Can I book flights with LIFT using PayJustNow?

When you book with Alternative Airlines, you can choose from over 40 payment options for your LIFT flights, including PayJustNow. We're committed to simplifying and easing the process of booking your flight. That's why we are proud to offer PayJustNow for South African travellers who want to pay in South African Rand.

With PayJustNow, there are a few different options with which to pay for your flights: Pay in 3, which splits purchases into three monthly, payday-aligned instalments: one third upfront and two after that, with no interest or fees. For larger purchases, PayStretch (also called Pay in 12) spreads payments over 6–12 months, but this extended option is interest-bearing.

About LIFT

Flexible Flying ✈️

Flexible bookings have earned LIFT a reputation as South Africa’s most flexible airline. Behind the scenes, it can add flights and routes quickly in response to demand.

Pet Friendly Flying 🐶

LIFT has a genuinely pet-friendly policy, which few domestic South African carriers offer. LIFT’s pet-friendly offer is for small dogs only. It was a first for South African air travel when it launched in 2021. The dog travels in the cabin in an approved soft-case carrier, placed under a blocked window seat on the owner’s booking. LIFT can’t take larger dogs or other pets.

Comfortable Flying ✨

LIFT is known for complimentary in-flight refreshments. These include Vida e Caffè coffee on morning flights and wine tasting from top South African estates on afternoon flights. That approach has won awards, including Best Low-Cost Airline in Africa at the Skytrax World Airline Awards.
