The airline used <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uplift.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Uplift<\/a> to generate payment plans as low as $20 per month as an alternative to paying a full fare upfront. With the PROS fare marketing platform, Air Canada could instantly display these payment plans at scale across all of their origin and destination pages. After launching the monthly pay option, <strong>Air Canada saw an increase in conversions, average transaction value, and customer acquisition, plus longer booking windows.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Solution<\/h2>\n<p>Uplift is a buy-now-pay-later solution that serves the world&#8217;s top travel brands, including airlines, cruises, vacation packages, and hospitality. Consumers using Uplift convert more often, are more likely to upgrade their travel, and are more likely to repurchase with the travel provider.<\/p>\n<p>The customer selects their trip and is offered several payment plans to choose from. The monthly plans&nbsp;have no late fees, no prepayment fees, and customers can travel before they finish making all of their&nbsp;payments. By partnering with Uplift to offer a flexible form of payment, airlines see higher average&nbsp;transactions, longer booking windows, and an increase in conversions.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pros.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot_2024-06-13_130131_zh12x9.png\" width=\"870\" height=\"310\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<colgroup>\n<col style=\"width: 75.8045%;\">\n<col style=\"width: 24.1955%;\"><\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<h2>Results<\/h2>\n<p>Customers viewed Air Canada&#8217;s strategy of adding monthly payment plans positively.
