Used by millions each year, they offer their members extra special rates on flights, hotels and tours that can’t be found anywhere else - allowing students to travel more and spend less. Best of all, membership is free. 

Their unique pricing and terms are negotiated specifically for the student demographic through contracts with their world class partners and more than 90 airlines. But it’s more than just great deals - StudentUniverse are on a mission to make global experiences accessible and affordable. They believe travel is essential to a modern education and students deserve to gain an enlightened and inspiring sense of the world through early exploration.

StudentUniverse was launched in 2000 and acquired by FCTG in 2015. Their headquarters are in Boston, with global offices in London, Toronto, New York and the Philippines, so you could say they (almost) rule the universe.
