2) Fantastic customer service

Because customer service is at the heart of what we do, our Customer Service Team offers unparalleled customer support. Our goal is to ensure that all our customers feel confident when booking flights and have everything they need both pre and post-booking.

Unlike many other flight search sites, Alternative Airlines won’t send you anywhere else to complete your booking. We handle all of the payments and e-tickets ourselves! This means that you can easily manage all of your flight bookings in one place. And if you have any questions about any of your flights, you can rely on the expertise of our Customer Service Team.

3) Over 40 ways to pay

Alternative Airlines is all about providing greater choice. No matter where in the world you’re booking from, nor where you want to fly to, we believe that you should be able to pay in the way you want. That’s why you can search and book flights in any of the 160 localised currencies that we offer and checkout using any of our 40+ ways to pay. As well as traditional debit and credit card payments, our payment options include: PayPal, ‘buy now, pay later’ payment instalment options (more on that soon!), e-wallets, direct bank transfer and even Cryptocurrency.

When you book directly through an airline, you’ll usually only be presented with one or two ways to pay at checkout. But by booking through Alternative Airlines, you can pay the way you prefer.

4) Book flights now, pay later

Looking for payment flexibility when booking your flights? Through Alternative Airlines, you can complete your booking today and spread the cost of your airfare over time. We offer a number of longer and shorter-term ‘buy now, pay later’ (BNPL) payment plan options, so that you can choose a plan which is right for you. Our installment options include: Afterpay, Zip, Klarna and Affirm, among others.

So, there’s no need to miss out on that weekend break or dream vacation — our BNPL payment options make booking flights a breeze. You can lock-in today’s prices and be assured that your flights are confirmed, but without the pressure of having to pay the full amount upfront.

The payment plan options available depend on the country in which you reside.

5) An easier flight search

‘Easy’ is our middle name. We’ve carefully considered every stage of the flight booking process to ensure that you’re able to find and book the exact flights that you want, based on your requirements.

When searching for flights, you can apply one of our filters to only view the flights and/or airlines available based on your preferences. As well as filtering the search results based on the cheapest flights, you can also sort your flight results by: the fastest journey time, the departure time (morning, afternoon, evening) and the number of stops, as well as lots of other options.

Top Tip: If you can be flexible with your travel dates, use our Best Fare Finder calendar when choosing your departure and arrival dates to find the cheapest day to fly.

6) Book seats, bags & more

When it comes to buying flights, we understand that choosing the right seat and ensuring that you have the amount of the baggage that you need is just as important as anything else. That's why (unlike most other travel agencies) for the majority of the airlines that we offer you can pre-book seats and baggage at the time of booking.

As well as making it simple to add additional baggage when booking your flights (potentially saving you higher excess baggage fees at the airport!), you can also add Lost Baggage Protection — an insurance option which allows you to claim compensation if your airline loses track of your baggage for 96 hours or longer.

We’ve also developed our own easier-to-use seat selection tool, so that you can see the seating configuration within the aircraft and choose the exact seats that you want. So whether you prefer the window, middle, or aisle seat, or prefer the front or back of the cabin, with Alternative Airlines you can be confident that when you fly you’ll be as comfortable as possible in your chosen seat.

Adding additional baggage and seat selection at the time of booking is available depending on the airline.
