Yes, a U.S. passport is mailed to the mailing address listed on the application, and that address can be changed while the case is still pending. If you’re asking this, you’re usually in one of a few spots. You’re staying with family for a while. You moved after filing. You want the passport sent to

Yes, many flight sellers let you split airfare into four payments, though checkout options, approval, and trip timing can limit it. Afterpay can work for flights, but not in the blanket way many travelers expect. You usually can’t walk onto any airline site, pick a ticket, and count on seeing Afterpay at the last step.
