An Overview

PayLater Travel provides a convenient layby service that allows you to secure airline tickets with a deposit.

What is Layby?
Layby is a payment option that lets you reserve a product by paying a deposit, while you continue to make payments over time. Once the total amount is paid, the product is released to you.

How It Works:

  1. Deposit Payment: After you pay your deposit, we purchase your ticket from the airline and pay for it in full on your behalf.

  2. Ticket Holding: We will hold your ticket while you complete the remaining payments.

  3. Final Release: The end date of the installment generally falls a week or two before your departure. Once fully paid, the ticket will be sent to your email within 24-48 hours. You also have the option to pay early through our online portal to receive your ticket sooner.

This service provides flexibility and peace of mind, allowing you to plan your travel without the need for immediate full payment.

Booking a Flight ๐Ÿ›ซ

PayLater Travel allows you to purchase a flight paying only a small deposit. The remaining amount is paid off using a payment plan. This protects you from price hikes whilst also helping you budget!

Find Your Flight

Jump on our site and search for the flight of your choice. We offer all major airlines and routes. We will indicate the total price along with the deposit amount and estimated installment value.

Secure Your Flight

You are able to book your flights with a small deposit (starting as low as 10%) which you pay right away. The best part is, that Pay Later Travel does not charge interest or conduct any credit checks. Once you check out our team secures your flights right away so you'll be protected from price increases.

The remaining amount is paid off using a payment plan which you set up at checkout. You can spread repayments over weekly or bi-weekly payments, for up to 6 months (26 weeks). The exact number of repayments will vary depending on your departure date. E.g. if you book your flight 7 weeks in advance you will have 6 repayments (we always aim for the last repayment to be at least a week before your flight leaves).

We allow you to select how often you will make repayments (weekly or bi-weekly) along with when those repayments begin. This gives you the flexibility to create a payment plan that aligns with your lifestyle and finances. We find many people will align their repayments with their payday.

Pay off Your Flight

You can view your upcoming repayments using your dashboard. You can log in to access your dashboard using this link. Payments will be automatically debited from your chosen account at a frequency of your choice (weekly or bi-weekly) so you do not need to think about it. Don't worry we will send you a reminder when you have an upcoming payment.

Enjoy Your Trip

Our payment plans are built to ensure your booking will be paid off before your flight departs. Once you make your final payment we will send you your e-ticket within 48 hours. You can travel stress-free knowing your flight is already paid off!
