Liat Air pay later

Can You Pay Later on Liat Air?

Yes, on Every Route They Fly, on Laters.com

Yes. You can book Liat Air on Laters.com, choose a pay later plan inside the checkout, and receive your e-ticket straight away. It works on every route Liat Air flies and every fare class it sells, so the plan is decided at the payment screen and not before you search.

Paying later is a payment method at the Laters.com checkout, not something Liat Air has to switch on, so it works on every route we ticket. Search the route, pick a provider on the payment screen, choose a plan, and your e-ticket arrives once payment is approved. Which plans you see depends on your booking country, not your airline, and checkout shows only plans your fare qualifies for, so nothing needs working out in advance.

A plan leaves the fare, the baggage allowance, the seat and what the fare earns in Liat Air Club untouched. You fly as Liat Air's own passenger on Liat Air's own fare rules, and only the paying is spread. Interest-free plans run a soft eligibility check that does not affect your credit score; interest-bearing monthly financing runs a full credit check. Approval is never guaranteed on either. Prefer no plan? Pay in full by card or crypto at the same checkout.

Laters.com vs booking direct

Why buy Liat Air flights with Laters.com?

Booking direct with the airline is a reasonable choice for a straight card payment. What it does not give you is one search across every airline we sell, or the choice of pay-later plans the Laters.com checkout carries. Pay-later plans are credit, so only split a fare if you are sure you can repay it. The ticket does not change: it is the same Liat Air ticket, issued on the airline's own fare rules, with the same baggage allowance, seat selection and Liat Air Club earning.

The Laters.com Airline Quality Score - Liat Air

Cyan cartoon hand making a peace sign with black outline sticker style illustration

What is the Laters.com Airline Quality Score?

Our editorial rating, out of 10, for what an airline is actually like to fly once you have booked it.

  1. 1Reliability & operations
  2. 2Comfort & experience
  3. 3Value & network
  4. 4Professional airline rating

Every airline we ticket is scored on the same 4 measures, so you can compare them like for like before you book. See the full methodology See all airline scores →

Scored by the Laters.com editorial team from the airline’s own published specifications and named third-party measurements. No airline pays to be rated, no placement is sold, and this page contains no affiliate links.

Liat Air scores 4.3 out of 10: the plain average of the measures below, rounded to one decimal. Each measure is an editorial assessment of the published facts.

What to watch

  • No free checked bag on Special and Regular fares
  • Wi-Fi not available; snacks only on some flights
  • Change fee USD $75 plus fare difference on Special fares
  • Seat pitch unpublished; no on-time figure confirmed

4 measures, scored the same way for every airline we ticket.

Reliability & operations5/10

No on-time performance figure from a named body is confirmed, which holds this at 5. The fleet is two types, ATR 42-600 and Embraer ERJ 145, with no airline-published counts, and operations began on 6 August 2024. The minimum connection time at ANU is unconfirmed, so allow generous margins on self-connections.

Sources: Wikipedia: Liat Air

Comfort & experience4/10

Seat pitch and width are not published for Economy, and that gap holds this at 4. Wi-Fi is not available, and complimentary snacks and a beverage come only on some flights, so bring your own food. Carry-on is one 7 kg piece, 45 x 33 x 20 cm, plus a small personal item.

Sources: Liat Air FAQ · Liat Air Conditions of Carriage

Value & network5/10

Special and Regular fares include no checked bag, and the first bag costs USD $30, the second USD $60 and the third USD $150. That holds this at 5. Flexible and Fully Flexible fares include one 50 lb bag, and Fully Flexible changes are free. Liat Air Club membership is free, per an August 2026 press report.

Sources: Liat Air Conditions of Carriage · Liat Air Ticket Fare Rules · Liat Air FAQ

Professional airline rating3/10

No star rating, rating body or named award is confirmed for Liat Air, which holds this at 3. No award or rating has been published for this airline, which is not a verdict on the airline. Judge it on the fares, fees and fleet detail in the other measures. Liat Air was founded in 2020, flying the ATR 42-600 and Embraer ERJ 145, and the record from this relaunch is still short.

What we deliberately left out

  1. Safety. It is not a marketing metric and we will not rank carriers on it.
  2. Cancellation rate and fleet age. Omitted rather than estimated, until a sourced field exists for every airline.
  3. Any sub-metric we cannot attribute. An unsourced measure is dropped, not guessed.
  4. Blended third-party scores that mix in inputs we have already rejected elsewhere on this page.

