Site is great, lots of deals for students and young adults, but I swear flights disappear, and are put back, sometimes more expensive, making extremely difficult to buy a flight and coordinate with others, even flights months away. In fact, I saw a flight through Icelandic air I wanted to get, but I was told there was a problem and I couldn't purchase it. I was then emailed that the flight was booked up which makes sense. I checked the next day and the flight was still there and 200 dollars more, and not available for round trips only one ways! Same flight number that I remember as well. Your flights disappear and reappear regardless of how many people are on the flight. If you didn't offer amazing deals I would go down to 2 or even 1 star. Overall great deals but a nightmare to coordinate and purchase flights.
Booking is perhaps among the simplest, as in not complicated. Verification process is a bit tedious, but that's a good thing because I don't want my information to be compromised.
Lots of confusion with verification process and delay in doing so. Customer service is friendly. Rico is extremely helpful with timely replies.
The promotion was worth it but takes a long time; I recommend you email them when you have a question, the chat does not work.
Takes a long time and not effective.
This was the first time I booked my flights with scholarTrip. My overall booking experience I've felt their booking process looked secured and professional to me. I'll certainly go back to book with them in the future trips.
Some delay in processing, but my registration was ultimately processed correctly. There were apparently no options for seat type (economy, premium economy/business, etc), number of bags, or even to select a seat so the assumption is that you will be flying on a budget. The confirmation e-mail DOES include the airline's confirmation number so you can set your seat on the airline's system directly.
I booked my flight a couple hours ago but for some reason my reservation is still listed as 'pending'. When can I expect to receive my ticket confirmation from the airlines? When can I select my seats? Why is none of this part of the booking process? Why does the chat window refuse to load?
Flights and promo codes that reflect available, aren't always available. After 3 attempts, I was finally able to secure a reservation. But this time, the promo code would not work. Support was no help as they state the code was for limited redemption even though the terms listed on website do not mention it.
HAD TO WORK THRU THE PROCESS, GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE, HAD TO CALL TO GET MY FLIGHT LISTED ON AIRLINES WEB SITE. Good price!
I'm shocked by how cheap flights can be. It was also super easy to upgrade and book my flight. Took me less than 5 minutes. Then, it took about 2 hours for my booking to be confirmed. I was nervous that the site wasn't legit, but I received my confirmation code for my Delta flights in the booking confirmation, and put that code into Delta, and I am booked!
I got to the airport a little before 6am for the 8am flight I'd booked through ScholarTrip, only to discover that it's really a 6am flight, even though ScholarTrip told me 8:00am. Mulan with ScholarTrip was so amazingly *bad* and unhelpful, to the point where the gate agents were openly disturbed by her inability to do anything. I spent 5 hours repeatedly talking with Mulan by phone, and the result was that I was given no option but to re-book the flight for the next day, wasting a day of my life. I was left to either spend 24 hours sleeping on the floor, or to go get a hotel room at my expense (they refused to help). I don't understand all the happy reviews on this website -- are they fake? ScholarTrip is *horrible*. Never again!

This is what my experience is. I had a cancel my flight ticket. Initially told out of 2200 $ ticket for 2 person, they will refund 1600$ and then said more 280$ per person i.e. 560$ extra and now saying in one transaction bank will charge for 2 person more 33$. This is bull$#*!. It has been more than 3 weeks, I haven't received my money. They are saying bank takes time to refund whereas bank only takes max of 2 days.
This is a fraud. Beware
I really like that the chat is powered by a live agent. I am also awaiting my scholarship funds to be disbursed for my study abroad experience so being able to book my flight today at no fee was very helpful. Thank you.
It would not let me book at first then I had to pay an additional $65 dollars after buying my tickets because the price went up before they finished confirming it. I paid to upgrade from basic economy to regular economy solely so that I would have a carry on bag for my flights and once I finally got my tickets when I opened them up they have no carry on bag. There has been so much back and forth and BS i should have gone with a different company!
It would not let me book yesterday i paid extra for a carry on and then the ticket said no carry on
Continuously, the flights I keep trying to book result in a transaction cancellation. For once, it would be great if the booking could go through instead of keeping being kept on the edge of my seat, waiting for a successful confirmation email response. I had to try to book my flight 4 times.

Excellent website for students and professors It is easy to find good prices and deals. I would like the prices could be cheaper than the ones you have now. As students, we have a lot of expenses. Even though I am a professor I am a student too. I am taking my master's in Salamanca, Spain. In order to graduate I require to travel there for my last module and for my graduation.
Your Ellie chatbot is useless. I asked for help. No response for over 5 minutes. You shouldn't use a useless chatbot. They followed up after maybe half an hour with a phone call and addressed the issue.

Booking is easy. I have received my confirmation email. I will have to get the tickets at the airport, as stated in the confirmation. Not sure why since I am going from Tampa in the US to US Virgin Islands.
Ticket booked. It was hard to get my ticket as scholar trip cancelled my first booking that I had and I had to book another one with higher prices. This one is confirmed and It better not get cancelled.
I bought 2 tickets and missed somehow adding checked baggage. I contacted the support to help me with the request of adding some baggage and they sent me to the airline. The airline sent me to the flight operator. The flight operator sent me to the airline.
I started a thread with ScholarTrip this morning and until 9 PM I do not have a clear answer.
I bought the tickets from ScholarTrip and they should contact whoever they need to contact to help me.
Really disappointed.
