Booking flights shouldn’t feel like applying for a mortgage. If you’ve ever had your travel plans stalled by a credit check or been told “no” because of a score, we hear you.

That’s why we’ve teamed up with Slice Pay and built smart deposit options, so you can book your flights without the awkward finance hoops.

Why Book Flights Without a Credit Check?

Not everyone wants a credit check tied to their travel plans - and for good reason.

Some travellers don’t have a credit score yet. Others are working to rebuild theirs. And for many, it’s just about keeping things simple - no hard checks, no unnecessary impact on their report.

Credit checks can also be a barrier when you’re trying to budget carefully or book last-minute. A hard inquiry could affect your score, even if you’re only trying to spread the cost of a flight.

That’s why we offer Slice Pay, a deposit-based way to book your flight with no credit checks, no interest and no late fees. Slice Pay lets you pay weekly from just 10% upfront. The deposits let you secure today’s price and pay the rest later. You’ll always get instant confirmation - no waiting, no forms.

Whether you’re building credit, avoiding hard inquiries or just want to manage your money better, we’re here to help.

How Do Flight Payment Plans Work?

Flight payment plans let you book now and spread the cost over time, instead of paying the full amount upfront. It’s called 'Buy Now Pay Later' (or BNPL) and it’s designed to make travel more flexible and affordable.

When you choose a BNPL option like Slice Pay at checkout, you’ll pay a small deposit to secure your flight. The rest is then split into manageable instalments, usually weekly, which are automatically taken from your card. As long as the full balance is paid off before your departure date, you’re good to go.

There are no hidden fees or surprise charges. You’ll see exactly what you owe and when it’s due before confirming your booking. It’s a simple way to lock in today’s prices and plan ahead without the pressure of one large payment.

BNPL options may involve either a soft or hard credit check. A soft check doesn’t affect your credit score and is often used just to confirm your identity. A hard check, on the other hand, is recorded on your credit report and may impact your score.

With Slice Pay, there are no credit checks at all, making it ideal if you’re building credit or want to avoid any impact.

Pros and Cons of Booking Flights Without a Credit Check

Booking flights without a credit check gives you more choice and control. But like any payment method, it has its upsides and a few things to watch for.


Pros ✅

  • Accessibility - You don’t need a strong credit score or long credit history. It’s perfect if you’re rebuilding credit or just want to avoid hard checks on your report.
  • Great for budgeting - With options like Slice Pay, you can secure your flight with a small deposit (starting from 10% upfront) then pay the rest in weekly instalments. There’s no interest, no late fees and no credit checks, so you always know where you stand.
  • Secure today’s price - This is helpful if you’re booking early or worried about fare increases.


Cons ⚠️

  • Some providers may charge service or processing fees, so it’s worth reviewing the total cost before you commit.
  • There may also be limits on where and what you can book, depending on your country or the airline.
  • While instalment plans are flexible, missing payments could affect your booking, especially if you don’t complete the plan in time for departure.
  • These options also aren’t available everywhere. Slice Pay, for example, is currently limited to residents of the UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Still, for many travellers, it’s a smart, credit check–free way to fly, especially when booking through Alternative Airlines.

Tips for Responsible Travel Financing

Know your total cost upfront 💷

Before you book, look at the full price of your flight and your payment plan. With services like Slice Pay, there’s no interest or late fees, so what you see is what you’ll pay. Just make sure it fits your monthly budget.


Only book what you can afford to pay off 💡

It might be tempting to go big on a trip and worry about the payments later, but always ask yourself: can I comfortably make the instalments before I fly?


Keep track of your payment schedule

You’ll get reminders, but it’s a good idea to set your own too. Knowing when payments are due helps avoid surprises and gives you peace of mind.


Avoid stacking multiple plans at once 🚫

One Buy Now Pay Later booking is easy to manage. Several at the same time? That’s where it can get tricky. Focus on one trip at a time to keep things simple.

Travel should feel exciting, not stressful. Use flexible payments to plan smarter, not spend more, and enjoy the freedom to fly on your terms.
