What if I cannot check in online?
You can still check in at the airport ticket counter or dedicated check-in kiosks. Arrive early to allow time for the standard check-in process, and have your passport and booking confirmation ready.
Can I change my seat after online check-in?
Seat changes may be available through the airline's website or by contacting Safair directly. Check the terms of your fare type, as some fares restrict or charge for seat modifications.
