84% of younger adults in the United States and Canada want to keep traveling despite student loans and inflation—actually, 73% said that the experiences and cultural exchange benefits of travel are more meaningful than ever—but they want a travel hack to make international vacations affordable.* We’ve got that hack riiiight here, and it’s booking in advance, shopping our Black Friday travel deals, and paying in interest-free installments.
You can start paying installments in advance. Like, way in advance.
Although student loans payments were recently reinstated, 84% of respondents to an EF Ultimate Break poll plan to travel internationally in the next 12 months. Love to see it. 36% of respondents to another poll said they’d travel internationally but seek more budget-friendly options, and 31% said they’d book international travel further out to give them more time to take advantage of payment plans.* And we have those! You can start paying for your trip in interest-free installments up to two years in advance. We make international travel more accessible, and payment plans are a huge part of that.
