StudentUniverse Reviews Summary

StudentUniverse generally enjoys a positive reputation for providing affordable travel options, particularly for students and young travelers. Customers frequently commend the competitive pricing and ease of booking, often highlighting significant savings on flights. However, the company faces notable criticism regarding its customer service, particularly during high-demand promotions, where long wait times and difficulties in reaching support representatives are common concerns. Issues with confirmation and communication further detract from the overall experience. While customers appreciate the value offered, enhancing customer service responsiveness could significantly improve satisfaction levels.

The site worked.
April 9, 2024

I successfully bought my tickets. However the prices were about $20 cheaper on my phone than on my laptop.

Question about fees
April 9, 2024

Hi, I got charged for the ticket and then an extra amount that went to Student Universe. What is that about? And then today I got a note that Scandinavian refunded my money back. So what is happening to my reservation?

I booked a frontier ticket from kayak through StudentUniverse. It was for an evening flight. When the confirmation came it was for a morning flight. I reached out to StudentUniverse who asked me to cancel the ticket on Frontier Website.

Entering the TAP website with the record locator, it is unclear that I can check luggage.
No access to seat allocation (even if I want to pay).

StudentUniverse attempted to help this customer through the SmartCustomer Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond

Even when paying extra for a flexible ticket, Studentuniverse is anything but flexible. Any slight changes will cost ridiculous amounts of money on top of a $50 StudentUniverse fee (even for a flexible ticket).
Spend your money buying tickets directly from the airline, at least you get decent customer service in return.

Edit: there was a flex option added. This is not the first time I'm encountering problems with your company. Please take to heart what hundreds of people are saying about your customer service. Maybe then you can start to improve your company.

Easy way to plan travel
April 7, 2024

This is an easy site to navigate while searching for flights, hotels and other travel plans. I had plenty of options to select from. I felt their prices were competitive if not lower than other outlets. I would use student universe again for any travel plans.
