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.

Hi, sorry that your booking was not successful. Since the transaction was flagged by the system, we sent you an email regarding the issue and requested more docs for verification. However, we did not receive any updates from you hence the transaction was canceled. If you would like to purchase another ticket, please reach out to our customer service and we'd love to help you.

Hi James, thanks for the feedback. Once your booking is confirmed, you will receive an airline reservation code. Many airlines allow passengers to select seats online so you could head to the airline's website and manage your booking, including seat selection. Thanks!

Hi, thanks for the feedback! We also sell public fares, which oftentimes are the same prices as those on the airlines' websites. However, if you have a StudentUniverse promo code, you can save more!

Easy to use, cheap tickets
October 7, 2022

Great prices and easy to find a ticket that best suits personal preferences. However, Confirming order within the next day with ID is a bit inconvenient.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. Sometimes there are transactions flagged by the system and we would like to make sure it is the credit/debit card holder that authorizes the payment. We understand it is a bit inconvenient but it helps protect the information for the credit/debit card holder as well as the passenger. We appreciate your trust and confirmation!
