This was my first booking and I used Alternative Airlines twice on this trip. I must say by far the best online booking experience ever.

So easy to use and the payment options are very helpful when you need to book a ticket and you may not have the full amount at the moment. Really recommend Alternative Airlines to my clients and friends.

What a great way to be able to see my family back in South Africa. This is made possible since we can buy our tickets and pay it off over 4 months. With the price of flight tickets so high Alternative Airlines has been a literal lifesaver!
