Who is eligible and what to expect

Eligibility depends on your country of residence and the provider you choose.


You’ll usually need to:

  • Be 18 years or older
  • Have a valid payment method (e.g. debit or credit card)
  • Pass a soft credit check (where applicable)

At checkout, you’ll see the payment options available in your country (options may vary depending on the cost of your flights).


Approval decisions are often instant, and once approved, your flights are confirmed straight away. Monthly payments are then automatically taken based on your plan’s schedule.
