World
Humanitarian Day – The 19th of August is World
Humanitarian Day. It's a day for all of us to come together and
recognise those who've lost their lives while working for humanitarian
causes.
Let us not forget the victims of armed conflicts, and those brave men
and women who go that extra mile to make the world a better place no
matter the cost. May their spirits and sense of goodwill inspire all of
us to make a difference in whatever way we can.
As the leading carrier in Africa, SAA is proud to be part of a global
community that stands up for humanity.

We
wish to remind you of the process you need to follow when claiming
missing SAA and Star Alliance partner Miles on our self-service
functionality available online.
|
|
STEPS
TO CLAIM MISSING MILES ONLINE:
|
|
1.
Go to www.flysaa.com;
2. On the right hand side, enter your Voyager number;
3. Enter your Voyager PIN;
4. Click on 'login'. You will be redirected to the SAA Voyager web page;
5. Select 'Claim missing Miles' then 'Add a Flight'; and
6. Fill in the flight details as per your e-ticket or boarding pass.
|
|
However,
when inserting your SAA ticket number, the sequence should be entered
from 083. The preceding number before 083
should not be entered as this will invalidate your mileage claim. For
example, if the boarding pass shows 10834333854953, then
the correct number to enter is: 0834333854953
