Yes, paying for a holiday in installments is becoming an increasingly popular way to manage travel budgets in 2026. Most major "Package Holiday" providers (like TUI, Jet2Holidays, or Expedia) allow you to secure a booking with a relatively small deposit—often as low as £60 or $100—and pay the remaining balance in flexible increments, provided the full amount is settled 4 to 12 weeks before departure. Additionally, many airlines and travel sites now integrate "Buy Now, Pay Later" (BNPL) services like Klarna, Afterpay, or Affirm at checkout, which allow you to split the cost into four interest-free payments or longer-term monthly installments. Some travel-specific credit cards also offer "Plan It" features where you can move a large travel purchase into a fixed-fee monthly installment plan. While this is a great way to "lock in" early-bird pricing without a massive upfront hit to your bank account, travelers should be cautious of interest rates on longer-term loans, which can significantly increase the total cost of the trip. Always check if the installment plan is "interest-free" and ensure that the travel provider offers ATOL or ABTA protection (in the UK) so your money is safe if the company goes bust before your final payment.
