Frequently asked questions about booking flights
How do I compare flight prices?
When searching for the cheapest price possible for your flight it is a great idea to compare airfare prices before you book. And it’s super easy to do just that right from StudentUniverse. Just scroll to the top of this page and input your desired travel route. Then check which sites you want to compare prices on and click the “compare selected” button. After that you’ll be able to see the various deals around the internet and find the deal that’s best for you. Another way to compare flight prices is by using flexible date search. When you search a trip with us, just select “flexible” so you can see various dates around what you’ve selected. Sometimes leaving a day earlier or later can make hundred of dollars of difference!
Should I wait to book my flight?
If you should wait to book your flight is dependent on how far away that trip is at this point. In general, the cheapest booking window for airline tickets varies when it comes to domestic travel versus international trips. Expect to book your domestic trip in the window between 3 weeks and 3 months before travel. For international trips, best fares usually fall between 2 to 8 months ahead of time. Last minute deals or convenient promo codes can help lower prices if those windows have already passed by for you, though. But the best way to increase your chance of scoring a great fare no matter where you’re headed is to stay organized and monitor those airline ticket prices.

How can I find the cheapest flight using StudentUniverse?
No matter where you plan to fly you can get discounted travel deals. The first step to booking the best deals is to verify your student status on your account (if you’re a student) - that way you’ll have those deals displayed to you. After that just explore what options are available for the trip you want to book. If you have some flexibility, we recommend using the flexible search tool to see the price points for all the travel dates near what you’ve selected. Sometimes flying out just a day or two off from your original plan can make a huge price difference. Also keep in mind that larger airports often have lower prices, so if you have options between what airport to use, search them all to see where your best deal is. Lastly, consider joining our newsletter or downloading our app that way you can stay informed on all our sales and deals.
