The holidays are nearly here and students heading home for the season can now score flights for just $25 thanks to a partnership between Amazon Prime and StudentUniverse.
The super discounted tickets are available for Prime Student members (both new and current) to domestic locations across the United States in all 50 states and Washington D.C., the company told Travel + Leisure. As part of the promotion, the company will give away 3,000 $25 tickets — 1,000 each day — from Dec. 5 through Dec. 7.
“As a mom to a first-year college student, I am excited to have my son home for the holidays,” Carmen Nestares, the vice president of U.S. Prime and marketing tech at Amazon, said in a statement shared with T+L. “And as travel costs continue to rise, we’re happy to help make flying more affordable for Prime Students who want to spend this important time with family and friends. It’s another way we’re delivering incredible savings, value, and convenience to our Prime Student members each year.”
To score the cheap flights, Prime Student members can go online at 6 a.m. PT on Dec. 5, and at midnight PT on Dec. 6 and Dec. 7. Travelers who score the promotional flights will be able to book tickets for outbound travel between Dec. 8 and Dec. 25, and return travel between Dec. 8 and Jan. 14, 2024.
Each student is only allowed to book one flight for $25, for a maximum discounted rate of up to $500.
Students who aren’t able to snag one of the special $25 flights can still save, however, by using the promo code “PRIME25” to take $25 off any domestic flights by booking through 11:59 p.m. PT on Dec. 8.
Beyond the flight deal, travelers looking to save some money should consider traveling on Dec. 18 for Christmas, which is the least expensive day around the holiday.
