If you have created a login for the student centers for either of these sites, you can use the same login for StudentUniverse. Your regular (non-student center) Travelocity or Orbitz login, however, will not work on StudentUniverse.

Or, please call us at 800-272-9676 from the U.S. or Canada, from the U.K. at 0-808-234-4107, and from anywhere else (001) 617-321-3100.

No, you do not need to buy an ISIC/ITIC (International Student/Teacher Identity Card) to purchase tickets from us.

Other student travel companies require you to buy an ISIC/ITIC card (for over $20), but we do not. We do not accept ISIC/ITIC cards as proof of student/faculty status, and we will work with you and your school to do that at no charge.

We offer low student airfares because we sell only to students and faculty. We work with all of the major airlines to offer students and faculty members significantly discounted airfares that they will not sell to the general public. We check to make sure you’re a student or faculty member, so we can keep offering you these great deals.

Because a person can change schools, take time off, graduate, or just leave a school, we do need to re-verify a person’s status from time to time.

An e-ticket is an electronic travel record which allows you to check-in and board your flight without a paper coupon. E-ticketing is an easy, hassle-free way to travel. Whether you receive an e-ticket or a paper ticket is up to the airline. All domestic flights are e-ticketed and most international flights are as well. Intra-European flights, however, frequently require a paper ticket.

In general, most passengers fly on an e-ticket, as even for international travel, it’s easier and less expensive for everyone.

Since most of our tickets are e-tickets you will not receive anything in the regular mail. Those who receive an e-ticket will get an email with a link to their itinerary, including the change and cancellation rules of their ticket. You should expect this email within 3 days of ordering online, or sooner. Once you receive it, simply click on the enclosed link to display your itinerary.

Paper ticketed passengers will also receive an email with a link to their itinerary once their ticket has been issued. This will include their shipping information for their paper tickets, including their tracking number. You should expect this email within 3 days of ordering online, and the paper tickets will arrive a day or two thereafter.

This is very common, and very easy to do.

You will see the number of student seats available for your flight when you are on our site, so you’ll be able to pick a flight for all of you. If you want to travel on the same flight with a friend or friends, you should book your tickets separately, under your own individual accounts. We recommend you decide on the flights you want, and book them back-to-back or as close together as possible.

If you do have any questions when you're doing this, please call us at 800-272-9676 from the U.S. or Canada, from the U.K. at 0-808-234-4107, and from anywhere else (001) 617-321-3100. Our agents are available Monday-Friday 9am-9pm ET (GMT 2PM-2AM) and Saturday-Sunday 11am-6pm ET (GMT 4PM-11PM).

If you are part of a group of 12 or more, get a quote from our Group Department.

If you are looking to travel with a friend or relative who is not currently a student or faculty member, we suggest you look for the flights you want with us, then coordinate the same flights on one our partner sites, Travelocity or Orbitz. You can then request the airline to seat you together.

Student fares, like other cheap airfares can sell out. Please be flexible; you may have to fly out on a Tuesday and come back on a Thursday, or fly out of a different airport in order to find a great student fare. The website has all of our available fares and new deals are always being added.

Generally speaking, traveling on a Monday-Wednesday, and returning on these same days, gives you the least expensive prices and best availability.

Before we advertise a fare, we check to make sure there are seats available for it. While there may not be seats available for it on every day, we try to make sure that a person can find the fare we advertise, as no one benefits if we advertise a flight at a price we don’t have.

That said, flights can sell out quickly, and we need to list flights sometimes weeks in advance of an ad running, so there are a lot of things that can happen. The price you see in an advertisement will normally be good for only certain time periods, and even within that, certain days of travel. We note this in our fare terms and conditions found at the bottom of the ad. The price in the ad typically does not include all taxes and fees, as airlines change these frequently, so we only list the price of the base fare itself and note that most taxes and fees are extra.

Generally speaking, leaving on a Monday-Wednesday and returning on these same days gives you the least expensive prices.

Some airlines permit accrual of frequent flyer points/miles for student tickets, and others do not. Please see the chart below to see if your flight is eligible for these rewards.

