Yes, on Spring Airlines Flights Sold at the Laters.com Checkout
Yes. You can book Spring Airlines flights on Laters.com and split the fare into an instalment plan or pay later, where a provider is offered at checkout for the country you book from. The ticket is a normal Spring Airlines ticket under the airline's own conditions of carriage, and your e-ticket arrives once the booking is ticketed.
Paying later is a payment method at the Laters.com checkout, not something Spring Airlines has to switch on, which is why it works on any Spring Airlines flight we can 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 you see is set by the country you book from, not by the airline you fly, so checkout shows only the plans your booking qualifies for.
An instalment plan leaves the fare alone, and the baggage allowance, and the seat, and what the fare class earns in any loyalty scheme. You fly as Spring Airlines's own passenger on Spring Airlines'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, while interest-bearing monthly financing runs a full credit check, and approval is never guaranteed on either. If you would rather not use a plan, you can still pay in full by card, or with crypto, at the same checkout.
Providers are the APAC list at the Laters.com checkout; your booking shows the ones offered.
Split the fare on Spring Airlines flights at the Laters.com checkout with the pay-later providers for APAC. Plans and approval depend on the provider and your booking; Laters.com charges no booking fees or payment surcharges.
This is a calculator, not a brochure. Set a Spring Airlines fare and every plan shape below prices itself against that number, showing what each split would actually look like before you book.

Huabei Installment over three months for bookings from mainland China, where Alipay offers it; you pay a service charge set in the contract.
Huabei Installment over six months through Alipay in mainland China, with a consumer-paid service charge; approval is Alipay's decision.
The longest Huabei term, twelve monthly instalments through Alipay in mainland China; the service charge is set in the contract, so check the total before you commit.
Spring Airlines is paid in full at booking. You repay the provider on the plan you choose, and the e-ticket is issued straight away. The same instalment shape can trade under a different name depending on your provider and market.
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.
Booking direct with Spring Airlines is a fair choice if you want to pay in full by card or through a Chinese payment gateway. What it won't give you is a pay-later plan, crypto, or a search across every airline on your route. Book on Laters.com and you get the same Spring Airlines ticket under its own conditions of carriage; only how you pay changes.

Our editorial rating, out of 10, for what an airline is actually like to fly once you have booked it.
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.
Spring Airlines 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.
4 measures, scored the same way for every airline we ticket.
Reliability & operations6/10
OAG measured 73.2% of Spring Airlines flights arriving within 15 minutes in August 2026, with 2.83% cancelled and counted as not on time. That is a solid mid-table month rather than a top-tier record, so this measure sits at 6.
Comfort & experience3/10
Spring Airlines does not publish seat pitch, and the standard ticket includes only one 7 kg carry-on of up to 30 x 20 x 40 cm with no checked bag. Food, reserved seats and bags are paid extras, which keeps comfort at a basic level.
Sources: Spring Airlines baggage allowance
Value & network4/10
From its Shanghai Hongqiao and Pudong bases Spring Airlines flies over 190 domestic and more than 50 international routes, but the low fare covers only a 7 kg carry-on; a 20 kg checked bag needs SpringPlus or a separate purchase.

