STA Travel Delivers Cheapest Lay-By To Australian Travellers

STA Travel has announced that the company is now offering local travellers the cheapest Lay-By in the Australian travel industry. The Lay-By program allows customers to lock in holidays at bargain booking prices and pay it off over time – without using credit cards or risky interest-free structures.

Travellers can Lay-By flights with a $99 deposit, which is the cheapest travel Lay-By available in Australia, then pay the remainder ten weeks before their trip. This means they can avoid inflated last-minute flight prices, costly interest rates and other more expensive Lay-By options, while still locking in the holiday of their dreams. David Green, Managing Director STA Travel Australia, said Lay-By has already proven very popular with fiscally-minded Australians.

“STA Travel’s Lay-By option means Australian travellers can be clever about saving for their holiday – avoiding last-minute splurges on flights or credit card debacles by locking in bargain prices. Although Aussies are often perceived as laid-back travellers, in my experience, Australian travellers are in fact very financially responsible when it comes to planning travel.”

“The Lay-By program is supported by research carried out by STA Travel which found Australian travellers are the most fiscally responsible in the world, and least likely to fund their holidays through debt. In Australia, only 55% of STA Travel trips are booked on credit card, compared with 97% in the US and 95% booked on credit in the UK,” commented David Green.

Aussie travellers worried about finances after the expensive festive season will welcome news that Lay-By is available all year round, and includes options for a $149 deposit for flights and hotels, as well as a $249 deposit for flight and adventure.
