How To Make Your Plane Tickets Cheaper Using Payment Options?



Using the payment options available for booking flights might be one of the most understated ways of finding the low cost plane tickets, but this is something which shall not be ignored in the overall objective of finding the lowest fares. People who make online purchases are well aware of what all payment options would be available for them to make the payments. These are debit cards, credit cards, net banking, wallets and ‘pay later’ schemes.

While the use of net banking and debit cards result in direct deduction of amounts from your accounts, other options offer flexibility of payments. There are companies which have identified that in the wake of increasing airfares, it might not be possible for many passengers to pay the full ticket price in one go. These companies or banking institutions provide the facility to pay the amount over a period of time.  This happens with both the credit cards and the ‘book now, pay later’ schemes. The credit cards give relief for a few days, say 15-20 days. However, the other schemes spread out the cost of ticket over a period of time, which can be in months.

With these payment options, passengers have the option to fly not only the economy class, but also go for the higher classes of travel which come with pricier ticket fares. This facility of late payment and in installment, albeit the total amount paid is a little higher than actual ticket price, is a great advantage to people who are curious for business and first class cabin experience.

By paying late, passengers reduce the burden of immediate payment and can utilize these funds elsewhere. This way they are able to manage their finances better. At the same time, the companies offering these schemes begin to earn the interest income from passengers. This is a win-win situation for both the passengers and the companies.

These companies did brisk business during and after the Covid-19 pandemic wherever the flights were operable since the passengers were having focused on saving more since there were no earnings.  When this is used along with the deals and discounts, there is not much of financial burden on passengers.

 Of late, you would have seen that the airlines are beginning to offer a totally new set of fares, called the ‘Green’ fares. These fares are the outcome of the efforts made by the airline companies towards moving to green fuels and helping support projects working for zero CO2 emissions. It is common knowledge that aviation industry is responsible for pollution of the environment since it makes use of the aviation grade kerosene for propulsion. With the development of the alternative sustainable fuel options, called SAF in short, this issue is sought to be addressed. However, due to the level of technological development and extent of infrastructure developed, which has kept price of air tickets at high level, the airlines have not yet moved to 100% usage of this fuel in all the flights. Airlines, however, started collecting funds from its customers, as a part of the air ticket price, to fund the projects that are working for achieving zero carbon foot print in their processes. W...
