Book Tabby Flights

Booking flights with Tabby is possible on Laters.com wherever airlines and fares support it, letting you split the fare into interest-free instalments instead of paying the full amount upfront. Tabby is a credit product, so approval depends on a checkout eligibility check and isn't guaranteed for every traveller or fare. Availability and exact plan options can vary by airline and country, so confirm current terms at Information on Tabby before you book.

Your e-ticket is typically issued once Tabby approves your payment and the airline confirms the booking, so timing depends on both the checkout decision and the airline's own processing. With Pay in 4, only 25% is paid upfront, with the rest due monthly, and the fare is still owed on that schedule even though the ticket may already be in your inbox. Check your booking confirmation email or account with the airline and Laters.com to verify your ticket has been issued.

Tabby performs an eligibility assessment at checkout to decide whether to approve your payment plan, and this can function like a credit check depending on your market. Missing payments afterward can lead to collection charges and may affect your credit standing, so treat the plan as real credit rather than a free perk. For details on how Tabby's checks work in your country, visit Information on Tabby.

Missing a Tabby payment on a flight booking can trigger collection charges, and in the UAE, customers are charged collection charges if they miss a payment due date. Late payments may also affect your credit score, so it's worth treating the instalment dates as firm commitments, not flexible suggestions. If you think you'll miss a due date, contact Tabby through your account before the payment fails rather than after.

For a pricier fare, Tabby's longer pay-over-time option (up to 12 monthly payments) is designed for bigger purchases at select merchants, though it's a merchant-driven feature and not available everywhere. Plans with more than four payments include a pre-agreed Murabaha profit shown at checkout, and a service fee may also apply, so the total cost is higher than the interest-free Pay in 4 or Pay in 3 options. Compare the total repayable amount shown at checkout before choosing, since a longer plan spreads cost but doesn't necessarily reduce it.

Tabby's flight-friendly plans are confirmed in the UAE and KSA, where Pay in 3, Pay in 4, and the pay-over-time option are all available. Tabby also operates more broadly across Kuwait, Bahrain, Egypt, and Qatar, though plan availability for flights specifically should be confirmed for your market. Currency support follows the local market, including AED, SAR, KWD, BHD, EGP, and QAR, so check Information on Tabby for your country's current options.

Tabby doesn't publish a cabin-class restriction in its plan terms, so premium and business-class fares can generally go through the same Pay in 4, Pay in 3, or pay-over-time plans as economy fares, subject to approval. Because approval is decided at checkout and larger fares may be steered toward the longer pay-over-time option (which carries Murabaha profit and a possible service fee), the cost of splitting a premium fare can be higher than for an economy one. Confirm eligibility for higher-value bookings directly with Tabby before you commit to a premium fare.

If a flight is cancelled or refunded, the refund process runs through the airline and Laters.com first, and Tabby then adjusts your remaining instalments once it receives the refunded funds. Any instalments already paid are typically refunded back through the same method, while future instalments not yet due should stop being collected once the cancellation is processed. Refund timing depends on the airline's own policy, so review the fare rules at booking and contact Tabby support if instalments continue after a confirmed cancellation.

Using Tabby responsibly, meaning paying each instalment on time, is unlikely to cause problems, but missed payments are a different story. In the UAE, late payments may affect your credit score in addition to triggering collection charges, so on-time repayment matters if you care about your credit standing. Treat each instalment date as a real deadline and set reminders, since the impact of missing one can outlast the flight itself.

Tabby doesn't publish a fixed spending limit for flights. Your limit is set at checkout based on Tabby's own assessment of your account, so a fare that's approved for one traveller may be declined for another. Larger fares are more likely to be routed to the longer Pay over time plan, which isn't interest-free — check the total repayable before you accept it.

Airline miles and rewards are determined by the airline and your fare, not by Tabby, so paying with Tabby shouldn't change whether a fare earns miles. What can differ is whether the airline treats a split payment differently for fare class or promotional eligibility, which is worth checking with the airline directly. Tabby itself doesn't publish a miles or rewards program tied to flight bookings, so don't expect extra points for choosing to split the payment.

Tabby processes payment and personal details through its own checkout flow, separate from the airline's and Laters.com's own systems, which limits how many parties see your full payment information. Specific security certifications and data-handling practices aren't detailed in Tabby's public flight-booking terms, so travellers with security-specific questions should check directly with Tabby. As with any online payment method, use a secure connection and avoid completing checkout on public Wi-Fi when entering personal or payment details.

Sale and discounted fares are generally still available when choosing Tabby at checkout, since the instalment plan is a payment method layered on top of the fare Laters.com displays, not a separate pricing tier. The amount split across instalments is based on the fare total at the time of booking, including any discount already applied. Tabby doesn't offer additional spend-based discounts, so the saving comes from the fare itself, not from the payment plan.

You don't need a pre-existing Tabby account to try booking a flight with Tabby, since the option to sign up typically appears at checkout when you select it as a payment method. You'll go through Tabby's eligibility and approval process at that point, and approval isn't guaranteed. First-time users should have a few personal and payment details ready, and can create or link an account during that checkout step, or review setup details at Information on Tabby.

Instalment payments for a flight booked with Tabby are tracked through your Tabby account or app, which shows upcoming due dates, amounts, and payment history for the plan you chose. This is separate from your Laters.com booking confirmation, so it's worth checking both to keep the full picture of what's paid and what's still owed. Setting up notifications through Tabby helps avoid missing a due date, since a missed payment can bring collection charges and affect your credit standing.

Changing or cancelling a flight booked with Tabby follows the airline's and Laters.com's own change and cancellation rules first; Tabby doesn't set flight fare conditions. Once a change or cancellation is processed and any refund issued, Tabby adjusts your remaining instalment schedule to reflect what's still owed, if anything. Because fare rules vary widely, check the specific fare conditions at booking, and contact Tabby if your instalment schedule doesn't update after a confirmed change.
