We all need a holiday, right? Your annual leave is banked up and you’re trying to find the perfect time for you and the family (or just you, no judgement) to actually go on that well-deserved getaway. But, there’s one thing that might be stopping you from taking the leap — that plane ticket will mean dropping a lot of money at once, and that alone can deter us from booking the trip at all.
Well, the brains behind Australian company PayLater Travel saw that dilemma and found a solution — to let people layby their travel.
PayLater Travel, founded in 2017, was built to help make travel accessible for everyone. Because, no matter the destination, we all deserve a holiday, right? However, PayLater Travel puts your financial well-being first, while giving you the breathing room you need to make the weeks leading up to your holiday just that little bit easier.

But, how does PayLater Travel work? It really is just like it says on the tin. Using PayLater Travel means you’re essentially putting your flight ticket on layby. You find the exact flight you want (yep, you can still get those all too precious flight points), enter your necessary details and choose the amount you want to deposit. That’s literally all it takes to lock in your flight.
You then agree to make regular payments (either weekly or fortnightly) and, once you’re all paid up, you’ll be sent your ticket. It’s a completely smooth booking experience that takes away the stress of dropping all that money at once while also allowing you to maintain your regular budget. Your well-deserved rest and relaxation, or your long overdue family vacay, shouldn’t have to come at a compromise, after all.
Let’s face it, when booking an international flight, you want to be sure that you know exactly what you’re getting, and that if anything goes wrong in the lead-up to your departure date, someone will be on the case. The PayLater Travel team is on the ball, and with a 24/7 chat service available, you’ll never have to worry as customer service is always there to answer any questions.
On top of that, PayLater Travel makes it a point to ensure you know everything about your potential chosen flight before you put your deposit down. Are you booking economy or business? Does your ticket allow additional baggage? Is your flight refundable? PLT reminds you, at multiple points through the purchase process, of what exactly you’re locking in. No secrets here.
Speaking of secrets, you won’t find any throughout the PayLater Travel process. There’s no interest fees, no late payment fees and no credit checks. The solution to inaccessible travel isn’t debt — it’s flexibility.

Reading all this, you might think that this is one of those ‘too good to be true’ services, but trust me — it’s not. And if you don’t trust me, trust the 2,000 reviews of PLT on TrustPilot, where it has an average rating of 4.8 stars out of 5. Not too shabby, right?
So why not join the 100,000+ travellers who have already taken on a flexible approach to plane tickets, and discover what dream getaway PayLater Travel can unlock for you?
