Flights from London to Dublin confirmed and paid with Affirm's Pay in 4

Affirm payment example for a Ryanair flight

Say you're looking for return flights from London to Dublin. You use the Alternative Airlines search bar and find that Ryanair is offering flights for £60.

At checkout, you see that you're eligible to pay for your flights in instalments with Affirm's Pay in 4.

Now the cost of your flights looks like this:

  • At checkout: £15
  • 2 weeks later: £15
  • 4 weeks later: £15
  • 6 weeks later: £15

After just 6 weeks, you'll have paid in full. Because you paid on the agreed dates of your Affirm contract and chose an interest-free plan, the overall amount you pay won't exceed the original price of £60.
