Civair operates on-demand charter flights, so traditional online check-in does not apply. However, proper passenger registration and documentation procedures are essential for all charter operations.
Pre-flight procedures:
- Confirm your booking details with Civair at least 48 hours before departure, including final passenger count and baggage weight
- Provide all passenger names, contact information, and identification document numbers to the airline
- Arrive at Cape Town International Airport or your designated departure point at least 2 hours before scheduled departure for domestic flights
- Complete any required charter agreements, liability waivers, or passenger manifests with Civair staff on arrival
- Proceed to check-in where baggage will be weighed and loaded according to weight-and-balance requirements
Practical tip: Keep communication open with Civair's operations team in the days leading up to your flight. Weather conditions, airport changes, or aircraft availability may require adjustments, and early notification allows for smooth rebooking if needed.
Do I need a passport for a domestic charter flight?
Yes. Even for domestic flights within South Africa, bring a valid ID document. International flights require a valid passport and compliance with all destination country entry requirements.
Can I modify my booking after it's confirmed?
Charter bookings can usually be modified, but changes depend on aircraft availability and may incur additional charges. Contact Civair immediately if you need to alter dates, passengers, or routing.
