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.

Fix link for direct access to flight information
June 7, 2023
Updated review

Good price
Easy to navigate
I did receive a confirmation but was unable to access my flight information using the link (green "details" box). It just took me to a search page. It took a while for me to find access. Top right unlabeled menu. So that part could be more user friendly.fix link

Best travel company!
June 6, 2023

Always the best prices, many, many options, and great follow-up. Some of the other travel sites would do well to mimic student universe.

Good experience
June 5, 2023

I had a good experience booking on Student Universe. I was able to book a ticket with a good itinerary and price that is less than 2 weeks away. I also got to use some coupon. I highly recommend StudentUniverse.

Overall, I got the flights I needed for a price that worked with my scholarship. However, the filters and the search function could be improved. For example, when I was filtering by airline, flights I had just been viewing from the intended airline vanished altogether. All in all, good experience.

Flight Costs
June 2, 2023

Everything went well and the checkout process was smooth. The issue I'm having is when I booked the two flights, there was a $50 discount per person for immediate booking. After checking my credit card statement, the $100 discount never applied and it appears that was false advertising. If this is a mistake or there is more time needed to process the $100 off, then okay. If that isn't the case then this is the first and last time I'm using StudentUniverse to ever book anything.

Hi Chris, first of all, congrats on saving another $100 on top of the student fares! 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!
