The travel platform Despegar announced an important update to its flight financing system for international travel. According to Laura Amorós, Senior Marketing Manager for Despegar Argentina, the company is adding the option to pay for international flights in up to 3 installments with a dollar credit card. This new feature within the 'Cuotas Despegar' system is a significant change, as the previously available options (debit card or DEBIN) required having the full amount of dollars at the time of payment. 'This innovation expands the options and provides greater flexibility,' Amorós explained, as it allows travelers 'to pay for their international trip in installments and also have time to get the dollars before their credit card expires.' More offers for Cyber Monday Amorós highlighted that the event 'represents an ideal opportunity' for those planning their next trips or the summer 2026 vacations. In addition to the new dollar financing, Despegar will offer: 3 interest-free installments: On international hotels and packages, aimed at travelers departing from the second half of January. Discounts of up to 20%: On trips to the Caribbean, United States, and Europe. Promotions to Brazil: Agreements with banks such as Santander. Up to 12 interest-free installments: On domestic trips with cards from various banks. 10% discount with no cap: With Mercado Pago on hotels and domestic packages. Finally, the spokesperson recommended opting for travel packages (flight + hotel), as they allow 'saving up to 30%' compared to purchasing each service separately.
