Why Choose Installment Payment For Flight Tickets?
Life in the UAE can be fast-paced, and financial flexibility is important. Installment payments let you split your flight cost into smaller, more manageable amounts. This approach offers several advantages:
- Affordable budgeting: You don’t need to pay the full ticket price upfront. Instead, you divide payments over a set period, making it easier to plan your finances.
- Immediate booking: Secure your seat right away, even if your salary or savings are not ready.
- Travel more often: With easier payments, you can plan more trips throughout the year.
- Peace of mind: Reduce financial stress by spreading the cost.
Many travelers in the UAE are already using installment options to visit family, explore new destinations, or catch last-minute deals.
Understanding Your Installment Options
At White Sky Travel and Tourism, we offer several ways to pay for your flight tickets in installments. Let’s look at the main options available:
Tabby
Tabby is a popular payment platform in the UAE and other Gulf countries. It allows you to book your ticket now and split the payment into several parts over time. Tabby is widely trusted and used for flights, hotels, and shopping.

UAE Credit Cards

Who Can Use Installment Payment Options?

- Emirates ID: You must have a valid Emirates ID.
- Mobile number: A UAE-registered phone number is needed for verification.
- Credit card: For credit card installments, your card must be issued by a UAE bank (ENBD | RAK | HSBC | ADCB | FAB | Mashreq | Liv)

If you’re unsure about your eligibility, just send us a message on WhatsApp. We’ll check your options quickly and privately.
Flight Booking Example: How Installments Work In Real Life
Let’s see how installment payments make travel easier:
Suppose you want to fly from Dubai to London. The total ticket price is AED 2,400.
With Tabby or Tamara, you can divide this amount into 4 monthly payments of AED 600 each. After paying the first AED 600, your booking is confirmed and your e-ticket is issued.
With a UAE credit card, you might choose a 6-month installment plan. Your monthly payment will be AED 400. This way, you keep your cash flow steady while still traveling when you need to.
Here’s a simple breakdown:
| Option | Total Ticket Price | Installment Period | Monthly Payment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tabby/Tamara | AED 2,400 | 4 months | AED 600 |
| UAE Credit Card | AED 2,400 | 6 months | AED 400 |
| UAE Credit Card | AED 2,400 | 12 months | AED 200 |
This example shows how installment payments can fit different budgets and travel needs.
