Booking flights on EMI FAQs

What is EMI when booking flights?

EMI stands for Equated Monthly Instalment. It’s a way to book flights and split the total cost into fixed, monthly payments, often with zero interest. Instead of paying the full fare upfront, you can secure your flights today and pay over time.

Why should I book flights on EMI?

Booking flights on EMI can help you:

  • Manage your travel budget more easily
  • Avoid large upfront costs
  • Lock in the best fares and pay monthly
  • Choose from interest-free or low-interest plans
  • Enjoy more flexibility when planning trips

Whether you're booking for work, family or a holiday, EMI can make flying more affordable.

Can I book flights on EMI in India?

At the moment, monthly EMI options are not available to customers booking from India or paying in INR. You can still book flights with Indian airlines like Air India, IndiGo and SpiceJet, but all payments must be made in full using a debit card, credit card or e-wallet.

We’re actively expanding our EMI options, so this may change in the future.
