Airfares prices are constantly increasing as airlines grapple with tighter capacity and increasing demand, yet Slice Pay’s layaway option with Alternative Airlines lets traveler's lock in today’s price with just a small deposit of 10% (or 20% for US customers), then split the rest into interest free slices up to 26 automatic weekly or bi-weekly payments before take-off.
Layaway flights let you secure your flights today, and pay the rest off gradually overtime. Without the chance of going into debt. With Slice Pay, you can secure your flight by paying a small initial deposit of 10% (or 20% for US customers), then split the rest into interest free slices before your departure.
There’s no credit issued and no debt lingering over you after your trip. There is a one time, non-refundable Hold Price Fee which let’s you lock in your fare. But, you’ll never face interest charges or late payment penalties.
Please note, Slice Pay is only available to residents of the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
Airfare continues to rise as airlines face tighter capacity and growing demand.

With Slice Pay, you can lock in today’s price and protect yourself from future fare hikes.
Slice Pay keeps things simple. Aside from a one-time Hold Price Fee to reserve your fare, you’ll never pay interest and there are no penalties if you miss an installment. It’s flexible, transparent, and traveler-friendly.

Because you finish paying before you fly, there is no debt handing over your head. Slice Pay runs no credit checks, so your credit score stays untouched.
Planning travel for multiple people can be expensive, especially when flights or accommodation are involved.

Whether it’s a family reunion, school holiday trip, or a special occasion abroad.
Budget-conscious travellers, especially students and early-career professionals find it easier to make predictable, smaller payments rather than buying flights in one big lump sum. Slice Pay gives them the flexibility to plan trips around study breaks, holidays, or festivals while staying in control of their finances.
