Affirm announced that through its partnership with American Airlines, eligible travelers have added flexibility to purchase flights and pay over time with Affirm. Affirm is bringing this added flexibility to American Airlines customers just in time for holiday travel season. According to the latest Affirm Consumer Spend Report, more than half of consumers would rather take a getaway than have a traditional family get-together this holiday season. By selecting Affirm at checkout, approved American Airlines customers can split the total cost of flights over $50 into monthly payments. As is always true with Affirm, consumers are shown the total cost of their purchase and will never pay more than they agree to upfront. Affirm also never charges consumers any late or hidden fees, and any interest is represented in a dollar amount and never increases. Select customers will now see Affirm as a payment option for eligible airfare at checkout on aa.com, and Affirm will be more broadly available to U.S. customers in the coming weeks. American Airlines joins over 29,000 Affirm merchant partners, including Ikon Pass, Target, Vrbo, Vacasa, Walmart, and more to offer customers flexible payment options.
