Depending on where you’re booking from, you can choose from trusted providers like Tabby, Tamara, Afterpay and more. These let you split the cost into smaller payments, often interest-free, with clear terms and instant approval at checkout.

It’s a straightforward way to manage your travel budget without the stress of one large payment. Just search for your flight, select your payment plan, and confirm your booking. It’s that simple.

When booking flights from the UAE with Alternative Airlines, you’ll see a range of flexible payment plans at checkout.

The most popular options are Tabby and Tamara - both let you split the cost of your flight into four interest-free payments or pay in full after 30 days. These are available to UAE residents and don’t require a credit card, just a quick approval process.

If you’re paying in USD, Afterpay may also be available, making it a great option for expats or international travellers booking from the UAE.

All payment plans show you exactly what you’ll pay and when - no interest, no hidden fees and no surprises. It’s a simple, flexible way to book your flight without the upfront cost. Just choose your flight, pick your plan and get instant confirmation.

Not always. Many of our Fly Now Pay Later options work with both debit and credit cards, so you don’t need a credit card to book your flight. Providers like Tabby and Tamara, available in the UAE, let you split the cost into smaller payments using a debit card - no interest, no hidden fees, and no need to open a credit line.

Some options, like Afterpay, may ask for a credit card depending on the country and currency you’re paying in, but you’ll see all the requirements clearly at checkout.

The best part? Approval takes just a few seconds and there’s no long application process. You simply choose your preferred plan, enter your card details and you’re good to go.

So whether you’re booking a short trip or a long-haul journey to the UAE, you’ve got flexible ways to pay, without needing a credit card.

Yes - if you're flying into the UAE from another country, you can still book your flight and choose to pay later. Whether you're travelling from the UK, USA, India, or anywhere else, we offer a range of flexible payment options at checkout.

The payment plans available depend on where you're booking from and the currency you choose. For example, travellers in the UAE can use Tabby or Tamara, while customers booking in USD may see options like Afterpay or Klarna.

You’ll be able to split the cost into smaller, more manageable payments, often interest-free. It's a great way to secure your travel plans without the pressure of paying everything upfront.

When you choose a provider like Tabby, Tamara, or Afterpay, you’ll see the full breakdown of what you’ll pay and when. There are no surprise charges or hidden fees, and no need to worry about extra costs creeping in later.

If there are any late fees (which only apply if you miss a payment), they’ll be clearly stated before you confirm your booking. We’ll never hide the small print or push you into a plan that doesn’t suit you.

We believe in being upfront and giving you full control of how you pay. So whether you’re spreading the cost over a few weeks or choosing to pay in 30 days, you’ll always know exactly what you’re signing up for.

Yes, you can. With Alternative Airlines, payment plans aren’t just for one-way tickets - they work for return and multi-city bookings too. That means whether you’re flying from London to Dubai and back, or planning a more complex route with stopovers in multiple cities, you can still spread the cost over time.

Search for your full travel plan as usual, choose the flights that suit your schedule, and head to checkout. There, you’ll see a range of flexible pay later options depending on your location and currency, like Tabby, Tamara, Afterpay and more.

Approval is quick, and once it’s confirmed, your booking is locked in straight away. No need to break the bank to book the trip you need - just choose the plan that works for you and get going.

With Alternative Airlines, you can pay in over 160 currencies, so wherever you’re booking from, we’ve likely got you covered. That includes major currencies like AED, USD, GBP, EUR, and INR, along with dozens of local options.

Choose your preferred currency at the top of the page or let us automatically detect it based on your location. You’ll see all prices clearly displayed in that currency throughout the booking process - no confusing conversions or hidden fees.

This makes it easier to budget, compare options and choose the payment method that works best for you - whether that’s a local debit card, e-wallet or a flexible pay-later plan.

And if you’re paying with crypto, we’ve got support for that too. However you choose to pay, we’re here to make booking your flight to the UAE as simple as possible.

Eligibility depends on a few things - mainly where you're booking from, your chosen currency and the payment provider you select at checkout. You don’t need to fill out any long forms or go through a credit check just to find out.

When you reach the payment stage, we’ll show you the options available based on your location and currency. Pick the plan that suits you best - whether it’s splitting your payment into 4 interest-free instalments or paying in 30 days - and you’ll get a quick yes or no in seconds.

Some providers may ask for a few extra details to verify your identity, but it’s all done securely and in real time. If you’re eligible, your flight is confirmed on the spot. If not, you can still choose another payment method from over 40 ways to pay.

Yes - your flight is confirmed as soon as your payment plan is approved at checkout. Choosing to pay later doesn’t delay your booking in any way.

After that, your booking is secured and you’ll get your confirmation instantly, just like you would with any other payment method.
