Cannot Check-In online if prebooked seat

I tried checking in online for a flight tomorrow and print a boarding pass only to get an error on the website telling me to call the call centre. On calling the call centre, the first agent I spoke to put the phone down. When I called again, I got hold of an agent (Joy) who informed me that if a person has a prebooked seat they cannot check in online because the online check in and change seat code was linked and thus check in could not be done. I explained that we had been doing this the whole of last year and she indicated that it was impossible because \it has always been this way". I then asked to speak to a supervisor and got hold of Zandile - who said the system changed in October last year which was again not true because our family used the system in November and it allowed us to check in.<br> <br> I was then told that we now had to go and stand in the queue at the airport to receive our boarding passes even if we only had hand luggage. This is really taking a step backwards in terms of customer service from Kulula. Please could somebody contact me in this regards."""

Hello rshaunm,

Thank you for your post. I am sorry for the inconvenience caused to you whilst using our services.

I am concerned to learn of the incorrect information provided to you and will address this with the contact centre managers. Customers who have purchased pre-paid seats are able to check-in online at least 24hours in advance. However there are times when the airport staff are working on the flight and have to close off the flight for check-in. The flight will then be closed for check-in temporally. I am assuming this is what happened in your case. If you should experience this problem again, please contact us directly on *** and forward us a screenshot of the error message. We will then forward this to our Business Support team to investigate.

Yours Sincerely,
Nazley - CR
