Amazing Experience
November 24, 2023
Updated review

Student Universe is doing a great job by providing affordable flights for students. I love using it. I always get the cheapest fare from Student Universe. Recently, I received $60 in this Black Friday deal. That's awesome.

Horrible site
November 24, 2019

Don't use this site! They have horrible prices and refunds will cost you 40 dollars even if you only booked the flight the previous day. Their prices are over 100 dollars more expensive than on other sites

Cheap flight to Copenhagen
September 15, 2018

I'm reading a lot of negative reviews about student universe but I booked a flight to Copenhagen, Denmark with Icelandair for $400 cheaper than airline prices and about $100 cheaper than any other travel booking site out there. So far I have not had any problems with my flight booked about a month ago leaving in November, so if you are reading this please don't let the other reviews discourage you. Student universe provides cheap flights and I stand behind their service. Will update review if I experience problems in the future.

I flew to Edinburgh, Scotland and back, last week. I used Student Universe to get my discounted airline tickets and they did a great job of issuing the ticket itinerary information and keeping me informed. I will definitely use them again for my next vacation!

Booked a trip to London with my roommate. We were both very excited to travel abroad, and it looked like StudentUniverse would be a good option. Unfortunately, a mandatory work obligation came up, forcing us to change our return date. To move the return flight up a few days was going to cost over $400 in fees, plus an additional ~$390 flight adjustment cost. We ended up having to completely cancel our flights, and were charge $460 in fees, just to cancel. Not a very student-friendly booking website.

Scott, I've further investigated and the tickets you purchased had associated change/cancellation fees of $200 per ticket (these fees are outlined during the booking process). Also, since you had used a promo code for your bookings for $30/each ticket and were refunded the price of the flight in full for each flight, we had to recoup the $30 promo for each ticket. We know it stinks to pay fees when plans change, but next time perhaps looking into refundable options might be a better fit. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to help!

My 6 year experience on this site
April 10, 2023

I use student universe very often but recently I see the prices are similar to other travel sites and not much difference. Earlier it used to be cheaper here. Overall still a good site but Prices can be better at-least to regular users like me

Simple

I simply started by typing in a search browser "college student plane tickets" and I was brought here. This site is very simple and easy to follow, gives you all the tools necessary to find whatever trip you are planning and at a great price.

Not as good as in past
June 10, 2023
Updated review

Was hard to get actual price quoted on website, online booking failed, I was pending my correct ticket pricing, I had to call, then still charger higher price, later got email of partial refund. Confusing, took hours and then long days wait. Got no price confirmation for days. Poor experience was disappointing. Used to be better in past.

Seamless and Best Price
April 27, 2023

The booking process is easy and options close to your date are shown in a chart, which give a great visual for seeing date and pricing option. My ticket was confirmed and emailed right away, I'm glad to have found StudentUniverse.

WORST SERVICE!
April 4, 2018

I have booked the ticket with insurance, but now when I need to cancel the ticket they are charging me 600$ for cancellation. This is crazy! Worst customer service for students, the representative seemed that he did not even know what he was taking about! He Confused me and did not provide any information on how my travel insurance may help me get my money back.

Hi there,
We're sorry you had a negative experience. Unfortunately, cancellation and change fees are standard across the travel industry and not all types of travel insurance covers cancellation/change fees. Please let us know if there's anything else we can do.
Thanks,
StudentUniverse
