Layaway, explained
FlightLayaway lets you reserve a flight today with a small deposit, then settle the balance in weekly or bi-weekly installments over up to 12 weeks. Transparent booking fee shown upfront. No refunds — missed plans convert to Travel Credit valid in the passenger's name.
Booking fee scale
Our booking fee is transparent and scales with how long you take to pay. Shorter terms mean lower fees. No interest, no surprises — the number you see is the number you pay.
