10 Reasons why you should buy flights with Slice Pay


Why Book Your Flights With Slice Pay?

Slice Pay makes managing your travel budget a lot easier. Start with as little as 5% upfront (10% if you're in the US), then pay the rest in weekly chunks. No credit checks, no interest, no late fees – just stress-free payments and locked-in fares.


Booking for a friend? Planning for a future trip? However you're flying, Slice Pay puts you in charge. You’ll get handy reminders before each payment and can even hit pause if you need more time. Once it’s all sorted, you’re good to go!


Alternative Airlines makes it easy to find the flights you want, to wherever you want, and lets you lock in the best price before it rises. Plus, everything’s in one place and you don't need to switch between sites or do the maths.


1. Secure Your Flight with a Small Deposit

Did you know that Slice Pay gives you the freedom to secure your flight with a small deposit, then pay the rest in weekly instalments? As long as your payment plan is completed before you fly, you're good to go!


When you book through Alternative Airlines and select Slice Pay at checkout, you can secure today’s prices and pay off your flight bit by bit. Pay from a 5% deposit (from 10% in the USA) to get started.


Whether you’re booking in advance to get the best deals or trying to lock in a last-minute flight before prices rise, Slice Pay makes it possible to act fast. Once your deposit is paid, your flight is confirmed, and the remaining cost is spread over easy weekly payments.


It’s an excellent way to avoid missing out on great fares or popular travel dates—all while giving you time to manage your budget. Even if prices increase after your booking, you’re protected from those changes because your flight is already secured.

So, if you're not ready to pay in full today but don’t want to lose your seat, Slice Pay lets you book now and pay later, stress-free.

2. No Credit Checks Required

Worried about your credit score affecting your travel plans? With Slice Pay, that’s one less thing to think about. Unlike traditional financing options, Slice Pay doesn’t carry out any credit checks when you book your flights. Your eligibility is based simply on your ability to pay the initial deposit and complete the weekly payments, not on your credit history.


This makes Slice Pay a more inclusive option for a wide range of travellers, including students, young adults building their credit, or anyone who prefers to keep their credit report untouched. It’s also a helpful alternative for those who may have limited or no credit history at all.


By removing the barrier of credit approval, Slice Pay gives more people the freedom to book flights and travel when it matters most. Whether for a spontaneous adventure, an important family visit, or a well-earned holiday.


No paperwork. No hard checks. Just an easy way to book now and pay over time.

3. Interest-Free Payments

One of the standout benefits of using Slice Pay is the guarantee of no interest charges—ever! When you book your flights with Slice Pay, the price you see is the price you pay. After placing your small deposit, the rest of your payment is split into equal weekly instalments. These payments are completely interest-free, with no hidden fees, no surprise costs, and no APR to worry about.


This makes budgeting for travel simpler and more transparent. Whether you’re booking a weekend break or an international trip, you can spread the cost without paying more than the original price of your ticket. Think of all the amazing trips you could plan when you vacation now and pay later!


It’s a great alternative to credit cards or traditional financing, which often come with added interest or penalties for late payments. With Slice Pay, what you owe is always clear—and doesn’t change.


So, if you’re looking for a straightforward way to manage travel expenses without the extra cost, interest-free payments with Slice Pay make flying more affordable and worry-free.

4. Flexible Weekly Instalments

Slice Pay is designed to fit around your lifestyle and allow you flexibility when booking your flights. These fixed weekly instalments are automatically scheduled, so you don’t have to worry about manually making payments or keeping track of due dates.


This flexibility is especially helpful if you're planning for a holiday, booking flights for the family, looking to buy flights as a gift or simply want to free up funds for other travel expenses like hotels, excursions or spending money. The best part? You choose when to book. Whether it’s months in advance or last minute, Slice Pay helps you break down the cost without exceeding your budget.


What makes Slice Pay truly flexible is that it adapts to your needs. It’s designed to give you control over how and when you pay, so you can book your flights on your terms. So make that last-minute getaway that you have been dreaming of happen!

5. No Late Payment Fees

A positive about using Slice Pay is that it doesn’t charge late fees if you happen to miss a scheduled payment. Life happens—and sometimes, that means a payment might be missed. With Slice Pay, there’s no need to stress.


Instead of penalising you, Slice Pay focuses on helping you stay on track with your instalments. You’ll receive automated reminders before each payment is due, giving you time to plan and manage your budget.


With all that said, it’s still important to complete all payments at least 7 days before your departure. This ensures your flight is fully paid and your ticket remains confirmed. If a payment is missed or delayed too close to your travel date, your booking could be at risk, so staying up to date is key.


With no added fees and helpful reminders along the way, Slice Pay makes it easier to budget for travel without fear of financial penalties. It’s flexibility with peace of mind built in.

These reminders take the pressure off having to remember payment dates manually or worry about missing a deadline. Whether you're busy planning your trip, juggling day-to-day expenses, or just have a lot on your mind, Slice Pay’s built-in reminder system helps you stay organised.


It’s a small feature that makes a big difference, especially when you're spreading the cost of your flights. By giving you full visibility over your upcoming payments, Slice Pay helps you stay in control from the moment you book to the moment you fly.
