Many factors determine when an airfare has to be paid. All airfares have an in-built ticketing time limit. The ticketing time limit specifies how soon after a reservation is made, that payment is required. This can vary depending if you have booked online or with a travel agent. The cheapest flights usually require payment sooner than fares that are more flexible. And during busy periods, the airline may bring the ticketing time limit forward so that unwanted seats are released sooner.

This information is based on airfares sold from New Zealand but is likely to apply elsewhere.

Online Versus Travel Agent Payment Deadlines for Air Tickets

Payment dates for the same air ticket can vary depending on how you have booked the flight. Most online flight booking engines require you to pay for the ticket as soon as you have made the reservation. However, with some airfares, especially longhaul airfares, the same seats can be held by a travel agent for a much longer period, before having to pay for them.
