Discovery clients can now save on United Airlines flights to the USA
Discovery Vitality has announced that United Airlines, one of the world’s largest airlines and a member of the Star Alliance network, will bring exciting additional flight options to the Vitality Travel platform.
“Offering United Airlines flights at discounted rates is a significant enhancement to Vitality Travel, our end-to-end travel booking platform that offers the widest choice, convenience, and unbeatable value to South African travellers,” said Dinesh Govender, CEO of Discovery Vitality.
“The USA is a popular travel destination for our clients, so discounts on a nonstop flight that will have you in New York the next morning is something we know Vitality travellers will love.”
“Other destinations include Miami, Orlando, Las Vegas and Los Angeles, catering for a wide variety of holiday adventures,” he added.
Flights with United Airlines are accessible through the Vitality Travel platform for all Discovery clients through their Discovery Bank account, including the no-monthly-fee Discovery Account – a safe, secure means to book travel – and at incomparable discounts.
United Airlines joins Vitality Travel’s network of international flights, which includes British Airways, Emirates, Qantas and SAA, and regional flights on Airlink, CemAir, FlySafair and Lift.
With the addition of United Airlines, direct routes to the United States will include daily nonstop flights from Johannesburg to New York, offering a seamless gateway to the rest of the country, and nonstop flights from Cape Town to Washington D.C. and New York three times a week, respectively.
Travel discounts and savings are among Vitality’s most popular rewards redeemed by clients who manage their money and health well. Since its launch in 2022, the Vitality Travel platform has given clients over R1.6 billion in travel savings on more than 2.4 million flights.
Discovery Bank clients have also made over 400,000 visits to The Lounge since the partnership with SAA launched in 2022.
“We want to make sure that we offer our clients value across every aspect of travel, from the moment they book, to the day they depart, and when they return home.”
“It starts with offering a wide range of travel options and unmatched discounts as high as up to 75% off flights, as well as discounts on holiday accommodation and car hire,” Govender said.
“It extends to the ability to skip queues at the airport with Priority Fast Track and Europcar Ready2GO express checkout, so you have time to enjoy exceptional coffee and cocktails at The Lounge with SAA.”
“The addition of United Airlines to the Vitality Travel platform reflects our ongoing commitment to offer exceptional travel benefits that respond to the evolving needs of our clients,” he concludes.