Baggage, fees, miles, refunds and eligibility
Everything about booking Spring Airlines flights on Laters.com and splitting the fare, plus the airline’s own rules that decide what you get.
Yes. Laters.com lets you search Spring Airlines flights and choose a pay-later or instalment plan at checkout instead of paying the full fare upfront. Your e-ticket is issued as soon as the payment is approved.
The instalment plans on Laters.com come from the payment providers shown at checkout, not from Spring Airlines. Spring Airlines is paid in full when you book, and you repay the provider on the plan you picked.
It depends on the country you book from. For bookings from mainland China, Alipay's verified plans include Huabei Installment over 3, 6 or 12 months, with a service charge you pay that is set in the contract, where Alipay is offered at checkout. WeChat Pay takes the fare in full from your wallet. Checkout shows only the plans your booking qualifies for.
Interest-free instalment plans run a soft eligibility check that doesn't affect your credit score. Interest-bearing financing runs a full credit check. Approval isn't guaranteed on either, and late fees may apply if you miss a payment.
No. You pay the same fare you would by card, with the same baggage allowance and seat, under Spring Airlines' own fare rules. Only the payment is spread out.
A standard Spring Airlines ticket includes one carry-on piece of up to 7 kg, no larger than 30 × 20 × 40 cm, on both domestic and international flights. A SpringPlus ticket raises this to 10 kg and 40 × 20 × 55 cm, according to Spring Airlines' baggage page at en.ch.com.
Not on a standard ticket. You buy a checked-bag allowance separately, and Spring Airlines says buying it online in advance costs less than at the airport counter. Online purchases close no later than 1 hour before departure, the exact cut-off varies by flight, and unused allowances aren't refundable. SpringPlus tickets include 20 kg of checked baggage.
Arrive at Spring Airlines' check-in counter and boarding gate in good time: its conditions of carriage let it refuse carriage to a passenger who misses them. Deadlines vary by airport, so check the advisories for your departure airport on en.ch.com before you fly.
Your plan and any refund are separate. A refund for a delayed or cancelled Spring Airlines flight follows the airline's own conditions of carriage, while the instalments stay with your provider, so keep paying until the provider confirms a change and contact the Laters.com support team, who take it up with the airline.
Yes, with Spring Airlines' approval. Children aged 5 to 12 flying alone must apply for Spring Airlines' unaccompanied-children service, and can only buy a ticket and fly with the airline's consent.
Yes. Under Spring Airlines' conditions of carriage each adult can carry up to two infants, and a second infant needs a ticket at the child fare and its own seat.
It is a functional low-cost airline rather than a premium one. Skytrax certifies Spring Airlines as a 3-Star Low-Cost Airline, its industry-average band, and OAG measured 73.2% of its flights arriving within 15 minutes in August 2026. The standard ticket includes a 7 kg carry-on, so compare the extras you need before you book.
Spring Airlines is based in Shanghai, at Hongqiao and Pudong airports, and says it runs over 190 domestic routes in China plus more than 50 international and regional routes in Asia. It has around 140 aircraft.
Yes. Spring Airlines' frequent flyer scheme is SpringPass, which earns SpringPass Points. What a fare earns is set by Spring Airlines' own rules and is the same whether you pay in full or with a Laters.com plan.
Yes. Spring Airlines is a low-cost carrier: Skytrax rates it as a 3-Star Low-Cost Airline, and its standard ticket includes one 7 kg carry-on of up to 30 x 20 x 40 cm with no checked bag, which you buy separately or get with SpringPlus.
Spring Airlines is controlled by Chunqiu International Travel Agency Group, the Shanghai travel company founded by Wang Zhenghua, who set up the airline in 2004. After a share transfer reported in March 2024, his eldest son Wang Yu is the travel group's largest shareholder.
No. Spring Japan is a separate Japanese airline flying under the code IJ as part of the Japan Airlines Group, with Spring Airlines keeping a 30% stake; it was renamed from Spring Airlines Japan in 2021. Spring Airlines itself is the Shanghai-based carrier with the code 9C.
Spring Airlines, Wikipedia · OAG on-time performance, August 2026 · Skytrax: Spring Airlines 3-Star Low-Cost Airline · Spring Airlines company profile
Spring Airlines is one of China's first private airlines and runs a low-cost, no-frills model from its Shanghai base, with domestic bases at both Hongqiao and Pudong. It has its own SpringPass points programme, and its standard ticket keeps the fare low by including only a small carry-on bag.
Paying later doesn't touch the fare. It's the same price you'd pay by card, with the baggage allowance that fare carries, and the ticket is issued under Spring Airlines' own conditions of carriage, so you fly as its passenger in every respect. Laters.com simply lets you spread the cost into instalments. Some plans are interest-free, others carry interest or a service charge, and a credit check may apply depending on the option. Missing a payment has consequences with the provider, so only commit to instalments you can keep up.
Spring Airlines flies an all-Airbus narrowbody fleet from its Shanghai bases. Its fleet size and on-time record appear with their sources in the key facts and the Quality Score above, because both change from month to month, and Spring Airlines does not publish seat pitch, so none is given here.
