Afterpay payment example for United Airlines
Say you're booking return flights from Newark to San Francisco. You search with Alternative Airlines and see that there are flights available with United for $536.
With your flights selected, you head to checkout and choose Afterpay pay in 4 as your payment method.
Now your flight cost looks like this:
- At checkout: $134
- 2 weeks later: $134
- 4 weeks later: $134
- 6 weeks later: $134
Because you paid on time and chose an interest-free plan, your total won't exceed the original cost of $536.
