Kulula offers prepaid seating benefit

Whether you prefer a window seat for a perfect view; an aisle seat, which offers easy access to your bag in the overhead compartment; a seat in the first few rows so you can dash off the plane first; or one further back to relax during the flight, you now have control of this.

Shaun Pozyn, marketing manager of kulula.com, explained the benefits of kulula's prepaid seating option: "With so many different travel preferences, we give you the option to choose exactly where you want to sit on the plane, for only R35 per person per flight. When making a flight booking, you will be able to select your prepaid seat before making payment for your booking. So whether it's snuggled up next to your partner, or on the opposite side of the plane from your mother-in-law, the choice is yours with our prepaid seating benefit," said Pozyn.

Change your mind later

However, if you feel like leaving it to lady luck or don't feel like making any more decisions, simply decline the offer to pre-pay for your preferred seat and enjoy the delight of being surprised instead. "You can change your mind and add a prepaid seat to your booking at a later stage," said Pozyn. Simply go to the "manage booking" tab on kulula.com, or call the Contact Centre on 0861 585852 at least 24 hours before departure.

Remember, even if you have a prepaid seat you'll still need to check in either online or on kulula.mobi at least 24 hours before your flight departure, or at the airport 90 minutes before. For safety reasons the exit row seats situated at the emergency doors and infant bookings are excluded from prepaid seating or online check-in seat selection, these need to be selected at the airport check-in counters.
