Why use Alternative Airlines for flights?
A Single Platform
Booking with an OTA (online travel agency) has many advantages, including the convenience of finding everything you need on a single platform like Alternative Airlines. Our website allows you to compare the prices of different flights with varying airlines, all at various times, without the need to hop between sites to find what you're looking for. This convenience saves you time and keeps all your important travel information under one provider for a smoother booking process.
Flexibility
At Alternative Airlines, we offer you the chance to book flexible flight tickets that enable you to make changes to the departure time and date before the flight as close as 24 hours. Alternatively, if you want greater flexibility, we also offer the choice to book open-ended flight tickets. This type of fare gives you ultimate flexibility as you can return whenever you like and are not governed by a pre-booked flight.
If you have the luxury of being flexible with your travel dates, why not use our 'Best Fare Finder' to find the cheapest fare for you?
Buy Now Pay Later
At Alternative Airlines, we offer 40+ payment options, including buy now, pay later. Did you know you could book your flights now but pay later with manageable instalments? Well, now you do! Unlike the airline directly, Alternative Airlines lets you choose how YOU would like to pay for your flights with multiple options to suit your needs. This added flexibility and personalisation is a key selling point as to why booking with an OTA has more advantages than booking with an airline direct.
In-House Customer Service Team
Our dedicated in-house customer service team are here to help 7 days a week, assisting you with any queries you may have. As an OTA we offer a Manage My Booking portal that enables you to view your booking details as well as add on any extras that you may have missed when making the original booking. This portal also has the option for you to make a self-service cancellation, providing the refund amount you would receive, prior to pressing cancel.
The quality support you receive from us is notably recognised in our outstanding Trustpilot reviews, which can be viewed here.
