Unlike standard leisure discounts, Student Fares (STU) are specialized airfares crafted specifically for students relocating abroad for higher education. Whether you are heading to the UK, US, Australia, or beyond, these fares address the real challenges of moving to a new country—giving you extra luggage space, extended ticket validity, and maximum flexibility for peace of mind.
In standard commercial airfares, purchasing a one-way ticket can often be disproportionately expensive—sometimes costing almost as much as a full round-trip ticket. Student Fares eliminate this burden by offering dedicated, cost-effective one-way pricing. This is ideal for students holding long-term student visas who do not yet have a fixed return date.
Relocating for months or years means packing more than just a vacation outfit. Depending on the airline, Student Fares provide extra baggage allowance (such as up to 40kg+ or an additional checked bag for free), saving you from heavy excess baggage fees at the airport.
Academic calendars, exam dates, and visa approvals can change. Student Fares offer flexible booking conditions, allowing you to alter your travel dates with waived or significantly reduced change fees.
While standard tourist tickets usually expire within weeks or months, Student Fares offer long-term validity (up to 12 months), accommodating full academic years with complete peace of mind.
