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.

To Bag or Not to Bag?
March 17, 2023

The site advertised an additional fee to get a checked bag included and choose my seat. It didn't say all seats would cost extra and the checked bag wouldn't be detailed on the invoice.

Double charge
March 15, 2023

The flight ticket money was deducted more than the actual amount stated in the flight receipt. I have sent mail to make complaint but am yet to get a feed back.
Thank you

Misleading
April 13, 2023

This was the cheapest flight, and it wasn't clear from Studentuniverse what the baggage policy was, and of course, I had to suspect this was the trick.

Only after I booked, it became clear that there are no bags - nnpt even a carryon! - and I have to pay a huge sum (40% of the ticket cost) just to add a carry-on, making it more expensive than other more straightforward options on other search engines.

Will never use Studentuniverse again for sure
