Why ‘Book Now, Pay Later’ is the Best Thing Since Cheap Flights
1. Interest-Free Flexibility
- You pay the original price of your flight, split into three or four equal payments.
- No interest. No hidden fees. For example: if your flight costs R1,000, you’ll pay R250 four times over six weeks or R333.33 three times over three paydays.
2. Travel Without Paying the full amount
- Secure your booking with a small upfront payment and travel right away. Unlike a lay-buy, you don’t have to finish the instalments before you use the ticket. So, that trip to Thailand is more possible than you think.
3. It’s Forever, Not Just Black Friday
While it’s launching with our Black Friday travel deals in 2024, this payment option is here to stay. No need to rush… but also, don’t miss those crazy Black Friday discounts right now.
