General Terms & Conditions
The discounts are valid until without a specific travel period. You have to present a valid student ID upon check-in. If you fail to do so, you have to pay the fare difference. Persons of age 31 or older are not eligible for the discounts.
The codes are bound to specific departure countries and only valid on flights to Asia and Australia, namely the following airports:
You can zoom in to get more details. Notably, non-stop flights to Hong Kong are not discounted.
The codes only discounts the airfare, not taxes and surcharges. Because of that, you save roughly 3% for most codes, while departures from Italy or Switzerland actually save 10% or more on economy class tickets.
Also, all codes ease up rebooking conditions. Flex fares allow free changes, while Essential and Light fares come with US$20 (~€17) and US$50 (~€43) penalty, respectively. However, you’d still have to pay the fare difference between your old and new ticket – which usually is way more than the change fee.
