August 1st, 2018, London – East London travel entrepreneurs announce launch of Awaymo - world's first Pay Monthly online travel agency, offering customers the ability to “Pay after you fly”.

Awaymo lets you book flights now, paying just 10% upfront, spreading the balance interest free over monthly terms. Taking the online travel industry by storm, thousands of passengers have booked flights with Awaymo since their launch in January 2018, with happy customers flocking to online review sites to gush about the challenger OTA.

Customers make the first of 10 payments by debit or credit card at the time of booking on awaymo.com, and the remaining 9 payments are collected by equal monthly direct debit. Awaymo's mission is to make travel as affordable as a gym membership or a Netflix subscription, breaking down large upfront costs into equal monthly payments, with flights to Europe starting from just £4/month, and flights to the USA starting from just £30/month.

Awaymo offers flights with all major airlines and low cost carriers, covering popular routes worldwide. Current deals include return flights to New York City for £30/month, Dublin for £4/month, and Australia from £55/month. Awaymo offers more flexibility than any other payment plan, allowing travellers to jet off as soon as 14 days after making their first payment, with the remaining payments being collected after the holiday.

“Awaymo offers the simplest payment plans on the market, with 10 payments for everything at 0% APR.” says Cofounder Timothy Davis, “Our prices are completely transparent and customers see the total price throughout the booking journey. Unlike other spread payment options, there are no interest calculations to make and no hidden fees, giving our customers certainty and control over exactly how much each ticket costs per month. Spreading the cost is the best way to get away without interrupting your lifestyle or current spending habits”.

“We are meeting the unmet demand from travellers and holiday makers for more flexible payment solutions when booking their trips away. Millennials in particular have fewer credit cards than any generation before, and are more in favour of using structured payment plans tied to specific purchases” says Cofounder Stefan Hobl.

Awaymo currently offers flights to destinations all over the world on their website, with hotel and package holiday booking coming in Q4 2018.

Notes to Editors

Awaymo is brainchild of East London graduates Timothy Davis and Stefan Hobl. Both cofounders have extensive experience travelling and were frustrated by the lack of fast, affordable and convenient payment options available for booking flights, hotels and package holidays.
