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.

Love the concept
July 3, 2023

Love that student universe is trying to give young folks more opportunities to travel affordably. It's a quirky site, though. It took several tries for reservations to confirm for no good reason.

Question?
July 2, 2023

Do I go onto StudentUniverse to access my ticket information before the flight, to on to British Airways web page, or will you send me my ticket just before departure?

Hi, you could find out the your booking info on either StudentUniverse or the airline's web/app. As long as you have the reservation code, you could manage your booking online and check in your flight at the airport or online.

Great for flying with out bags
July 2, 2023

The prices were great, but the bags end up sky rocketing your ticket

Hi Kaleb, thanks for the feedback. We totally get your frustration when it comes to bag fees. Different airlines charge differently based on routes and cabins. However, budget airlines may have higher fees for bags as they are so-called "budget". We recommend compare various airlines and find out the best for you. Thanks.