*25% of actual miles flown
**Domestic only
***up to 250 miles per segment
****70% of actual miles flown
+For Delta SkyMiles
++50% of actual miles flown

The above table is for informational purposes only. While we will make every attempt to keep this information up to date, StudentUniverse will not assume any responsibility for its accuracy as airlines reserve the right to make changes to their frequent flyer program without advance notice. Actual mileage earned may be different from what is stated above.

If your flight is eligible to receive frequent flyer rewards, you can make sure you get proper credit in one of two ways. When you check in at the airport gate, make sure you give the airline agent your frequent flyer information, or you can call the airline directly to make sure they have your frequent flyer information in your flight record. See the chart above for the best number to call.

Many people who purchase tickets from StudentUniverse do so for someone else. If you are buying a ticket for a student or faculty member, you will need to have his or her login information to complete the purchase.

If you are buying tickets for more than one person, we recommend you buy your own first, and then purchase tickets for others the same way you bought your own. You’ll need to use the other traveler(s') log-in(s). Unfortunately, you cannot purchase tickets for more than one person in the same transaction, so each ticket purchased will need to go through separately.

Any airline tickets purchased will be issued in the name of the person logged in, and cannot be used by anyone else. Airlines do not allow name changes once the ticket is issued.

The name on the credit card CAN be different than the name of the traveler.

Yes. Since we sell to students, our tickets are frequently purchased using a friend or parent's credit card. You will need to get their permission, and you will be asked for the credit card billing information.

Yes! We accept international credit cards with non U.S. or Canadian billing addresses. Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover, are all welcome.

Yes! StudentUniverse offers one-way fares to the U.S. and Canada from Europe, Russia, South and Central America, Australia, and Asia. We have intra-European and intra-Australian tickets too.

We also have round-trip flights from London to over 70 locations in the U.S.

Right now, besides London, we do not have round-trip fares originating from outside the U.S. or Canada to the U.S. or Canada. Being smart, you can book yourself a one-way flight to the U.S., and a one-way back, and get a great student fare for both.

Here are some tips and other important information:

Please make sure you obtain the proper documentation before you travel, and are carrying it when you travel. If you do not have the proper documentation to enter the US on a one-way ticket, the airline will deny you boarding and you will lose the full value of your ticket. Further information can be obtained by contacting the airline directly, the US embassy, or online at www.state.gov.

It is always the TRAVELER'S RESPONSIBILITY to carry the proper, current travel documents for all flights.

This is known as an open jaw, and yes you can book these flights on our site. Our website requires that your origination airport and final destination on any round trip be the same.

• Create your own itinerary by booking one way flights on our website, or
• Call us if you know where you want to go and when, and are ready to book your flight. Note: you only need to call us if your originating and final destinations are different, otherwise, you can book online at any time.

A small number of itineraries do need to be booked via an agent, these would include:

• Departing in under 2 days
• Stopovers
• Departing from one airport and returning to another

If you’re not familiar with a stopover, it is when you’re traveling from one destination to another, and stopping for a few days at another along the way. Stopovers are common when you travel long distances, say from New York to Sydney but stopping off for a couple of days in Auckland. If you’re ready to book a flight with a stopover, please contact one of our agents directly for help. Please call us at 800-272-9676 from the U.S. or Canada, from the U.K. at 0-808-234-4107, and from anywhere else (001) 617-321-3100.

Travel insurance covers you in a number of unexpected situations; unforeseen sickness, injury or death of yourself, a family member or a traveling companion. The policy also covers for inclement weather, unforeseen labor strikes affecting public transportation, and unforeseen traffic accidents. There are no deductibles or co-payments required. Find out more details on our Trip Protection for your upcoming trip.

We have flights to pretty much anywhere you want to go, and we have hostels and budget hotels in all of those places too. You book your flight and hostel/hotel separately, so that gives you the freedom to choose (and spend) what you want.

Most flights do allow changes, and all airlines charge a fee for changing your flight. Change rules and fees are always listed on your confirmation e-mail, so please read them carefully before you call.

If you wish to cancel your ticket, you must contact us by phone in advance of your flight’s boarding. If you do not, for any reason, any refundable amounts will be forfeited to the airline.

If you do wish to make a change, and it’s prior to your departure, please call us at 800-272-9676 from the U.S. or Canada, from the U.K. at 0-808-234-4107, and from anywhere else (001) 617-321-3100.
