I booked a flight about a week ago and still haven't received my booking confirmation. However, student universe reached out to me to confirm if I had not received it yet, and I emailed them back saying I had not. They emailed me my booking confirmation and told me everything was all in order. All in all, the problem was minor but very quickly fixed.

Good prices and efficient process

I needed a last-minute ticket and this site was helpful. I bought economy class but was ticketed in premium economy, which was a nice surprise.

Good timing on the website. A little confused about the charges. I was charged four times then each time was reimbursed. This included my ticket so I hope everything settles in a week.

Updated review

You mistakenly charge me for travel protection but after many many attempts I was able to contact you to remove the charge. The only setback was it was very difficult to talk to a human, you just kept putting me on hold or cutting me short while I was on hold. I just hope that your customer service is better.

Good service. I will come back.

Good service, competitive prices. However, when I checked the prices multiple times, your cookies got in and raised the prices within 15 minutes.

Scam
April 22, 2024

I don't write reviews usually but this is such a scam I hope to help someone save their money. They are not up front when purchasing the tickets. Once you get to check out they keep adding on additional fees and you end up paying more for a ticket here than on the actual airlines website. Don't trust this place.

Effective reservation with lots of speed bumps
August 9, 2024
Updated review

The website and experience were adequate for the price point of the flights. My first frustration was that the multi city option does not allow you to book more than two flights at once. I was hoping to book a three leg trip in one go. The ability to see and sort flights and choose outbound and return flights separately is great. All the necessary information about layovers and baggage was easily accessible. As a side note, many offered flight combinations included extremely short layovers - some less than an hour for an international connection, which was not obvious unless you clicked for more details about the flight.

I attempted to book my flights less than 5 minutes after my initial query and was informed that the price had increased about $20. This was mildly frustrating but understandable. However, I was then informed that my booking had failed with no further explanation, and that the website was still "trying to book me onto the same or alternate flights." This was highly concerning as I did not wish to be booked onto alternate flights without approving them.

Ultimately, a representative called me and informed me the reason my booking failed was because of the price increase. This didn't make sense to me since I had already been advised of the change during the checkout process. The representative was able to manually book the flights for me - for a small additional fee. She was very nice and professional but the process was very drawn out with lots of redundant questions. Yes, I am aware the flight does not include a checked bag, for the fifth time. I also had an issue with the login process freezing up that made me ultimately have to refresh my search.

Overall I am happy I booked the flights I wanted for the price I did. I wish the checkout process had been smoother.

Not able to book 3 flights at once via multicity

Previous review

Not able to book 3 flights at once via multicity. Flight prices increase in less than 5 minutes from getting search results to proceeding to checkout. Login process froze up and made me refresh my search. Attempted to make reservation and told they were unable to book my flight(s?) and I hadn't been charged - very unclear
