Do Airlines Offer Student Discounts Or Perks?

Various carriers have schemes in places to make travel easier for students.

To be eligible for the student discount, you must meet the following conditions:

• Be aged between 16 and 31 years old;
• Be a full-time student (those studying part-time courses cannot benefit from the discount, unfortunately);
• And have a valid and current student ID or acceptance letter from an accredited school, college or university of higher education.

Note that the discount can only be booked for one student per booking and cannot be applied to previously purchased tickets.

How to book

If you satisfy the eligibility criteria, you’re all set to book your discounted tickets! The process is fairly straightforward and similar to how you would book an ordinary Emirates flight ticket.

Step 1: Search for tickets on your intended route

Start by searching for your desired flight – simply visit the Emirates website or mobile app and enter your travel details, including your departure city, destination, travel dates, and class of travel. You will only be able to book for one passenger if using the student discount.

Step 2: Enter the student discount promo code

Next, in the “Promotional offers” field, enter the promo code “STUDENT” to apply the discount. Keep in mind that fares and benefits may be subject to availability, so always read the fine print before booking. It’s also advised that you book your flights as early as possible to secure the best deals.

Step 3: Select your preferred flight

Once you’ve entered your flight details and promo code, you will be shown a list of available flights for your selected travel route and dates. Pick the flight you want, then proceed to the passenger details page.

Step 4: Enter your details

To proceed with your booking, you will be asked to provide your first and last names and date of birth. Make sure the names you enter exactly match your passport as this cannot be changed once you have completed your booking.

If you are a member of the carrier’s frequent flyer program, Emirates Skywards, provide your membership number to earn points on your flight. Members of select partner airline frequent flyer programs also have the opportunity to earn miles on their Emirates flight. Partner airline options are dependent on your route – for example, Qantas Frequent Flyer members can earn Qantas Points on the Dubai to Melbourne, Australia, route.

Step 5: Pay for your tickets

During the booking process, you’ll be prompted to provide your payment information. Once your booking is complete, you’ll receive a confirmation email with your e-ticket and itinerary details. Be sure to review the terms and conditions of your booking, including any cancelation or change policies, to ensure a smooth travel experience.

Step 6: Verify your student status

Before you can take advantage of Emirates’ student discounts, you’ll need to verify your student status. Even if you have paid for the discounted student fare, you will not be allowed on the flight until you prove that you are a student.

Present your valid and current student ID or acceptance letter from an accredited school, college or university of higher education at check-in. Failure to do so will result in your student ticket and benefits being forfeited. Instead, a new ticket at the applicable fare on the day of the departure will be applied.

All set? You’re ready to go!
