Travelling sooner is now possible with the launch of LayAway Travel, the first online travel layby specialist making travel accessible to everyone, whatever the budget.

LayAway Travel is the only layby travel specialist in Australia to offer hundreds of pre-packaged or design your own holidays which can be booked up to 24 months in advance, with no deposit, interest or fees.

Top pre-packaged destinations start from as little as $2.01 to Fiji, $1.73 to Thailand and $2.95 to the USA, per person, per day to stay at 3 to 5 star hotels.

This new way of booking travel is ideal for families, group travel, or anyone who has aspirations to see the world but cannot afford to pay up front.

There is a choice of instalment plans to suit any budget, which can be paid off weekly, fortnightly or monthly. You can make your first instalment straightaway or within 31 days of booking, then your final payment two months before your trip.

LayAway Travel’s managing director, Andrew Paykel said “we are thrilled to launch LayAway Travel Australia to change the travel habits of Australians by giving everyone the chance to see the world. With the rising cost of living, it’s not easy for families to get a lump sum together to book a holiday in advance without reaching for the credit card, and we all deserve a break.”

Step-by-step guide of how to book:

  1. Choose your destination. Select one of our pre-packaged holiday destinations, for travel 5 – 24 months in advance. Keeping in mind the further in advance your travel starts, the longer the layby payment term, therefore the lower your layby payment instalments. You can even add spending money to your layby plan.
  2. Select your preferred payment plan. Schedule from weekly, fortnightly or monthly payments.
  3. Start your layby payment plan online. Choose your first payment to start today or within a 31 day window, so that you can align layby instalments with your pay schedule.
  4. Get Packing! Two months before travel your final layby instalment is due, at which time tickets & your final itinerary are issued. Then it’s simply time to pack!
