Online Flights - Deposit and pay off

Hi All,

I have had excellant quotes off a few website (expedia / travelbag etc) for flights that I want to book, but I can't afford to pay the full cost at the moment.

Are there any sites that will allow you to pay a deposit and pay the rest off - like a normal travel agent would?

Thanks

DJ

    a good question & to be honest I don't know the answer.

    However if you had/could get a 0% credit card it wouldn't matter.

    Just a thought.

    It is the airlines that impose payment conditions, not necessarily the websites and travel agents.

    'Inclusive Tour' fares through travel agents often allow you to pay a deposit and then the full amount 8 weeks before you fly, but you have to buy at least 1 night in a hotel through the agent aswell to get them.

    I've used Flightline before a number of times and they allow you to pay a deposit, with the remainder payable something like 6 - 8 weeks before departure.
