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.

Hi, we saw that you used a promo code. The promotion discount will be refunded to your payment card as another transaction. Since the promotion discount was fully funded by StudentUniverse, not the airlines, customers would have to pay for the full price directly to the airlines for ticketing, and then StudentUniverse would refund the discount. It usually shows up in the bank statement within 3-5 business days. If you have not seen that, feel free to contact our customer service team. Thanks for understanding!

I was skeptical but so far purchasing my ticket and receiving my confirmation was seemless. Let's hope travel goes the same way. If not, I'll update my review.

I received my StudentUniverse Booking Confirmation. I need to upload that information onto my program's portal--as I am sure other students traveling abroad are required to upload such flight information. To do so, however, requires the flight information to be in pdf format. I do not see how/where that pdf option is available. As a result, I am having trouble getting my Thailand flight information into my program's portal.

Hi, sorry for the inconvenience. We suggest you screenshot the flight information and export it to pdf online for free, or with Photoshop if you have it on your computer.

I don't know until I take the flight, so it seemed kind of average to me.

Hi, StudentUniverse is a platform that help people get better deals on flights and hotels. We do not operate any airlines or provide any in-flight service. That's why we ask our customers for feedback based on the booking experience instead of the flight experience. Thanks.

Hi Giti, different airlines have different rules on seat selection. Not all airlines allow free seat selection when booking flights. Some may charge a fee, some may charge more if you pick a premium seat, and some do not allow free selection until 24 hours before departure.
