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.

Some surprises with the booking
November 24, 2022

I didn't realize initially that the cost shown did not include choosing seats. When I selected seats, there was an added charge (which was clear before I submitted the final payment). But probably if I had let the airline choose the seats for me, there would be no extra charge. Everything ended up more expensive, especially with other add-ons that seemed important (such as ability to change the flight, even if the airline has a problem).

Great prices
October 24, 2022

StudentUniverse offers the best prices from any other website that I visited for any of my trips! The only thing I would improve is the baggage price information, as it is rarely available.

Hi Hannah, thanks for the feedback! You can find the baggage info at the search result page (next to "details") and checkout page under "important flight information". However, some budget airlines do not have the info available right away; you may need to go to the airlines' pages to find out. As they are budget airlines, they charge differently based on when you would like to purchase your bags. If you have other questions, feel free to contact our customer service. Thanks!

Luggage information
October 24, 2022

I love booking from student universe. You have a good deal, just it will be better if you give information about the luggage allowance or the price to buy that (or maybe the option to buy that in the booking)

The booking up my flight was fairly straightforward all I have to do is look up the time and the dates of when I want to go and multiple options popped up.

I did like ten pictures of my credit card. And it was under my name, name of the traveller. Seems like too much.
