Hi Mohammad, after the airline confirms your booking, your booking will be updated with e-ticket number. You can go to your upcoming trip session to find out more about your booking. If you have not received your confirmation email, or cannot find the trip details in your account, please kindly give us a call and we will assist you. Thanks!

Very unsatisfactory customer service. Very unprofessional.

I booked my two-way tickets from Boise, Idaho to Kathmandu, Nepal for December 12 on October 14, which unfortunately transits through Vancouver, Canada. Unfortunately, Canada requires a transit visa - policy which I totally respect but I wasn't aware of until this Sunday. Had I known it even a week earlier, I would have gotten enough time to apply for visa, and it's already late to process visa as I only have 7 working days left until my flight day (they take 19 working days and no expedition option - trust me I tried every possible option).

I totally agree that based on my particular itinerary, my tickets are non-refundable. They restrict me to cancel and even re-route my ticket. I also understands that it is actually traveller's responsibility to manage the visa requirements. But don't you think that not knowing about 1 country's transit visa policy among 196 countries in the world is reasonable enough to be considered for atleast re-routing (in your own airline or the travel agency that provides the so called global service around the world) the tickets for customer's convenience (given that it is only me second international flight)? And, what if the customer were people who don't usually have knowledge how to find such information regarding their flights? And, don't you think, not even offering "any option except for cancelling with just a tax amount and re-reserving a ticket" to a customer with an authentic reason to do so is some kind of loot to customers? I know I might have looked for cheaper fare, isn't that what any students/middle class people would do? Isn't that why your organization exists for? And does the policy really have to be that much strict just for the reason I looked for an inexpensive fare from one of the largest airlines and travel agent? Is it just the money that binds the service provider and the customers? As a service provider, don't you appreciate how we coordinate when the airlines when they are delayed due to your own mistakes, and we JUST understand it? Shouldn't it be as that simple to help your customers back, too?

Really frustrating.

My flight was cancelled 48 hours prior to departure. I called SU to see what my options were and left my number in the call back queue. I also sent 2 emails titled "URGENT FLIGHT CANCELLED WITHIN 48 HOURS OF DEPARTURE", DM'ed them on instagram, and tried calling twice more. It took them 18 hours to call me back (which happened to be 2am) where they only tried calling once, no text, no email, no nothing. In this time, I rebooked a new flight directly with an airline as I realised I could not rely on these imbeciles to do their jobs. As I booked through this agency, the airline could not make any changes to my booking. As such, i'm $1700 out of pocket for a replacement flight. Despite this clearly being SU's fault due to their inability to prioritise bookings based on departure date/time they failed to respond to any of my emails. Two weeks later, I called up and received appalling service where the employee spoke to me as though I was a child and offered nothing more than an airline credit which doesn't even meet the airlines credit policy. An airline credit entitles you to the $ value of your flight which can go towards ANY international route they fly... but SU have decided I can only use my "credit" to rebook the original route... I should have received a refund and an apology for this companies incompetence but instead all they offered was a sub par "credit"

I thought it was safe to book with SU as I am aware they are owned by Flight Centre, but now I would not recommend this company to my worst enemy

Hi there, we sincerely apologize for the delays you've encountered as we experienced extremely high call and message volume due to the coronavirus outbreak. We received thousands of messages at once and have not been able to provide the level of service we would have liked. We tried to prioritize messages, emails, calls and etc. as best we could, but it was impossible to do so perfectly due to the extreme volume.

However, that being said, we're sorry we weren't able to provide you with our best service. Any airline credit we offer is bound to the airline's policies, so it would be valid for any international route if the airline allows that. Policies have been changing frequently, so we apologize if you weren't given the most up-to-date information when you called. If you'd like us to look into your situation again, please DM us your invoice number or StudentUniverse reservation number and we'll do our best to make things right.
