The name sounds familiar......but I've never used it. I could be thinking of something else though.

Did you try a quick google search about it? I normally try that to see if anything comes up.

That's how I found it in the first place.

It offers some great deals and discount cards for students, just need to know has anyone had any experiences good or bad via this site??

If it's genuine, it's a bonus to any student looking to do a bit of travelling, even if it's just to uni and back

i remember looking that that when i've planned holidays and city breaks but in the end got cheaper elsewhere!

If it's teh same company as the student flights travel agents then they're fine.

They are indeed genuine. They are based in Keele University student union are a lovely people. Not used them very often though as managed to undercut them on the internet.

If you are doing complicated student travel like study abroad or gap year stuff they are good.

STA Travel are the biggest (and best in my opinion) for all student (and anyone under 26) travel. they have branches on loads of campus's around the uk

Has STA travel got a website??

I can't say whether I've managed to undercut them on flight prices, as you have to wait for them to reply with the costs of your flights. It dosen't tell you there and then.

Just type "STA Travel" in google and it's the first one to appear. Sounds interesting - will have a look! Any experiences with them to share ?

It seems to be part of the Flight Centre family, one of the major travel agency chains. Flight Centre are reliable, I have booked from them before and got good deals.

As mentioned previously, STA are the major player in student travel, although some universities will have a local student travel outlet. There are some other brands who cater to a similar audience, such as Trailfinders, http://www.trailfinders.com

I have used them a few before. A little known policy (which I assume still exists) is that they guarantee to undercut any other offer on the same date/flight etc.

I always go to STA etc first, then go to student flights. If they can't better the price, they usually knock £10-20 off the STA price. (although once it was only £5).

They are reputable and have various branches throughout the country.
