Afterpay lets you pay for your Russia flight in four equal fortnightly instalments with no interest charged. It suits travellers booking from Australia or the US who want to plan well ahead without committing the full fare upfront. Your booking is confirmed and your e-ticket issued immediately.
Available globally wherever Visa/Mastercard is accepted
Splitit works differently from other BNPL providers: it uses your existing credit card limit rather than opening a new credit line, so there is no additional credit check. For Russia fares that can spike significantly during summer or New Year, spreading the cost over 3 to 12 months without new debt is a practical option.
From search to e-ticket in under three minutes.

Editorial snapshot
Flying to Russia suits a particular kind of traveller: one who does their homework, books well ahead, and is not deterred by a visa application form. Fares from Europe route through Istanbul or Dubai these days, which adds a layover but also opens up more BNPL-friendly booking windows. The payoff, once you clear passport control at Sheremetyevo, is a country of staggering scale and cultural weight.
