Why buy flights with Afterpay?

1) It’s flexible

Not only is Afterpay flexible in that it lets you pay in 4, over 6 weeks. It also offers two ways of making payments so that you can select the one that works for you. One plan Afterpay offers is automatic payments that are set up every 2 weeks to pay off the cost of your flights. Or if you want to make the full payment before the 6-week period is over, you can pay off the entire cost of your flights at any time!

2) It’s interest-free

The wonderful thing about Afterpay is that unlike many other Buy Now Pay Later payment providers, it's completely interest-free. This means that you'll pay exactly the price that was displayed to you at checkout and no late fees. Just note that late fees may apply and the issuer of your payment method used to repay the Afterpay loan may charge interest or other charges in accordance with the terms and conditions agreement between you and your bank.

3) It’s accepted in 50 states

Afterpay is accepted in 50 states within the U.S. as well as in the District of Columbia. In other words, it’s available to any qualifying US resident at least the age of over the age of 18. You can make your Afterpay flight booking through us when you pay in US dollars. Afterpay is also available in Australia and New Zealand!

4) Travel after you make your first payment

If you pay with Afterpay, depending on when your flight is, you might find yourself travelling before you have even paid back most of the cost of your flight. This gives you a little more spending money to take away with you on your travels.

5) It can be used to buy flights to anywhere in the world

In case you didn’t know already, we offer you flights from more than 600 global airlines. These airlines include some of the largest airlines, such as American Airlines, Delta, China Eastern Airlines, Emirates and Lufthansa in addition to more domestic and regional carriers.

6) It's quick

It’s really quick to sign up with Afterpay and only requires your basic details to set up the instalment plan. Once you’re registered, your details are stored in the Afterpay database. This means you won’t have to go through the hassle of filling out your card details each time a payment is made.

7) It’s a safe way to pay

Afterpay is a secure Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) provider and one of the most trusted, well-recognised payment providers out there. Afterpay is a PCI DSS Level 1 certified compliant Service Provider organisation. This is a comprehensive set of requirements created by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council to enhance cardholder data security and to ensure the safe handling and storage of sensitive credit card information and data. This is the highest level of security in the payment industry.

As you can see, security is really important to Afterpay as they ensure their users' personal details are always protected.

8) It can help you to travel to several places at one time

If you’re thinking of planning a longer holiday and would like to visit as many different cities or countries as you can in one trip, you can do so through Alternative Airlines. We can help you plan your multi-city route with our multi-stop flight feature. When paying with Afterpay, you will likely be paying in instalments even after your holiday is over which is ideal if you don’t want to be paying for an expensive multi-stop holiday in one go. So go ahead and make the most out of your trip and book a multi-city flight using Afterpay.

9) It has a great app

The Afterpay app is user-friendly and easy to use, making the experience of buying a flight online straightforward. The app is like having a personal shopper at hand anytime and anywhere as it is available 24/7. It also allows you to manage your account, view and make payments, and of course, buy flights with Alternative Airlines!

10) It can help with the cost of adding additional services to your flights

If you’re looking for added comfort, ease and more freedom on your next flight, paying later with Afterpay helps you do just that. Alternative Airlines allows you to pre-select your seat, add extra baggage, add cancellation protection onto your flight and even upgrade to a better cabin class.
