How Students Can Save with Travel Programs

Between late-night study sessions and classes, being a student offers some great perks—especially discounts! Why should museum tickets have all the fun? Read on to learn more about student travel programs and how they can help you save while exploring the world.

Understanding Student Travel Discounts

Let’s start with the basics: How do student rates function?

Wondering about discounted travel programs? Here’s the scoop: Travel providers often collaborate with select airlines to create special rates for students or young adults under 30 (depending on the provider). They determine flight prices for student travelers based on various factors such as route, airline, and seasonality.

What Sets These Fares Apart?

The incredible savings, naturally. While programs may not always disclose your exact savings, discounts on student travel through FLYLA, ScholarTrip, and StudentUniverse can range from 5% to 40% off regular flight prices. Besides the price benefits, student fares often provide more flexibility than standard ones, but be sure to check the fine print before booking.

How Can I Qualify for These Discounts?

Each provider has its own criteria for student fares. Since these exclusive rates are intended for students (or those of student age), programs may require verification to confirm your eligibility. This could depend on your age or other identifiers that validate your status for these discounts.
