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.

Convenient and Affordable
May 18, 2023

The process of booking with StudentUniverse was very easy and helps when prices are affordable. They even check in with you to make sure you've received all of your booking information.

Not realize fees for basic economic seats
June 17, 2023
Updated review

Have to pay seat fees even if the seats are the basic economic ones. This is not expected

Hi, sorry that you felt that way. We follow the airline's guidance and some airlines do charge fees for seat selection and may charge more for premium seats.

Worst experience ever. We entered the last name of one of the passengers and to correct the name these guys were charging crazy make things too complicated where the actual airlines are willing to make the change. Please do not go with this.

Hi, we follow the airlines' policy in terms of name change. Some allow name change for a fee. We highly recommend passengers spell their names correctly and double check the names with their legal documents.
