Kuwait Airways and Plusgrade: A Partnership Elevating Travel Experiences
Kuwait Airways, a prominent carrier in the Middle East and Africa has entered into a multi-year partnership with Plusgrade, a global leader in ancillary revenue solutions for the travel industry. This collaboration introduces the “Just Upgrade” service, providing passengers with the opportunity to enhance their in-flight experience by upgrading their cabin class. From Economy to Business, or Business to Royal and First Class, passengers can now bid for an upgrade up to 24 hours before their flight. Kuwait Airways loyalty program
The upgraded experience includes access to premium luxury services such as priority check-in, boarding, lounge access, and a specially curated dining experience featuring global cuisines. This partnership not only expands Plusgrade’s international footprint but also significantly scales its presence in the global travel industry.
