Passengers Urged To Arrive Early Amid Check-in Glitch At Flysafair And Lift Airlines

Airports Company South Africa ACSA has announced that a global technical issue is currently affecting the check-in systems of FlySafair and LIFT airlines, leading to significant delays and long queues at check-in counters.
The problem, which is impacting passengers across multiple airports, has yet to be resolved, with no estimated timeline for a full fix.
The issue has caused disruptions in the check-in process, forcing passengers to endure longer-than-usual waiting times. In response, ACSA is urging travellers to allocate additional time when heading to the airport.
For regional flights, passengers are advised to arrive at least three hours before departure, while those travelling domestically should aim to be at the airport two hours before their flight.
