Amazon and Student Universe Offer $25 Flights for Students this Holiday Season
ICARO Media Group
In an effort to make holiday travel more affordable for college students, Amazon has partnered with Student Universe to offer a flash sale on airfare. As part of this limited-time offer, 1,000 tickets per day are being made available for just $25 per flight.
Starting from today until Thursday, students who hold an Amazon Prime Student account can take advantage of this incredible deal. However, Tuesday's tickets have already sold out, so interested students should be ready for the upcoming sales on Wednesday and Thursday, both starting at 12 a.m. PST/3 a.m. EST.
To qualify for the discounted flights, students must be willing to travel between December 8 and January 14, 2024. Upon logging into the booking website during the sale period, users need to enter their departure airport, destination, and preferred travel dates, just like booking a regular flight.
All departures must take place between December 8 and December 25, and return flights must be completed by January 14, 2024. The $25 fare is applicable to both one-way and round-trip tickets, but only one ticket can be purchased at a time.
Carmen Nestares, Vice President of U.S. Prime and Marketing Tech at Amazon, expressed her excitement about the offer, saying, "As a mom to a first-year college student, I am excited to have my son home for the holidays. And as travel costs continue to rise, we're happy to help make flying more affordable for Prime Students who want to spend this important time with family and friends. It's another way we're delivering incredible savings, value, and convenience to our Prime Student members each year."
For those who miss out on the flash sale, an alternative offer will be available, providing a $25 discount on any flight booked through the Student Universe website.
Amazon's Prime Student service is open to individuals aged 18 to 24 years or those who are enrolled in college classes. Anyone interested in taking advantage of the discounted flights will need to verify their age and/or student status to sign up for an account.
This holiday travel opportunity aims to lighten the financial burden for students who may not have the means to travel home. By aligning with Student Universe, Amazon continues to provide great value to its Prime Student members, ensuring that they can enjoy the festive season with their loved ones.
