It sounds too good to be true, but it only kind of is: Amazon is offering students $25 flights home this holiday season. Of course, not every student gets the deal—but if you’re a Prime Student member, you could be one of the lucky ones. Dec. 7 is your last day to try for the promotion. Here’s how to enter.
Who is eligible for the $25 flights?
Amazon is collaborating with StudentUniverse on the deal, and offering it to its Prime Student members—so, of course, you have to have Prime Student. Prime Student is a half-off Amazon Prime membership only for college students. Members get all the stuff that regular Prime users get, like speedier delivery, access to Prime Video and Amazon Music, free food delivery via Grubhub, and a month of free AI-powered study help from Course Hero. After your six-month trial, it costs $69 per year. It’s not a bad deal, provided you’re part of the Amazon ecosystem (aren’t we all?).
Products to consider:
Consider picking up these items for a smoother flight.
A portable foot hammock so you can stretch out $12.95
An inflatable travel pillow with an eye mask, ear plugs, and a travel bag $20.99
A compact blanket in a case $21.77
A flexible stand for your tablet or phone $11.99
How do you book the $25 holiday flights?
Prime Student members can go to this link tomorrow, Dec. 7, for a chance to secure one of 1,000 $25 flight tickets available that day. Qualifying travel includes domestic flights that leave some time between Dec. 8 and 25, with a return flight (if applicable) between Dec. 8 and Jan. 14, 2024.
Amazon and StudentUniverse’s goal, per a press release, is “to make holiday travel more affordable for students.” (Actually, their goal is to get you to sign up for a Prime Student membership and/or to harvest your data, but I’ll let them pat themselves on the back a little.)
The 1,000 tickets will become available at 12 a.m. PST/3 a.m. EST, so set an alarm and be ready to click in early to try to get yours. If you don’t land the $25 ticket, StudentUniverse will show you cheap flights for your preferred travel days, while Amazon Student can provide additional discounts, provided you have an account with both and are logged in when you try for your cheap flight.
