We offer two types of weekly plans at Alternative Airlines:

  • Buy Now Pay Later : A form of credit that lets you fly first and finish paying later, even after you return from your trip.
  • Deposit Plans (via Slice Pay): A no-loan option that works like a savings plan. You pay off your booking in full at least 7 days before you fly, perfect if you don't want to use a credit option or want to avoid credit checks.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer here, it really depends on how you like to plan and pay for your flights. Both options help you spread the cost of your flights, but they work a little differently.

Here’s a quick breakdown to help you decide what’s right for you:


Why choose Buy Now, Pay Later?

  • Flexible budgeting: Spread your payments weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, whatever suits your needs.


Why choose a Deposit Instalment Plan?

  • No credit, no problem: Deposit plans don’t involve loans or credit checks, so they won’t affect your credit score.
  • A smart savings tool: Pay off your flight in smaller chunks before you fly. It’s like saving towards your trip without the pressure.
  • Lock in today’s prices: Allows you to book early and reserve cheaper flights, helping you avoid price hikes closer to departure.
  • Great for planners: Ideal if you’re booking 2–6 months ahead and want a debt-free way to travel.
Is Slice Pay the same as buy now, pay later?

Not quite. Slice Pay might look like a buy now, pay later option, but it works differently and has a few key differences:

  • No credit checks: Slice Pay isn’t a form of credit. There are no credit checks, no loans, and no borrowing, just a simple way to split your payments over time.
  • Pay before you fly: With Slice Pay, your flight must be fully paid off at least 7 days before departure. Buy now, pay later plans let you finish paying after you’ve already flown.
  • No late repayment fees, no interest: Since there’s no loan involved, there’s zero interest and no late repayment fees. You fund and pay the full cost over time, without worrying about any impacts to your credit score.
