Lift Flights From Durban to Johannesburg

Lift Airline has heard the pleas of South Africans and finally added Durban to its growing list of destinations. The carrier has finally added the beloved Durban to Johannesburg route (and vice versa) to its offerings.

Initially, there will be three daily flights that fly from Durbs to the City of Gold, and the airline hopes to add more in future.

The flight departs from the King Shaka International Airport and will land at the O.R. Tambo International Airport. Each flight will last approximately one hour and five minutes. Business travellers can conclude their business and fly back the same day, and leisure travellers don’t have to wait long to begin their fun.

Why Choose Lift

While relatively new, dozens of South Africans have made the Lift airline their primary choice for travelling domestically. Here are a few reasons that have made the airline a fantastic alternative to other carriers.

Apart from service dogs, South African domestic airlines have never really allowed pets to travel onboard, but Lift is here to change that. You can now travel with your small dog in a pet-friendly carry bag placed under the seat in front of you. This only applies to a few passengers, though, and you’ll have to apply ahead of time for this.
