Problem
Flight tickets are often a significant upfront expense, and fares can rise quickly, making it difficult for travelers to book at the right time when they do not have the full amount available immediately. Traditional travel agencies typically require full payment upfront or offer limited, rigid payment options, which can delay or prevent bookings for time-sensitive trips such as family visits, weddings, or last-minute flights home.
Solution
Laters.com is an online travel agency that provides a flight search and booking platform supporting buy now, pay later. Travelers can search and book flights from 650+ airlines and choose from over 100 ways to pay at a single checkout, including pay-later providers such as Klarna, Afterpay, Affirm, and Zip, alongside digital wallets, cards, bank transfers, and 70+ cryptocurrencies. The airline ticket is issued at the time of booking and the fare is locked in at today's price, while the installment plan runs through the chosen provider afterwardhay. This approach enables travelers to secure their flight immediately and spread the cost over time, without waiting for payday or risking fare increases.
