How to Book Flights with Klarna

One of the great things about Klarna is that it supports a wide range of stores and categories. One of those is booking flights.

In this article, we will learn how to book flights with Klarna online and in-store.

Quick answer

Klarna supports many local flight booking services, and you can go to their websites in the app or in-store and use Klarna.

Booking flights with Klarna online

Follow the steps below to book flights. Please note that I’m in Australia, so I will use Australian flight websites. You can search for the business in the Klarna app in your region.

Step 01

Step 08

Tap the Pay or Place Order button to complete the flight booking through Klarna.

Booking flights with Klarna in-store

A few things are needed to book flights with Klarna in-store. First, you must have an NFC-supported phone with either Apple Pay or Google Wallet installed.

Check out my Google Wallet tutorial video to set it up.

The merchant must have a contactless terminal to pay through the phone. If all lights are green, follow the steps below.

Follow any additional steps, such as accepting terms and conditions. When you have the card ready, tap on it to open it.

Then, tap your phone against the terminal to complete the payment.

Pay in 4 or Financing

If you live where Klarna supports multiple payment types, I recommend choosing the Pay in 4 or Pay in 30 option because it won’t affect your credit score.

The Financing option is expensive, and your score may be impacted if you don’t pay the minimum.

Summary

Using Klarna to book flights is possible. You must search for the business in the search bar, generate a digital card, and use it on the website while booking.

You can pay on a desktop, but using the Klarna app will be easier.

Shopping in-store is also feasible if Klarna supports the business. Search for it in the In-store tab and create the card to add to your payment app.
