**Quick answer — Can I pay for flights with Litecoin?**

Yes. You can pay for flights with Litecoin at **SatFares**, a flight booking site paid only in crypto. Send LTC on the Litecoin network.

## Which network must I choose to send Litecoin?

Choose the network called **Litecoin** or **LTC**. On some exchanges, LTC can also be withdrawn as a token on another network. Such a token is not litecoin on the Litecoin network, and it can't reach our Litecoin address.

Our check looks for a transaction on the Litecoin chain that pays our address. Copy that address from the payment page after you choose LTC. It is never printed on the pages of this site.

## How many confirmations does a Litecoin payment need?

Six confirmations on the Litecoin network. The payment page counts them as they arrive, and your balance is credited in US dollars when the sixth one is reached. Before crediting, our system also checks that the transaction is still part of the main chain. If you close the tab, the pending top-up stays under Billing in your account.

## How much LTC do I send for a $500 ticket?

You send $500 worth of LTC at the locked rate, plus the network fee. The $500 is the price shown at checkout, which is the fare found live for all passengers, in US dollars, taxes included, with no fee added; the final total is confirmed before you are charged.

We don't print an LTC amount here, because it depends on the rate when you top up. If you already have money on your balance, you only top up the difference, with a minimum of $25. The table below shows each step for an empty balance.

## A $500 Litecoin top-up, step by step

| Step | What happens |
| --- | --- |
| 1 | You top up $500, above the $25 minimum |
| 2 | The payment page divides $500 by the LTC rate, rounds up and adds a few unique units |
| 3 | You send that exact LTC amount while the rate is locked; the page shows until when |
| 4 | Your wallet adds the Litecoin network fee on top |
| 5 | After 6 confirmations, your balance shows $500 |
| 6 | At checkout, the ticket total is held, then charged when the e-ticket number is issued |

## How is Litecoin converted to US dollars?

At the rate locked on the payment page. The page shows the exact LTC amount and how long the rate is locked. A transaction seen within that time gets the locked rate. A transaction seen after the lock ends can be valued at a different rate.

Send the exact amount shown. If your exchange takes its withdrawal fee from the amount you type, add the fee so that the full amount arrives. Once your top-up is credited, your balance is in US dollars and no longer follows the price of Litecoin.

## What happens if the airline cancels a flight paid in Litecoin?

You get a refund in USDT or USDC within 7 days, or a balance credit, as you choose. The refund is in stablecoins, not in LTC, because your balance has been in US dollars since the credit. If you cancel yourself, the fare rules of your ticket apply, and any refund is credited to your balance. Balance rule: Unused balance stays on your account and never expires. Amounts released when a booking can't be confirmed, or refunded after a cancellation you did not request, can be withdrawn in USDT or USDC; the rest of the balance is not refundable.

## Paying with Litecoin: common questions

### Does SatFares accept Litecoin for flights?

Yes. SatFares accepts LTC on the Litecoin network, credited after 6 confirmations. The top-up is converted to US dollars at the rate locked on the payment page. Litecoin tokens on other networks are not accepted. Your balance is then held, not charged, until the e-ticket is issued.

### Why does Litecoin need 6 confirmations?

Six is the number set in our payment settings for the Litecoin network. Each additional confirmation makes it less likely that the transaction is removed from the chain. Our system also checks that the transaction is still in the main chain before crediting.

### Can I send LTC from an exchange?

Yes. Choose "Litecoin" as the withdrawal network. Some exchanges take their withdrawal fee from the amount you type: check that the LTC that arrives matches the exact amount on the payment page. If needed, add the exchange fee to the amount you type.

### What is the Litecoin network fee?

Your wallet sets it and adds it on top of the amount you send. The fee goes to the Litecoin network, not to SatFares. We have not measured Litecoin fees yet; measured fees will appear on the [real cost of paying in crypto](https://satfares.com/real-cost-of-paying-in-crypto/) page.

### My Litecoin payment arrived after the rate lock ended. What should I do?

Don't send a second payment. Keep the transaction ID (TXID) from your wallet and follow the instructions on the payment page. If you need help, contact support with the TXID, the amount and the time you sent it. A transaction seen after the lock ends can be valued at a different rate than the locked one.

### Can I get my refund in Litecoin?

No. Refunds are paid in USDT or USDC. If the airline cancels, you get a refund in USDT or USDC within 7 days, or a balance credit, as you choose. Your balance has been in US dollars since your LTC top-up was credited, so the refund keeps its dollar value.

### Is the ticket price different if I pay in LTC?

No. The price shown is the fare found live for all passengers, in US dollars, taxes included, with no fee added; the final total is confirmed before you are charged, whichever coin you use. Only the amount of LTC to send depends on the rate when you top up. The network fee is paid by your wallet.
