Split any Lufthansa fare at the Laters.com checkout with Klarna, Paypal and more. Laters.com adds no booking fee, and none of our providers charge extra for paying later.
Yes. Book Lufthansa on Laters.com, pick a pay-later plan inside the checkout, and get the e-ticket straight away. This applies on every route Lufthansa flies and every fare class, from Economy through Premium Economy, Business and First.
Paying later is a payment method at the Laters.com checkout, not something Lufthansa has to switch on, which is why it works on every route we ticket. Search the route, choose a provider on the payment screen, pick a plan, and the e-ticket arrives as soon as payment is approved. Which plans someone sees is set by the country they book from, not by the airline they fly, and checkout shows only the plans their fare qualifies for, so there is nothing to work out in advance.
An instalment plan leaves the fare alone, and the baggage allowance, and the seat, and what the fare class earns in Miles & More. The traveller flies as Lufthansa's own passenger on Lufthansa's own fare rules, and only the paying is spread. Interest-free instalment plans run a soft eligibility check that does not affect a credit score, interest-bearing monthly financing runs a full credit check, and approval is never guaranteed on either. A reader who wants no plan at all can still pay in full by card, or with crypto, at the same checkout.
Provider availability is drawn from the live Laters.com checkout configuration and varies by market. Airline rules are as published by Lufthansa.
Lufthansa has no instalment option at its own checkout. Every provider here is one you reach by booking the same Lufthansa flight through Laters.com. Which cards you see depends on the country you book from, not the airline: global names like Klarna, Clearpay and Afterpay come first, regional wallets after. Splitting covers the whole booking including add-ons, but the fare, baggage allowance and Miles & More earning stay Lufthansa's own.
Klarna spreads a Lufthansa fare into four interest-free payments a fortnight apart, a fit for a short-haul hop rather than a long-haul or premium fare beyond its cap. It covers several of the markets Lufthansa flies between, and missed payments may incur fees.

A Lufthansa fare that's too steep to spread is exactly why this list exists. Every carrier below takes the same pay-later providers at the Laters.com checkout, so switching airlines never costs the payment plan, only the flight itself changes. Swiss and Austrian sell connecting itineraries on the same Lufthansa Group bookings, so miles and status there carry across without a second thought, while Air France, KLM, British Airways and Turkish Airlines are separate loyalty worlds, meaning any Miles & More balance stops earning the moment you book them. On product, British Airways is the closest genuine rival, matching Lufthansa's four-cabin long-haul layout, and Turkish Airlines widens the net furthest for onward connections across Europe, Asia and Africa. The trade-off is real: Lufthansa's own Economy Basic fare on short-haul routes limits you to a personal item only, so a switch built purely on baggage allowance needs checking against what each of these carriers actually includes.
A sister Lufthansa Group carrier, so its European and long-haul network overlaps closely with Lufthansa's own routes. Booking through the same group means loyalty and connections tend to line up rather than compete, with the pay-later plan unaffected either way.
A rival European full-service hub carrier flying similar long-haul routes to Lufthansa. It's a genuine head-to-head on network reach rather than a group partner, so expect a separate loyalty programme and no automatic miles crossover.
Competes directly for the same city pairs through its own Northwest European connecting hub, making it one of the closer network rivals here. As with Air France, switching means stepping outside Lufthansa's loyalty world entirely.
The clearest product match for Lufthansa on this list, running a comparable four-cabin long-haul offer. That makes it the one worth comparing seat for seat, not just route for route, if cabin quality is the deciding factor.
A Lufthansa Group partner selling connecting itineraries on the same bookings, so it functions more as an extension of Lufthansa's network than a true alternative. Expect the closest alignment on loyalty of any carrier on this grid.
Offers the widest onward reach of the set, connecting Europe with Asia and Africa through its own hub. The strongest pick here for onward network breadth, though it sits outside Lufthansa's loyalty programme.
This is a calculator, not a brochure. Set a Lufthansa fare and every plan shape below prices itself against that number, so you see actual instalments rather than a general pitch for paying later.

Illustrative only. The figures above are computed from the fare you set: plain division for the interest-free plans, and each plan's own illustrative rate over its stated term for monthly financing. They are not an offer, a quote, or a prediction of what you will be given. Laters.com is not the lender and takes no part in the decision: which plans appear, the instalment amounts, any interest and fees, and whether you are eligible at all are determined by the provider alone, and depend on a credit or eligibility assessment, your country and your basket. The only way to see your real plans is to choose a provider at checkout, at which point that provider, not Laters.com, approves or declines the purchase. All plans, rates, fees and terms are estimates only and subject to approval and to change.

