Good news for regular SAA flyers as South African Airways creates\u00a0new partnership to offer its Voyager members ‘Miles for duty free shopping’.<\/p>\n
South African Airways Voyager, the loyalty programme fast becoming the leading programme on the continent, has formed a partnership with Tourvest.<\/p>\n
In return the partnership offers Tourvest, the leading tourism group, an opportunity to engage with SAA Voyager members from their Inflight Retail Services. The new partnership will later be expanded to also offer Voyager members the opportunity to use their Voyager Miles when buying duty free items.<\/p>\n
Through this partnership SAA Voyager is the first to launch a very competitive and unique customer value proposition offering in Africa, supporting the SAA Group\u2019s vision of being \u2018Africa\u2019s Leading World-Class Airline, and SAA Voyager\u2019s vision of becoming \u2018Africa\u2019s Leading World-Class Loyalty Programme.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy partnering with Tourvest, we are now able to offer our members an added opportunity to earn Voyager Miles, whilst travelling on SAA-operated flights. This partnership furthermore complements our efforts to actively expand our range of elite partners for our valued members and is in alignment with Voyager\u2019s envisaged expansion for redemption of Miles on selected non-airline partners,\u201d says SAA executive for Customer Loyalty, Suretha Cruse.<\/p>\n
Clive Jones, the Chief Executive Officer of Tourvest Inflight Retail Services explained: \u201cWe are privileged to be part of the Voyager programme and very excited by the many opportunities that this partnership presents. The foundation of our strategy is that of personalisation, this partnership with Voyager allows us to deliver on this strategy to meet the very specific retail needs of individuals that fly on SAA.\u201d<\/p>\n
