How does payment work at Alternative Airlines?
At Alternative Airlines, you can select from any of the above currencies to pay for your flights. You don't have to use the currency of the area you're currently in. For example, if you're living in the United Kingdom but want to pay for your flights in US dollars, you can do so.
The currency you choose will impact the Buy Now Pay Later options you see at checkout. At Alternative Airlines, you can fly now and pay over several weeks, months or even years. Some of our most used BNPLs include Klarna, Tabby and Atome.
You can also pay for your flights via deposit. Select Slice Pay at checkout and put a 10% deposit on your flights, securing your ticket. Then pay for the rest in up to 26 weeks, ending before departure.
Rather pay traditionally? Then, you can pay entirely upfront. We offer 40+ ways to pay, including several e-wallet options, like Apple Pay and Google Pay.
