How long have you been parking your dream holiday? Every month, it's the same story: 'I'll book it later in this year…' Well, if your passport has been collecting more dust than stamps, Emirates has a new way to get you out of the situation.

Book now, pay later

The airline has rolled out a new Equated Monthly Instalment (EMI) payment option for customers in India. That means you can book your flights now and pay for them later in monthly instalments! Instead of coughing up the entire airfare in one go, eligible passengers can spread the cost over anywhere between three and 36 months. The EMI facility is supported by 12 participating banking partners, including Axis Bank, Bank of Baroda, HDFC Bank, and HSBC Bank, among others, and covers nearly 140 destinations across the Emirates network.

This move comes as international travel continues to soar among Indian travellers.

Founded in 1985 with just two aircraft, Emirates has since become almost synonymous with luxury international travel. Today, the airline operates the world's largest fleets of Airbus A380s and Boeing 777s. 'We are delighted to offer flexible payment solutions to our valued customers in India, enabling more people to enjoy worldwide travel by providing convenient payment options,' said Emirates' Vice President for India and Nepal, Mohammad Sarhan.
