Book Now, Pay Later

• If your flight departs from Australia, Canada, France, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, the United Kingdom or the United States, you may be offered the option to put your booking on hold.
• The option to pay later and the length of time you have to pay will depend on your fare conditions and the time until your chosen departure date. The date on which complete payment is due is displayed on the Payment and Confirmation pages during the booking process.
• While your booking is on hold, the total ticket price may change due to amendments in taxes, fees and carrier charges, as well as fare adjustments. 
• Payment must be made in full on or before midnight (11.59pm) of the due date advised at the time of booking. If you don't pay the fare in full on or before the due date, your booking will be cancelled. The time zone used to calculate midnight for your booking will be advised when you choose the Book now, Pay Later option.
