Beware of hidden fees. You think that the payment that you do is final, but the airline charge you with fees to book through studentuniverse.

Hi Alice, could you tell us more about the hidden fees? StudentUniverse never charges any hidden fees that are not listed on your invoice.

The process is very clear and easy no doubt. But what happens once you book? The picture is not clear at all and very confusing.

Hi, we saw that you used a promo code. The promotion discount will be refunded to your payment card as another transaction. Since the promotion discount was fully funded by StudentUniverse, not the airlines, customers would have to pay for the full price directly to the airlines for ticketing, and then StudentUniverse would refund the discount. It usually shows up in the bank statement within 3-5 business days. If you have not seen that, feel free to contact our customer service team. Thanks for understanding!

Hi Elizabeth, sorry you felt that way. Most of the bookings will be confirmed and ticketed within 24 hours; passengers could contact us if it exceeds 24 hours. Your booking was confirmed and ticketed 3 hours after payment received.

The site was overwhelmed so I understand, but it was kind of annoying to have to keep reopening the website. But once it worked, it was great.

Reason I chose this business:

The promotion is offered in partnership with Amazon students.

I received my booking and my birthday was wrong. I called immediately and you said I would have to pay to change it. That is wrong.

Smooth experience. The flight tickets were quite cheap but the same price as on the airlines website. However, the insurance was quite cheap.
