The integration spans online platforms and call centers, allowing travelers to see estimated payments during booking and apply quickly at checkout.

The partnership enables travelers to spread out the cost of their vacation over time through monthly payments. Customers can apply for different payment schedules to break up the trip expenses into more manageable amounts.
The payment option integrates fully across JetBlue Vacations' Flight + Hotel mobile and desktop booking flows. It also extends to the JetBlue Vacations call center, where the customer service team can offer the flexible financing option to customers booking over the phone. Throughout the booking process, customers see estimated monthly payment amounts as they search for flight and hotel options.
At checkout, travelers have the option to pay in full, pay a deposit, or select a monthly payment option. The application process for Flex Pay takes a few minutes during checkout. Once approved, customers can select the plan that best fits their needs, with no late fees or prepayment penalties.
