How Afterpay works
Afterpay is simple. By choosing Afterpay, you secure your airline tickets now and lock in today's prices without having to pay the total cost upfront.
The cost of your flights is paid in 4 interest-free payments over 6 weeks.
The 1st payment is taken at the time that you confirm your flights. The following 3 payments are taken once every 2 weeks.
Let's break that down to make it even easier to understand. Imagine you've purchased flights for $800 USD:
- You secure and purchase your flights at Alternative Airlines and have agreed to pay over time in 4 payments with Afterpay. The 1st payment ($200 USD) is taken at purchase — $600 USD remaining
- 2 weeks after you've secured your flight and made the 1st payment, the 2nd payment is automatically processed ($200 USD) — $400 USD remaining
- 4 weeks after making the 1st payment, the 3rd payment is automatically processed ($200 USD) — $200 USD remaining
- 6 weeks after making the 1st payment, the 4th and final payment is automatically processed ($200 USD) — nothing remaining. Your flights have been fully paid off
If you choose to make additional payments, you can do so through your Afterpay account.

But, other than that, you won't have to do anything and Afterpay will handle the rest.
