There has been a massive increase in the number of students who take time out from their studies in order to travel the world. Being students they are always on a tight budget and therefore keen to find the best deal possible on everything from hotels to air fares.
Student discounted air fares are often on offer directly from various airlines. Its always a good idea to pay a quick visit to the airline websites just to see if they have any current student offers. Luckily there are a growing number of excellent websites that cater for student travellers.
Student Universe is one of these websites. They are an online student travel agency who know exactly what students are looking for and the most popular student destinations at various times of the year. You will need to register on their site and provide details that will confirm your student status.
There is, of course, the well known STA (student travel agency) and the popular Travel Cuts websites. To take advantage of these services you will need an International Student Identity Card.
Orbitz is another excellent site for student travel discounts. They are also great for cut price domestic flights for students.
To get the best possible deals you need to make your travel plans as early as possible. The old saying ‘The Early Bird Gets the Worm’ was never truer than when looking for discounted airfares. The earlier you can book your flight the greater your discount is likely to be.
Another useful tip is to be flexible. If you can be flexible about your destination, your departure date and your flight times you will stand a greater chance of getting the best possible deal. For example, weekday flights will tend to cost far less than weekend flights.
I hope that these few suggestions will help you to find great deals on student air fares.
For great savings on Gatwick parking and Heathrow parking be sure to book well in advance. Also, be certain never to travel without adequate travel insurance.
