The date schedule helps in choosing when your travel dates are flexible and some of the student discounts are great!

My plane tickets were a little pricey, but that's to be expected when you purchase tickets for a certain period.

First time: Booked wrong hotel room with hotel after telling me I had two bedrooms, argued with me about it, etc.

SECOND TIME: The day before I leave to go see my sick Grandmother, I look to check in to my flight that had been booked two months before. Long story short my flight didn't exist anymore: the airline I was using was a small contract airline that had cancelled all their flights. I WAS THE ONE that had to find that out. They never contacted me.

Then they tell me it isn't their fault my flight was cancelled and I had to go to the other airline. However this airline wouldn't respond to me. But it would respond to student universe for whatever reason.

None of the customer service representatives, and I mean NONE OF THEM, over the past 4 trips or so I have used know what they are doing. And they don't understand the fact that if I give them money, it is their job to refund me. NOT someone elses.

They are poor communicators, and youll talk to one person that will say we will email you the same day (they don't), so you call them again and another representative says something different.

TERRIBLE COMPANY.

Hi there, We're really sorry you've been disappointed in your experiences with us! If a flight is changed or cancelled, you should receive an email notification for the change at the email address on your account. However, flight changes and cancellations by the airline are out of our control, and so refunds and changes must be approved by the airline as well. If you would like us to look into anything further for you, we'd be happy to help. Just send us a DM with your email and invoice number.

I made sure to look for low prices and though this app I found my go to flight app. It's good cheap and clear for me. Keep up the excellent work!

Reason I chose this business:

Because I’m a student and mostly because of the deals. But this site has the best deals out of all my other flight apps.

The add-ons might look necessary to those who are new to buying tickets. Really they are not necessary at all, cunning, sneaky, and annoying.

Reason I chose this business:

Cheap options

* StudentUniverse attempted to help this customer through the Sitejabber Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond

Hi B., sorry that you disliked the add-ons. However, you could simply click no or skip to proceed to the next steps. Have a wonderful flight!
