Bookings on SA’s busiest route made easy

11 Nov 2015
Comments | 0



TRAVELSTART has

launched Flapp for iOS

and Android – “a two

tap booking app” for flights

between Johannesburg and

Cape Town.

“The local airline industry is

seeing a shift in power back

into the hands of travellers.

Flapp is a direct response

to this evolution,” says

spokesman, Russell Jarvis.

The app is secure and

easy to use, and has been

designed to satisfy the

individual needs of a specific

group of travellers who fly

the Johannesburg-Cape

Town route regularly.

“Real-time fares from all

airlines are the first thing

visible when tapping on the

Flapp app. Results can be

filtered by either price or

departure time and a user’s

credit card details can be

saved,” says Travelstart head

of innovation, Sergio Mello.

He adds that same-day

bookings (up to two hours

before a flight departs) are

also available.

Booking patterns have

shown that in the last year,

43% of passengers between

Johannesburg and Cape Town

have booked their flights less

than a week before departure,

while more than 90% paid

for their booking with a credit

card.

Flapp offers a seven-day

window of fares bookable

for the week ahead. This

lightweight design reduces

app load time and data costs

of the end user.

“The app is secure and

makes the check-out process

fast,” says Sergio.

The app is available for free

download from the Google

Play Store and Apple App

Store
