Do you need a StudentUniverse promo code?
No. The StudentUniverse brand now lives under BYOjet. On the BYOjet site, student savings come from verifying your student status, not from a code. The official pages we checked list no promo codes at all. BYOjet’s terms only mention a “Saving off your next trip” gift voucher, linked to its Priority Support option, and say it cannot be combined with any other voucher, offer or promotion.
Coupon sites still show StudentUniverse codes. They come from before the switch to BYOjet, and you can’t use them on a booking site that has closed. Stanford University’s travel office, for example, announced that the StudentUniverse booking portal would close on June 2, 2025.
How to get the most out of StudentUniverse (now BYOjet)
- Search first, then unlock. On the search results page, select the “Unlock discounts” prompt. BYOjet only shows student pricing after this step.
- Enter each traveler’s age. Only travelers aged 18–25 qualify.
- Complete student verification. Fill in your student details and click the button to finish verifying. Any discounts you qualify for are then added to the total price.
- Compare with the normal fare. Discounts only apply on selected airlines, so check whether the discount really lowers the total on your route.
- Pay in full to lock the price. BYOjet’s terms say the price is only guaranteed once the booking is paid in full.
- Weigh travel insurance. BYOjet notes that travel insurance may cover fare cancellation penalties. That matters if your semester dates might change.
Who is eligible for student fares?
BYOjet’s official FAQ lists the requirements for student discounts:
- Age 18–25
- A current full-time student with a valid ID
- Subject to student verification and airline eligibility
The official pages don’t mention a teacher discount or a youth fare for non-students. Under the old StudentUniverse, some fares were open to young travelers who weren’t students. BYOjet’s current FAQ asks for student status as well as age. The BYOjet for Students page also says the brand now offers deals to everyone, whatever their age or student status. Those are regular fares, though, not student discounts.
Flights and hotels: what you can book now
The BYOjet homepage has flight search for return, one-way and multi-stop trips, in economy, premium economy, business and first class. BYOjet’s general terms mention flight, hotel and car hire services. The homepage we checked, however, only shows flight search and no hotel deals. If you used StudentUniverse mostly for hotels, compare prices on other sites before booking.
Change, cancel and refund rules
BYOjet’s US terms (Flight Centre Travel Group (USA) Inc, trading as BYOjet) list these service fees per passenger, per booking. Airline fees come on top:
- Domestic US flights: $45 to cancel, $45 to make a change
- Flights to or from outside the US: $185 to cancel, $100 to make a change
Whether you can cancel depends on your fare rules. The help center says some refunds take 12 weeks or longer, depending on the airline. On a partial cancellation, you only get money back if the fare is refundable. On non-refundable fares, you may still get unused taxes back. BYOjet doesn’t offer a price-match guarantee, and prices can change until you pay in full.
