Every time I have searched for plane tickets in the past I have thought 'oh why not try STA - might get a better deal' and when I do I wish that i hadn't bothered. I certainly expect the Student Travel to give students proper discounts, but compared with other prices I have seen online they simply don't. I have yet to purchase anything through them as I have always found a cheaper offer on the Internet.

I think students trust this organisation far too much, and that they really can't be bothered to look around for themselves. A friend of mine purchased tickets through them and they phoned back a few hours later and told her that the price they had quoted was actually wrong and should have been more expensive. So they were going to charge her the extra - lucky I was there to sort the situation out. She didn't pay a penny more. This experience made me lose all faith in their service - I don't bother to even ask for a quote anymore. I just visit travel websites where you get a better deal, better service and you don't waste your time, and that's what I would recommend any student to do!

Not a useful opinion as you have no experience of using the company!
