The price was not competitive at all
May 1, 2023

This ticket cost almost 287 CAD which was not competitive at all for a student. Whereas other websites offered the same with 260 CAD. It was my first time using this service and won't use it anymore.

Absolute scam of a company
December 29, 2021

I normally don't write reviews but student universe is absolutely not a trust worthy company. Yes their price might look appealing but you have to ask yourself how do they make money as a business? They are a for profit company not a charity. The answer is through withholding flight cancellation fees. By booking through student universe you lose all the privilege you get from booking with an airline directly. In my case I booked with west jet, and my flight was changed WITHOUT any notice whatsoever, on west jet website it clearly states in case of a flight change made by the airline, they will contact you with an option to either accept the change or receive a full refund. Student universe ACCEPTED the flight change without contacting me or NOTIFYING me. And when I asked student universe where my refund is at, they offered a "student universe credit", and it must be used on the exact same travel route by the exact same airline. Meaning if your original flight was supposed to travel from point A to point B, you can only use your "credit" if you travel from A to B again in the future. And if your next flight is cheaper you just lose the money difference. And don't ever buy into the whole "oh we just follow airline policy" it is straight out lies to make themselves look like they give a crap when they clearly don't. I hope nothing but the worst for this company.

Hi there, we apologize that this was your experience. It appears there may have been some confusion on what the airline's policies were for your ticket (bearing in mind that some airlines have different policies for different types of tickets or certain regions/routes), but we'd be happy to look into it and go over it with you with the aim of finding a favorable solution. Please DM us on here with your reservation number and contact information if you'd like us to look into it.

Best Price, it worked
April 12, 2024

I was skeptical because the price listed on here was much better than other sites. I was expecting hidden fees or something like that, but it was all gravy and I got a good deal on my flights.

Overcharged for flight
January 9, 2018

I booked a flight with student universe and it was cheaper than the other flights I could find to and from the same destinations. But when I checked my credit card statement I was charged an extra 30 dollars which was never shown in the invoice OR receipt. Currently am in the process of trying to get my money back.
DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM.

Ruby, did you use a promo code on your booking? With some of our promo codes the full amount of the ticket is charged to you and then the promo code amount is credited back. Alternatively, this could be a foreign transaction fee depending on where you booked from. Please let us know if it is not either of these scenarios and we will further investigate.

This was the first time I have heard of Student Universe. I compared their price vs the official airline and Student beat them by a lot. I will start looking at StudentUniverse for my future travels.
