Stress-Free Layaway Flights: Everything You Need to Know

What's a layaway?

A layaway is a method of paying for an item in instalments. It allows you to place a deposit (a small percentage of the item's total value) on a product, securing your ownership of it. The remaining amount will be paid in instalments.

Can I use a layaway to purchase my flights?

Yes! At Alternative Airlines, you can use our layaway provider to help you purchase your flights entirely stress-free!

Alternative Airlines' sole layaway supplier is Slice Pay.

By selecting Slice Pay at checkout, you can pay for your flights over time. Slice Pay is available to residents of the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. If you're living in one of these countries, you'll see Slice Pay as an option at checkout.

How can a layaway product make my flights stress-free?

Spread the cost of your flights over time 💸

With Slice Pay, you don't have to pay for your flights entirely up front. Pay 10% of your flight cost upfront, then the rest in up to 26 weekly instalments. Your plan will end at the latest around a week before your flight departure, meaning you may have to pay in less than 26 weeks, depending on when you book your flights.

💫You don't have to worry about a large chunk of money leaving your account at one time. It also means that once you've flown, there aren't any lingering costs for you to worry about.💫

Interest-free 💰

Slice Pay is entirely interest-free, including for late payments. Instead of being charged extra for missed payments, you'll be given a friendly reminder of an outstanding payment. However, if you fail to make the final payment by the agreed-upon end date (the last date in your instalment plan), then your flights will be cancelled.

💫With a layaway, you get the best of both worlds. Pay over time without any interest. There's really no catch!💫

No hidden fees 🫣

Know exactly how much you'll be spending. Slice Pay involves zero hidden fees. While you will need to pay a small hold fee to fully secure your tickets, this fee will be made clear to you at checkout.

💫There's no stress of additional fees. Know exactly how much you'll be paying at checkout with no surprise fees.💫

No credit 💳

Slice Pay involves zero credit checks. This means you can pay over time, regardless of your credit score, whether it's good or bad. It also means that late payments won't negatively impact your credit score.

💫Don't worry about your credit score getting in the way of your travel plans, layaways allow you to pay later, even if your credit score is low.💫
