Why Alternative Airlines is the best Alternative to Google Flights

Where do we begin?


Google Flights isn't an expert in selling flights. Alternative Airlines is. Google Flights is simply a metasearch that runs a search based on where and when you want to travel and then redirects you to the airline website based on the flights that are available.


The number of airlines that it returns is significantly less than the number that we do at Alternative Airlines — we have far more choice. Plus, because Google Flights redirects you the airline website, you're limited to the boring traditional payment methods that most airlines offer. At Alternative Airlines, we offer more than 40 payment methods, including buy now, pay later. This means that you can spread the cost of your flights over time and don't have to pay the full amount upfront!


Use our search form at the top of the page to search for flights now.

600+ Airlines

Google Flights simply doesn't have as many airlines on offer as Alternative Airlines. Google Flights says that it returns results 'more than 300 airlines'. Whereas, at Alternative Airlines, we offer more than 600 airlines — that's double the amount!


So, not only will we give you way more choice any time you search for flights, we'll also be able to offer your flights to the more remote destinations that Google Flights can't.


The airlines that we offer fly all across the world.

Over 40 payment methods

There's a tonne of different ways to pay for your flights at Alternative Airlines:

- Cryptocurrency
- Buy now, pay later (more on that later)
- E-wallets
- Direct Bank Transfer
- Traditional card payments

When you go through Google Flights, you only get the choice of the airline that you book with. Most airlines aren't very forward-thinking when it comes to payment methods. So, you'll most likely only have one or two card options to choose from.
