Lufthansa Group’s Partnership with South African Airways and Airlink Improves Travel Options in Southern Africa

To enhance travel options, Lufthansa Group has entered into a codeshare agreement with South African Airways (SAA) and Airlink. With this alliance, Lufthansa Group airline passengers can access several onward connections in South Africa and Namibia via domestic flights on SAA and Airlink.

Simplified Travel with Convenient Booking and Lower Costs

IOL reports that this codeshare agreement offers the convenience of booking an integrated journey with a single ticket. For instance, passengers can book a Lufthansa flight to Europe and complement it with a feeder flight from cities such as Johannesburg or Cape Town, all under a single reservation. Furthermore, codeshare tickets are cost-effective compared to booking separate flights.

Streamlined Transit with Luggage Check-Through

Apart from cost savings, passengers can check their luggage through to their final destination. The entire travel process is simplified as transit in major hubs like Johannesburg or Cape Town is seamlessly coordinated between the partner airlines involved.

Lufthansa Group’s General Manager Expresses Excitement

Matthias Lefèvre, General Manager of Sales for Lufthansa Group Airlines in Southern Africa, expressed his excitement for the partnership. He emphasized that these partnerships introduce unprecedented flexibility and a vast array of choices for travelers throughout the Southern African region.

Strengthening Lufthansa Group’s Relationship with SAA

The codeshare agreements with SAA serve to strengthen the enduring relationship between Lufthansa Group and SAA. This development empowers passengers to include an onward connecting flight from Johannesburg to other desired destinations, all within the scope of a single booking.

Improved Travel Options and Convenience for Passengers

The codeshare agreements with SAA and Airlink are more than just a testament to Lufthansa Group’s innovative approach. They also signal a significant enhancement in travel options and convenience for passengers navigating the Southern African region. The ability to book flights with multiple airlines under a single reservation, coupled with the seamless transit experience and cost savings, make these partnerships an indispensable asset for travelers seeking flexibility and variety.
