where Happy Pay can help, as you can spread the whole booking over one simple plan, rather than paying the entire cost upfront. And you can pay in South African rand.
Both Happy Pay plans are interest-free too, so you only pay back the cost of your booking.