FAQs: Booking Liat Air and Paying Later

Everything about booking Liat Air flights on Laters.com and splitting the fare, plus the airline’s own rules that decide what you get.

Can I book Liat Air flights on Laters and pay later?

Yes. Laters works on every airline, route and fare class at checkout, so all four Liat Air fare families can be booked: Special, Regular, Flexible and Fully Flexible. Paying later is credit, so you need approval first and you repay the fare in instalments.

Does Laters add booking fees to a Liat Air fare?

Laters has no hidden booking fees. Liat Air's own charges still apply on top of the fare, for example USD $30 for a first checked bag and USD $60 for a second. Check these before you choose an instalment plan so the total you repay matches what you expect.

Is there a credit check when I pay later for Liat Air?

Pay later is credit, so your application is assessed before approval. Your Liat Air e-ticket is delivered instantly after approval, whichever of the four Liat Air fare families you pick. Only borrow an amount you are confident you can repay.

What happens if I miss an instalment on a Liat Air booking?

Missing a payment can bring extra costs and can affect your ability to borrow later, so read the repayment terms before you accept. Cancelling the flight will not clear what you owe on a Liat Air Special or Regular fare, because those fares are non-refundable. Contact the provider early if you think a payment will be late.

What if Liat Air cancels my flight? Do I get a refund?

The Liat Air refund figures on file apply to refunds you request yourself: 25% fee on Flexible, free on Fully Flexible, non-refundable on Special and Regular. This page has no confirmed rule for refunds after a Liat Air-initiated cancellation, so check Liat Air's conditions of carriage. Any refund goes through the booking you made, and you should keep making instalments until the provider confirms otherwise.

How much hand luggage can I take on Liat Air?

Liat Air allows 1 piece of hand luggage up to 7 kg and 45 x 33 x 20 cm, plus a small personal item. This applies on every fare, including Special and Regular, which carry no free checked bag.

Is a checked bag included in my Liat Air fare?

Only on Flexible and Fully Flexible fares, which include 1 checked piece of 50 lb (23 kg). Special and Regular fares include none. Otherwise a first bag costs USD $30, a second USD $60 and a third USD $150, plus USD $40 if a bag is overweight (maximum accepted weight is 70 lb).

When does check-in open and close for Liat Air flights?

Liat Air online check-in opens 24 hours before departure. Airport check-in closes 60 minutes before departure, and you must be at the gate no later than 30 minutes before. Liat Air recommends arriving at least 3 hours ahead.

Which Liat Air fare suits a bigger booking paid in instalments?

Pick the repayment length from your budget, then pick the fare. A Special or Regular fare costs USD $75 plus any fare difference to change, Flexible costs USD $25, and Fully Flexible changes are free. If your plans may shift, the flexible fares reduce the risk of paying a fee while still repaying the original fare.

Is pay later for Liat Air available in my country?

This page does not list the countries where pay later is offered, so it cannot confirm it for yours. Liat Air is based in Antigua and Barbuda and flies from V. C. Bird International Airport (ANU), but where you live decides whether you can use instalments. Check whether it is offered to you at checkout before relying on it.

Will paying later for a Liat Air flight affect my credit score?

Pay later is credit, and how it is reported depends on the provider's terms, which this page does not specify. Missed or late payments are the usual cause of damage to a credit record. Because a Liat Air Flexible fare refund carries a 25% fee and Special and Regular fares are non-refundable, only borrow for a trip you are sure you will take.

Is this the same Liat Air that stopped flying in January 2024?

Not exactly. The original LIAT (1974) ceased operations on 24 January 2024. The brand is now operated by LIAT (2020) Ltd, owned 70% by Air Peace and 30% by the Government of Antigua and Barbuda, which began operations on 6 August 2024 and has traded as Liat Air since 22 July 2025.

What do children and infants pay on Liat Air?

A Liat Air child fare (ages 2 to 11) is 75% of the base fare, and an infant under 2 without a seat is 10% of the base fare. If you are splitting a family booking into instalments, the lower child and infant fares reduce the total you borrow.

How do I arrange special assistance or travel with a pet on Liat Air?

Liat Air asks for special assistance requests at least 48 hours before the flight. Pets travel only in the hold, in an IATA-approved crate with a passenger accompanying them, and Liat Air charges a fee per animal. Trained service dogs are accepted without charge, as are mobility aids such as wheelchairs and walkers.

Does Liat Air have a loyalty program I can use?

Liat Air's frequent-flyer program is Liat Air Club. Membership is free and, according to an airline statement reported in August 2026, members earn one point per dollar spent, redeemable for flights and excess baggage. Tier names and point expiry are not confirmed here.

