Buy Flights with Bread

Want to purchase your flights now and pay them back at a later date? You're in luck! At Alternative Airlines, you can find flights from more than 600 airlines, secure and purchase your flight now and then pay it back at a later date by selecting Bread at checkout.


By choosing Bread as your payment option, you've got two ways that you can pay back the cost of your flight(s):

  • SplitPay
  • Installments

SplitPay

SplitPay lets you pay back the cost of your flights in 4 equal payments, over a 6 week period. The 1st payment is taken as you checkout (you'll need to make your 1st payment in order to confirm your flight) and the 3 remaining payments are taken once every 2 weeks following that.


SplitPay payments are taken automatically, using the card that you use to make your 1st payment. So, you don't have to worry about a thing. Of course, if you don't want payments to be taken automatically, you can set up to make your payments manually instead.


Installments

Installment loans allow you to secure your flight now and pay back the cost in monthly payments. Unlike SplitPay, it doesn't require you to pay back the cost over time. Just select the number of months that you want to pay back, confirm your flight and then pay back the amount agreed to each month, until your loan is fully paid back.
