Don't Expect them to book everything you pay for! Day before my flight back and I'm trying to confirm my seat and the airline is telling me they didn't receive the extra money I paid for my seat and now I'm subject to more fees!! I had travel protection and it still only got me a 7 day later refund. Book directly, it is definitely cheaper with a flight watch and the airlines guaranteed.

Everything has been smooth so far Everything has been smooth so far. I recently purchased United Airlines tickets for a round trip from Los Angeles to Milan. After adding the itinerary to my United Account, I double-checked everything—it’s all in order. In my view, the folks who’ve had a tough time are probably the ones whose flights got canceled or needed rebooking. When you book through a third-party website (whether it’s for car rentals, hotels, or airlines), handling changes or cancellations can be more challenging. For a hassle-free experience, my recommendation is to book directly with the specific company you’re planning to use. However, if you’re looking to save some cash and don’t anticipate any changes or cancellations, going with a third-party website can score you significant discounts. Remember to compare prices; sometimes, third-party platforms offer better deals.

Cheap prices Cheap prices. Easy to use website. Fast confirmation of my student position. Only thing I would say is that if you buy connecting/jumping flights it may be cheaper than direct/connect flights and Student Universe doesn't point that out.

They’re so difficult to work with They’re so difficult to work with. Zero customer service. You can never get anyone on the phone and their flights are way more expensive then what they claim they will be.

Gap Year Trip to Australia My daughter and I booked her flight from London to Australia during her gap year (2023-2024). Unfortunately, the airline changed part of her trip back to the UK, which meant she would miss her connection. I called Student Universe, I was answered quickly by a gentleman called Nick. Nick was super helpful, courteous, patient and articulate. He came across as an expert in his field and was fast and efficient in accommodating my daughters wishes for her trip back home. I will definitely use Student Universe in the future, as this experience tells me they are ready to assist their customers when and wherever they need help. Definitely worth the 5 stars!