Search, choose how to pay, and get your e-ticket, usually in three screens and a few minutes. It's the same flow on every airline we ticket, and it works on every route Lufthansa flies.
Search Lufthansa on Laters.com and its fares sit beside every other carrier flying that route, connections included, in one set of results. Compare schedules and prices side by side, then pick the flight that suits you.
At checkout, pick a pay-later provider and it makes the decision, often within seconds, though some run a full credit check. Approval is never guaranteed. No provider, rate, or term is fixed until you see it there.
Once the provider approves and your first instalment is taken at booking, Lufthansa issues the e-ticket and emails it to you. The provider then collects the remaining instalments automatically, on its own schedule.
Booking direct with the airline at lufthansa.com is a reasonable choice if you're paying by card in full. But Lufthansa sells no pay-later plan at its own checkout, so the fare can't be split there, and its site only ever shows you Lufthansa flights. Book the same flight through Laters.com and you get the same ticket, issued on Lufthansa's own fare rules, with the same baggage allowance, seat selection and Miles & More earning, plus the option to spread the cost.

The routes grid above is for booking once you know your dates. This one is for the stage before that, when the question is still where to go rather than when to fly. Wherever the answer takes you, every fare on this grid can be split into instalments at checkout, subject to approval.
Ruins, espresso standing up at the bar, a city that rewards wandering without a plan. Fly into Fiumicino, a short hop that suits a quick weekend fare more than a long-haul splurge.
Brazil's engine room: food, nightlife, a skyline that never quite stops. Landing at Guarulhos, this is the longest haul on the list, a fare shape worth spreading across a few instalments.
Late dinners, a museum that could swallow a week, a football rivalry you'll hear about whether you ask or not. Arrive at Barajas on a mid-length fare, priced between the short hops and the long-haul runs.
White sand, warm water, a week where the biggest decision is which beach chair. Landing direct, it's the kind of holiday fare that suits paying a little at a time rather than all at once.
Free museums, cherry blossoms if the timing lands, politics as a spectator sport. Fly into Dulles, a transatlantic route that sits comfortably mid-pack for price against the rest of this list.
Lake views, watch shops you can't afford, mountains close enough for a day trip. One of the shorter European hops here, a fare small enough to book without much thought.
Street food stalls, motorbike traffic as its own kind of theatre, history layered on every corner. Landing at Tan Son Nhat, this is a long-haul run best split across several instalments.
A Brazilian city most travellers have never heard of, which is exactly the draw for the curious. A long-haul fare into central Brazil, worth spreading out rather than paying in one go.

