With summer break just beginning, many students are looking for deals on summer travel. Students are finding that this summer’s flight deals to Europe are noticeably lower than average – even cheaper than some domestic flights – and they are taking advantage.
In June, bookings on StudentUniverse for flights to Europe are up over 7% and flights from Europe to the US are up 15%. The increased popularity of Europe as a destination for students is evidently due to the decrease in airfare prices.
Furthermore, StudentUniverse’s strong partnerships with over 90 global airlines have allowed them to offer steep discounts on airfare for students, resulting in increased discounts and a wider variety of tickets that are below market average.
On StudentUniverse website, summer flights from the US to Europe are an average of 7.7% cheaper than in June of last year. In addition to great fares, students have been taking advantage of StudentUniverse promo codes and have saved an additional USD 75,000, on top of student discount savings, in June alone.
Spain and Greece stand out as the two countries with the biggest change in popularity and flight prices over last year. Their growth in popularity is presumably due to the fact that flights from the US to Spain or Greece are on average 19% cheaper than the previous year. For example, right now students can find roundtrip flights to Madrid for as low as USD 232 or to Barcelona for as low as USD 322 roundtrip in August.
