Buy Flights with Stablecoins

Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies that have been designed for stability. The price volatility that usually comes with standard crypto coins is minimised by pegging the stablecoin's value to a stable external asset like fiat currencies (USD and EUR), commodities (gold) or other cryptocurrencies. Unlike Bitcoin, stablecoins aim to offer a reliable store of value, making them more suitable for everyday transactions.

The travel industry is beginning to adopt stablecoin transactions for their speed, cost-effectiveness and accessibility. At Alternative Airlines, we accept bookings using popular stablecoins like USDC and USDT, among others.

Traditional cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum are known for their wild price fluctuations, making them less ideal for transactions like booking flights. Stablecoins are a suitable alternative for several reasons:

You can avoid unpredictable fluctuations in exchange rates or the value of your travel funds with stablecoins. This is because stablecoins maintain a near-constant value, ensuring your flight costs stay predictable from booking to travel.

Blockchain-based transactions with stablecoins settle quickly and efficiently (often within minutes) compared to slower traditional bank transfers. This is especially helpful when booking last-minute flights or dealing with time-sensitive situations.

Credit card transactions and international wire transfers often come with hefty fees. With stablecoin transactions, you won't need to break the bank paying for fees - this means you can save that extra money for your trip!

Stablecoins ignore geographical limitations, allowing you to easily pay for your flights even if you're in a region with limited access to traditional financial services. This opens doors to new travel experiences without financial barriers.
