Northwest Airlines Adds PayPal Pay Later

Travelers Can Buy Tickets Now and Pay Later

Northwest Airlines (NYSE:NWA) and PayPal are making booking summer travel easier by giving passengers the ability to book flights now and pay for them later with PayPal’s promotional financing service, PayPal Pay Later. As part of the introductory financing option, customers can buy tickets on nwa.com and defer payments for 90 days, allowing them to complete their payments on a timeline that works best for their budgets.

“PayPal has already demonstrated its value to our customers, providing a safe and easy way to pay for tickets online,” said Al Lenza, Northwest Airlines vice president, distribution and e-commerce. “Adding PayPal Pay Later gives our customers even more flexibility when paying for their next trip on Northwest Airlines.”

Northwest customers can use PayPal Pay Later even if they don’t have PayPal accounts. The streamlined application can be completed in 30 seconds and provides qualified travelers with instant access to credit.

Northwest Airlines has been offering PayPal as an online payment option since June 2007.

“Northwest Airlines was the first airline to accept PayPal payments, and now it’s also the first to accept PayPal Pay Later,” said Mary Anne Gillespie, vice president of sales at PayPal. “We are excited to expand Northwest Airlines’ payment options and offer their customers the security and convenience of PayPal Pay Later.”