Which country owns Liat Air?

Liat Air is registered in Antigua and Barbuda, where its head office sits, but the controlling stake is foreign: Nigeria's Air Peace holds 70% through Air Peace Caribbean, and the Government of Antigua and Barbuda holds the remaining 30%, per ch-aviation and CBC Barbados. Antigua's Prime Minister has publicly disputed the valuation behind that split and said the country may seek a larger share later, so treat the exact percentages as current rather than fixed.

Is Liat Air still operating?

Yes, under a different legal entity than the airline most travelers remember. The original LIAT (1974) ceased operations on 24 January 2024. A new company, LIAT (2020) Ltd, began commercial flights later that year and rebranded as Liat Air on 22 July 2025. That relaunched carrier is the one Laters.com sells tickets for.

What happened to Liat Air?

The airline most people know as LIAT (founded 1974) stopped flying on 24 January 2024 after years of financial strain. Antigua and Barbuda, backed by a 70% investment from Nigeria's Air Peace, relaunched regional service under a new company, LIAT (2020) Ltd, which started flying later in 2024 and took the trading name Liat Air in July 2025.

Is Liat Air still flying?

Yes. Liat Air flies a small regional fleet of ATR 42-600 and Embraer ERJ 145 aircraft out of its hub at V. C. Bird International Airport (ANU) in Antigua. Fleet aircraft counts are not published, so this is a route network, not a long-haul operation.

Who owns Liat Air?

Two parties: Air Peace Caribbean, the Caribbean arm of Nigerian carrier Air Peace, holds a reported 70% stake (an investment put at USD $65 million), and the Government of Antigua and Barbuda holds the other 30% (about USD $20 million). It is a joint public-private relaunch of the regional carrier, not a single owner.

Is Liat Air still flying?

Yes, as Liat Air. Confirm your exact flight at checkout, since the airline relaunched in 2024 under new ownership and a new name, and route and schedule details can differ from what older Liat Air booking information shows. Laters.com's checkout always pulls the airline's current fare, not an archived one.

What countries does Liat Air fly to?

As of a 28 December 2025 listing, Liat Air serves Barbados, Tortola, Cartagena, Dominica, Punta Cana, Santo Domingo, Grenada, Georgetown in Guyana, Kingston, Montego Bay, St Kitts, Saint Lucia, Sint Maarten and Port of Spain in Trinidad, from its Antigua hub. Routes on a relaunched regional carrier can change, so confirm availability for your dates at checkout.

Does Liat Air fly to Trinidad?

Yes. Port of Spain, Trinidad's capital, is on Liat Air's current destination list alongside its other Eastern Caribbean routes from Antigua.

Who is Liat Air?

Liat Air is the Eastern Caribbean regional airline of Antigua and Barbuda. It trades as Liat Air and is owned by Air Peace and the Government of Antigua and Barbuda, with Air Peace holding the majority. No star rating or award has been confirmed for it, so none is claimed here.

The hub is V. C. Bird International Airport (ANU) in Antigua. We could not confirm an alliance. The loyalty scheme is Liat Air Club, which is free to join. Caribbean Today, reporting an airline statement, says members earn points on what they spend and can redeem them for flights and excess baggage.

On board, there is no Wi-Fi. Complimentary snacks and a beverage are served on some flights. Checked baggage depends on the fare: Flexible and Fully Flexible fares include a bag, and Special and Regular fares do not.

Paying later changes when you pay, not what you buy. The fare is the same as paying by card, the baggage allowance is the one your fare carries, loyalty earning follows your fare class, and the ticket is issued on Liat Air's own rules. You fly as Liat Air's own passenger and spread the cost.

Paying later is credit. A soft credit check may apply, some plans carry interest, and a missed instalment has consequences with the provider, including a possible late fee. Only split a fare you are confident you can repay.

Fleet and on-time performance

Liat Air runs a mixed fleet of two types from two manufacturers: the ATR 42-600 and the Embraer ERJ 145. Neither is a long-haul type, so this is a regional operation, not a long-haul fleet. The latest listing we read names Barbados, Tortola, Cartagena, Dominica, Punta Cana, Santo Domingo, Grenada, Georgetown in Guyana, Kingston, Montego Bay, St Kitts, Saint Lucia, Sint Maarten and Port of Spain.

These are the types in service when last confirmed, and deliveries and retirements change them. Aircraft counts and punctuality are also absent, as no airline page or named measurement body supplied them. Cancellation rate and fleet age are left out rather than estimated, because neither has been confirmed.
