Students, we’ve got you covered
Whether you’re flying to study abroad, returning home, or planning a getaway in between terms, travel lies at the heart of life as an overseas student.
That’s why we’ve overhauled our student fares, so you can take advantage of exclusive prices, flexible booking options and extra baggage allowances# when travelling to the United States, Europe and Australia.*
#Only available for selected destinations and fare categories
* Passengers who purchase a student fare ticket must present a valid International Student Identity Card (ISIC), student number, student visa or a letter of acceptance from the school for verification when checking in at the airport. Passengers who are unable to present the required documents will be required to pay the fare difference for their flight.