Everything about booking a Lufthansa flight on Laters.com and splitting the fare, plus the airline’s own rules that decide what you get.
Yes, Laters.com lets you search Lufthansa flights and complete the booking with one of 100+ payment methods, including buy now, pay later plans like Klarna and Paypal. You choose the plan at checkout and split the fare into instalments instead of paying the full amount upfront. The booking itself is confirmed directly with Lufthansa once payment is arranged.
Eligibility for a pay-later plan on a Lufthansa booking depends on the specific finance provider offered at checkout, not on Lufthansa or Laters.com. Providers typically check your age, location, and financial history before approving a plan. Approval and the instalment terms you're offered can vary from one traveller to the next.
Yes, most pay-later plans for a Lufthansa booking involve some form of credit check by the finance provider, ranging from a soft check to a full credit assessment depending on the plan and amount. This is a real credit product, so only commit to instalments you can comfortably repay. Missing payments can lead to fees and may affect your credit file.
Missing an instalment on a Lufthansa booking can result in late fees, interest, or referral to collections, depending on the terms of the specific pay-later provider you selected. Some providers may also report missed payments to credit reference agencies, which can affect your credit score. Always check the provider's repayment schedule and terms before confirming the plan, and only borrow what you can repay on time.
It can. Depending on the provider, applying for a pay-later plan may trigger a credit check that leaves a mark on your file, and how you repay the instalments, on time or late, can also be reported to credit reference agencies. Because this is a credit product, treat it the same as any other borrowing and confirm the provider's specific reporting practices before you commit.
If Lufthansa cancels a flight, you're generally entitled to a refund under Lufthansa's own conditions of carriage, and that refund is applied to the original payment method, including a pay-later plan. In practice this means outstanding instalments are typically adjusted or cancelled once the refund is processed by the finance provider. Check Lufthansa's conditions of carriage and your provider's terms for the exact timeline, since processing isn't instant.
If you cancel your own Lufthansa booking, any refund depends on the fare rules attached to your ticket rather than on the fact that you paid with instalments. Refundable fares are returned to your original payment method, while non-refundable fares may only yield a partial credit or nothing at all. Manage or check your booking through Lufthansa's own booking portal for the exact rules on your fare.
For a bigger Lufthansa fare, such as Business or First, compare the instalment length, total cost, and any fees across the providers offered at Laters.com checkout, since a longer plan spreads the cost further but can add more interest. Pick a schedule where each instalment fits your budget comfortably rather than the plan with the lowest monthly figure alone. Because this is credit, only choose a plan you're confident you can repay in full and on time.
No, pay-later availability for a Lufthansa booking depends on which finance providers operate in your country, so the specific plans shown at Laters.com checkout will vary by location. Not every provider offered on the site operates in every market. Check the options presented at checkout for your billing country to see what's actually available to you.
Lufthansa offers Economy, Premium Economy, Business, and First cabins. Premium Economy and First are long-haul only, and the Economy Basic short-haul fare comes with a personal item only rather than a full carry-on allowance. You can pay for any of these cabins later using a plan selected at checkout.
Lufthansa's carry-on allowance is 1 piece up to 8 kg, sized to a maximum of 55 x 40 x 23 cm. Checked baggage depends on cabin: 23 kg in Economy and Premium Economy, and 32 kg in Business and First. On long-haul routes the piece concept applies instead, with Economy getting 1 x 23 kg, Premium Economy 2 x 23 kg, Business 2 x 32 kg, and First 3 x 32 kg, each piece capped at 158 cm.
Online check-in for Lufthansa opens 30 hours before departure. You manage your booking and check in through Lufthansa's own portal using the booking reference from your Laters.com confirmation, regardless of which pay-later plan you used to pay for the ticket.
Yes, Lufthansa's loyalty program is called Miles & More. You can still earn Miles & More miles on a Lufthansa flight booked through Laters.com even if you paid for it using an instalment plan, since the airline sees the ticket the same way regardless of payment method.
Yes, Lufthansa allows dogs and cats to travel either in the cabin or in the hold, for a fee, with a maximum of 2 animals per passenger. Pet fees are paid separately according to Lufthansa's own policy and aren't part of the instalment plan for your ticket fare.
You need to register any special assistance requirements with Lufthansa at least 48 hours before departure. This applies regardless of how you paid for the ticket, so make sure to contact Lufthansa or use their booking portal well ahead of your flight to arrange it.
No, paying later doesn't change the underlying fare rules or conditions of carriage attached to your Lufthansa ticket. Those terms, including what's refundable and what isn't, are set by Lufthansa itself and apply the same way whether you paid in full or through instalments. Review Lufthansa's conditions of carriage for the specifics that apply to your fare.
Yes, as Germany's flag carrier, Lufthansa offers German-language support at every stage of travel, including German-speaking crew, pilots and in-flight service. See our full list of airlines that speak German for other carriers with the same support.
Lufthansa is Germany's flag carrier, flying under the IATA code LH. Its loyalty programme, Miles & More, opens with an entry tier and rewards regular flyers with a top tier reached by building up status over time.
Flying with Lufthansa means a choice of four cabins. Short-haul Economy Basic keeps to a personal item, while Premium Economy, Business and First are reserved for long-haul flying, with First offering the airline's fullest service. Every fare carries its own baggage allowance and its own carry-on limit, and every fare earns Miles & More miles at the rate that fare class sets.
Booking through Laters.com and paying in instalments changes none of that. The fare is identical to paying by card in one go, the checked baggage allowance is the one the fare carries, and mileage earning follows the fare class booked. The ticket is issued on Lufthansa's own conditions of carriage, so travellers fly as Lufthansa passengers throughout and simply spread the cost of the ticket over time. Paying later is a form of credit, so it's worth treating it that way: a missed instalment has consequences with the credit provider, separate from anything Lufthansa itself does with the booking.
Lufthansa's own researched fleet data was not confirmed at the time this page was written, so no aircraft types, fleet count or fleet age appear here rather than being estimated. What can be said plainly is what paying later doesn't touch: whichever aircraft operates a given route, the fare, baggage allowance and mileage earning follow the ticket, not the airframe. Cancellation rate is also left out for the same reason: no sourced figure for it was supplied, and a page about a regulated credit product shouldn't fill that gap with a guess.
Search your route, pick your payment provider at checkout, and choose a plan that fits your budget. Your e-ticket is issued once the payment is approved, and the ticket is the same one the airline would issue you directly.
Laters.com is operated by Fly Fairly Pte. Ltd., a travel agent licensed by the Singapore Tourism Board under licence TA04059. We are the merchant for every booking on this page: we sell the ticket and earn from the fare, which is the same whichever payment method you choose. No airline and no payment provider pays us for placement.
Buy now, pay later is a credit product. Only commit to instalments you can genuinely afford. Missed payments can result in late fees, may be reported to credit reference agencies, and may affect your credit standing. Review your provider’s terms before confirming a plan.
