Fly Now, Pay Later: Flair Airlines Launches Flexible Payment Options for Travellers through Flex Pay

San Francisco - December 19, 2024

We’re excited to announce our partnership with Flair Airlines, Canada’s leading low-fare, green airline that brings Flex Pay, Upgrade’s Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) solution, to Flair’s customers, empowering their travellers to spread the cost of their trips over time.

“At Flair Airlines, we are on a mission to provide affordable air travel that connects our travellers to the people and experiences they love,” said Juliana Ramirez, VP of Digital & Ancillary at Flair. “We are constantly looking for new ways to enhance our offerings and empower more travellers to travel more frequently, for less. By leveraging Flex Pay, we’re providing a convenient payment alternative that enables payment flexibility for our customers to book now and pay later.”

With an expanding fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft, Flair serves dozens of cities across Canada, the U.S., Jamaica, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic. This Flex Pay offering will provide Flair’s customers with the option of spreading the cost of their trips over low monthly payments.

Flex Pay is available at over 750 of the world’s top travel and retail brands, to help more consumers make meaningful purchases and experience the travel they deserve.

“We’re pleased to welcome Flair to the Flex Pay travel family, and together we will provide even more Canadian travellers access to the many destinations Flair serves,” said Denise Heffron, Managing Director, Commercial, Flex Pay. “Flex Pay has a proven track record with airlines, and we look forward to partnering closely with Flair to provide even more flexibility and choice for their customers.”

Flex Pay is integrated into Flair’s online booking platform, offering a frictionless shopping and booking experience for all passengers. Flex Pay can be used for flights as well as bundles that include seat assignments, insurance, baggage, and more.

“We are excited to work with the Flex Pay team as we elevate our brand offerings to our passengers,” finishes Ramirez. “With low monthly fees, an easy-to-use booking process, automated payments, and more, this partnership is just another way that Flair is offering more to travellers for less, on their terms.”
