Student Universe did not refund my minor daughter's plane tickets to Europe even in the wake of the coronavirus.

Hi there, we apologize for your frustration, we know this situation is taxing to try to reschedule already-existed travel plans. As an online travel agency and not the airline itself, we're bound to the airline's policies and decisions with regards to the coronavirus and otherwise. We're happy to help you as much as we can, but without knowing your situation more, we're not able to make any promises about refunds or airline policies. Please feel free to reach out to us directly if we can look into anything further for you, and we're sorry that this situation is affecting your daughter's plans!

Prices

There appears to be a discrepancy between the confirmed price and the price that was initially agreed upon.

Flight was cancelled by the airline and changed to an earlier flight. 3x email to the agency (as they had requested) asking to confirm. Agency failed to cancel and airline deemed a no show resulting in loss of entire passage. Impossible to call agency due to interminable phone loops. NEVER AGAIN WILL I BOOK A FLIGHT THROUGH STUDENT UNIVERSE!

I used this to fly to see my mom after my friend recommended it. I found a cheap flight, but I would have liked to see who the airline was. They keep that part hidden until you register with them.

NOT CHEAPER - AVOID! I feel scammed
June 26, 2022

This website advertises getting discounted fares for students but i've found this is a LIE. While searching for flights on their website an offer from them popped up to get a flight at a discounted prices but it gave me like 5 minutes to put all my information in and hit book before the "special offer" expired. Booked thinking this was actually a good deal since they're supposed to be discounted and then found a ticket directly with the Airline for significantly cheaper. Tried to cancel later and was told that I could not get a refund to my original payment but I could get a credit with the airline, but when I rebooked it would have to be through them and I'd be charged an additional $50 rebooking fee by Student Universe - oh and they finally told me about this rebooking fee after my 3+ time confirming there'd be no fees. I wish I had booked through United, they're much more helpful and have cheaper fares. Never using student universe again. Do yourself a favor and AVOID student universe at all costs. You won't regret booking elsewhere.

Price changed SUBSTANTIALLY in cart
March 30, 2024

My initial attempt to purchase a ticket was unpleasant since a seemingly perfect ticket doubled in price in the cart after I had gone through the process of detailing my flight :/
