What you get at StudentUniverse

Discounted student airfares with more than 200 airline partners, plus hotels and separate young-adult fares. Booking an account is free; the discounted prices only appear once you verify.

Who qualifies for the StudentUniverse student discount

Students currently enrolled and taking classes at a government-accredited 2 or 4-year college, community college or university, part-time included, and graduate students. High schools are not accepted. Young-adult fares need no school at all, usually ages 18-25 and up to 35 on some airlines.

How to verify StudentUniverse’s student discount

  1. 1
    Prove your enrollment to StudentUniverse
    StudentUniverse verifies you in the flight search: give your date of birth for young-adult fares and your school details for student fares. A school-issued .edu address is not required, the site walks you through other ways to prove enrolment. Enrolment is confirmed at the time of purchase.

    Apply it at StudentUniverse checkout

    Verification is stored in your browser cache, so you re-verify when you change device or browser or clear cookies.

Limits and exclusions

Student-only fares can only be bought by the verified student, not for non-student companions. Anyone may use the site, but only verified students see the student prices.

Other brands that verify students themselves

StudentUniverse checks you itself, so nothing carries over — each of these asks for its own proof.
