Paylater, has help me be able to travel when at times I couldn't. I've visited my family at Christmas and then again on spring break. This was an amazing trip. Thank you

Linda Morgan

I used Pay Later to book a flight to New York and had a really smooth experience. The payment plan was clear, reasonable, and easy to follow, which made budgeting a lot less stressful. Everything was straightforward from start to finish with no confusion or hidden surprises.

U Renee

The best affordable payment plan ever I love the fact that I can pay off fortnightly in few months rather than having to try and squeeze in to pay off 4 fortnights like Afterpay. Pay Later is my go to for travel from now on. My first solo trip, Japan here I come! I'm already deciding on next trip so Pay Later, you will get another love from me.

Cynthia Armstrong

Wow it’s so incredibly helpful having this pay later scheme, thank you so very much it’s a blessing. This will be my first white Christmas……….. HoHoHo Can’t wait!

Booking early when you may not have the funds available help to secure your flight at a cheaper rate and gives you the peace of mind that you are all booked up. Payments are super easy, and they won't immediately cancel your trip if you fall behind for a short time. I was Leary at first, but I've booked 3 international flights and had no problems at all. I would definitely recommend.

FAQs

Do I need a credit check?

No, credit checks aren’t needed to book a flight with Paylater Travel. This is because we aren't providing you with credit or a loan. Your seat is secured with a small deposit and the remainder is paid off in installments before you fly.

No interest. No credit checks.

When will I receive my flight ticket?

As soon as you’ve paid your deposit via the Paylater Travel platform, we purchase your ticket on your behalf. This means your seat is secure and today’s price has been locked in. You will then receive your flight itinerary (essentially, your pre-departure e-ticket) via email within 24 hours of completing your final payment – easy!

Am I going into debt using Paylater Travel?

Absolutely not! Paylater Travel is a travel saving tool that helps you budget for your trip. We clearly outline all costs upfront and offer flexible payment plans that work with your budget. There are no credit checks required, no hidden fees or compounding interest charges that could lead to debt. Plus, your flight ticket is only issued once you’ve paid in full.

Can I pay for my flights in installments?

Yes! Using Paylater Travel lets you split the upfront cost of your flight into smaller, more manageable payments. After booking your flight with a small deposit, you can pay off the rest in up to 18 weekly installments.

How is Paylater Travel different to saving up in the bank?

Paylater Travel lets you lock in the current flight price with a small deposit, without needing to pay in full up front. This can help you avoid price increases. For example, a flight might cost you $300 now, but it could go up to $400 a few weeks later. This often means prices go up faster than you can save. Secure your seat now and make regular payments while you save.

How is Paylater Travel different to booking flights with Afterpay?

Paylater Travel uses a layaway model instead of a credit model. Credit models charge customers interest on late payments. Using the Paylater Travel platform means no interest, no credit checks, no hidden fees and no compounding interest charges that could lead to debt. Plus, we offer more flexibility. Our customers can choose to pay in up to 18 weekly installments instead of being locked into just 4 payments.

Our platform is built specifically for buying flights. This means there’s no spend limit on Paylater Travel flights, so no need to worry when booking for groups or multiple flights which exceed common spend limits.

Paylater Travel lets you book and budget for your flights all in one place. Buy Now Pay Later services like Afterpay and Affirm are simply payment methods, so you will still need to find and book your flight on a platform that accepts them.

How can I choose my seat/baggage?

Seat selection and luggage options are typically managed through the airline's website. Once you’ve paid in full and received your flight itinerary from Paylater Travel, you’ll be able to directly contact the airline and choose your seat or add luggage (if it wasn’t already included in the fare).
