Disgrace of a company
December 12, 2021

Got stuck in Thailand because if this company's incompetence. My flight was delayed so I rebooked with the agent just to be told by the airline that the ticket wasn't confirmed and I cannot travel. Every time I called them there was a 90 minutes wait and international call charge AVOID AVOID AVOID

Great price and customer service
June 12, 2023

I had a credit card issue as I used Discover and a non US-based airline didn't accept it, I got a another type of card and successfully booked the flight with a cheaper price compared to the market at the same time.

Great prices!
June 15, 2023

I was skeptical but so far purchasing my ticket and receiving my confirmation was seemless. Let's hope travel goes the same way. If not, I'll update my review.

Easy and Affordable
April 19, 2023

It took only a matter of minutes to find my flight and go through the process of placing my order. The prices were cheaper than any of the other travel discounts available to me.

Scammers
September 28, 2021

They are just credit card scammers!
I received a letter, where they have asked me to send them my bank details: photos of my card, my ID and my signature...
Please, don't trust them

They claim that they follow the full refund within 24hrs policy but they charge you a cancellation fee of 40$. I asked them for a receipt but haven't received any. This is definitely a con business.

Always great quick support
October 26, 2022

I continue to use the site because of the customer service. I accidentally booked a flight on the wrong date and the person who I spoke with was able to cancel the booking for me immediately.

Great

Relatively easy and user friendly. Wish you could have options to different types of "seat packages" so you don't have to pay for baggage out of pocket.

I had the tickets right away, and no doubts with purchase. The application works fine. The customer service by phone is very good and the people in the other side are very polite.

Hi Euquil, thanks for the feedback. Ticketing usually takes less than 24 hours, sometimes it may take more, but it will always be available 7 days prior to departure. Our customer service team has looked into your booking and expedited the ticketing process, so you shall have the e-ticket number by now. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Thanks!

Cheapest option I found

I was so suprised by the prices for flights available on Student Universe. I was able to book my flight to Ghana this summer for much less than I expected!

Price dropped after my booking
November 8, 2023

I like using StudentUniverse to book flights, but this time, price dropped after my booking and I got several emails about "did you book your trips?" after booking my trip.

StudentUniverse attempted to help this customer through the Sitejabber Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond

Study Abroad

It was so easy to book my flight - initially I was worried that it was going to be a really long process but it only took me a few minutes to decide the best flight for my study abroad trip!
