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.

Very bad experience
November 11, 2022

I have booked a ticket from sfo to London and my luggage cost isn't even included in my flight ticket. This is really frustrating as no information is provided about this during the booking and do you expect your traveler to travel such a long flight with 0 bags? This is so annoying. Upon that no end-to-end assistance is provided I was asked to contact the airline for making this purchase and to ask about carrying on bag. I have booked a round flight and do you really want me to call 2 different airlines to ask about my luggage?

Hi, sorry you felt this way. When customers perform a flight search, they will see the flight details as well as the baggage on our search result page. When customers click the button of baggage, they will see the prices of 1st and 2nd checked bags. We also provide a link to the airline's website so customers can check the pricing directly on there too. If customers miss that info, on the next page, the checkout page, we also display baggage info under important flight information session. The pricing and policy of baggage are determined by the airlines, so unfortunately, StudentUniverse cannot decide whether they should be free or not. There is only one airline responsible for your return flight, so you don't have to ask two different airlines; you can also check the info on the airline's website. Thanks.

Go-to for Flights
October 10, 2022

StudentUniverse has been my go-to for flight booking since I was an undergraduate studying hundreds of miles from home. And now as I pursue my Masters abroad it continues to be a critical budgeting tool for me!
