How to Get Trip.com Student Discount on Flights (Simple Steps)

• Go to the Trip.com Student Flight page. OR: Go to Trip.com’s main site > Flights > Enter your route/dates > On the results page, click "Filters" > Tick "Student Fare".
• Pick a flight labeled "Student Fare" or "Student Discount".

• Book normally: Fill in passenger details.
• PROVE YOU'RE A STUDENT (Mandatory):
• • During checkout, Trip.com will ask you to upload ONE of these:
  • • ✅ Current Student ID (must show your name, photo, school name, and valid expiry date).
    • ✅ Official University Acceptance Letter (for new students).
  • DO THIS IMMEDIATELY. Your booking isn't confirmed until they approve it (usually takes minutes/hours).
• Bring the SAME ID to the airport. The airline will check it at check-in. No ID = no fly (or pay full price).

1. Use Trip.com’s "Student Fare" filter EVERY time you search flights (even if not on the deals page).
2. Fly on cheap days: Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday = lowest prices. Avoid Sundays & Mondays.
3. Search incognito/private browsing: Sites track you. Prices go up if you search the same route repeatedly.
4. Set price alerts: On Trip.com, Google Flights, or Skyscanner. Get emails when prices drop.
5. Try nearby airports: Flying into "London Stansted" instead of "Heathrow" can save $100+.
6. Travel off-season: Europe in October? Asia in May? Cheaper flights, fewer crowds.
7. Pack carry-on ONLY: Avoid $30-$100+ checked bag fees each way.
8. Book 2-3 months early for peak season (summer, holidays). Last minute rarely = cheap for students.
