Book now pay later flights??

What_to_do_now?

Hi

Does anyone know of a company where you can book your flights now but pay later or in instalments (rather like a package holiday)
I am looking for flights to Faro from the midlands and want to get them booked sooner rather than later but haven't quite saved enough for the total price - thanks for your help

sometimes https://www.airflights.co.uk allow you to do this

We often book flights and a car as a tailor made fly-drive package from Trailfinders because we then only pay a deposit when booking and the balance isn't due until 2 months before we fly.
I always price up separately and their prices are usually only £10-£20 more, so the convenience of not having to pay up front makes it worth it, for us.

Thank you for those two tips, I'll certainly look into both of those companies

I've heard FlightCenter have allowed people to do that before? Don't know whether that's right or not?

We have done this with Dial A Flight for our flights to Australia, paid a small deposit and now I just transfer bits and bobs as I can afford it to bring the total down. Final payment 1 month before we leave. They also added hotels to the booking and I paid a deposit for those as well.

The agents mentioned above are selling long haul scheduled flights not low cost carriers. Easyjet, Jet2 and Ryanair all require full payment at the time of booking. The only carriers flying where you want to go who might do deposits are charter carriers such as Thomson and Thomas Cook. Certainly if you book a package with them, they would happy with a deposit but not sure they do the same for flights

Also Trailfinders don't add a charge if you pay by credit card.

Travelbag has allowed us to do this for our holiday to the US next year. You can just pay £100 deposit each and the rest to be settled 15 weeks before the flights I believe.

I was worried that the flights might go up (as we got them on sale) so I paid for these but thats optional

All fares between BHX/CVT/EMA/LTN and Faro on a flight only basis are Instant Purchase. These rules are set by the airlines.

Hi, thanks for all your help and suggestions, both netflights and airflights will allow us to book flights now and pay a few months before departure - thanks again
