US-based buy-now-pay-later provider (BNPL) Uplift has announced a new partnership with Southwest Airlines to enable customers to pay for flights in instalments.

Using Uplift as a BNPL payment option gives Southwest customers the ability to book trips and spread the cost over a series of monthly payments. Uplift has been integrated into the Southwest.com booking process in a bid to provide a frictionless customer experience. Customers will see the total cost of their trip at the time of booking along with the monthly payment amount.

Southwest Airlines is the latest airline to partner with Uplift, joining 15 other airline partners. Uplift already had an existing partnership with Southwest Vacations and is now expanding that relationship through existing payment rails already in place with Universal Air Travel Plan (UTAP), which is the global payment solution owned by airlines. Uplift’s partnership with UATP enables payment settlement for airlines, offering BNPL options for Southwest flights.
