Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I book my flights?

For international student travel, we recommend booking flights 3-5 months before your intended departure date. This timeframe typically offers the best balance of availability and pricing. For travel during peak seasons (summer, December holidays), consider booking 5-6 months in advance. Last-minute bookings (less than one month before departure) often result in significantly higher prices and limited options. Our travel specialists can advise on the optimal booking window based on your specific route and time of year.

What is the typical luggage allowance for international students?

Luggage allowances vary by airline and ticket class. Most international flights permit 1-2 checked bags (typically 23-32kg/50-70lbs each), one carry-on bag (usually 7-10kg/15-22lbs), and one personal item. Many airlines offer increased baggage allowances for international students, which we can help you access. We advise checking specific airline policies and considering additional baggage purchases in advance, as adding bags at the airport is significantly more expensive. We provide personalized guidance on packing strategies to maximize your allowance while meeting your essential needs.

What travel insurance do international students need?

International students typically need comprehensive insurance that covers health care, emergency medical evacuation, trip cancellation/interruption, baggage loss/delay, and personal liability. Many countries and universities have specific minimum insurance requirements for student visas. For example, Schengen countries require coverage of at least €30,000, while Australia requires Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC). We recommend insurance that specifically caters to international students, which typically offers better coverage for academic-related issues, mental health support, and pre-existing conditions at more competitive rates than standard travel insurance.

How does the airport pickup service work?

Our airport pickup service follows a simple process: 1) You provide your flight details and accommodation address; 2) We confirm your pickup with reliable, vetted transportation providers; 3) Prior to travel, you receive the driver's contact information, meeting point details, and emergency contacts; 4) Upon arrival, the driver meets you at a designated area (typically holding a sign with your name); 5) You're transported directly to your accommodation with assistance for luggage. We monitor your flight for delays and adjust pickup times accordingly. You'll have 24/7 emergency support contacts in case of any issues during the process.

What transportation apps or passes should I get for my study destination?

The most useful transportation tools vary by location. In London, the Oyster card or contactless payment and Citymapper app are essential. In New York, the MTA app and MetroCard are key. Tokyo students benefit from a Suica/Pasmo card and Japan Transit Planner. Most major cities have student transportation discounts, which may require student ID verification. We provide location-specific guidance for your destination, including information on student transit passes, recommended apps, and the most cost-effective payment methods for your regular commute and weekend exploration.

What should I do if my flight is delayed or canceled?

If your flight is delayed or canceled: 1) Contact the airline immediately to understand your rebooking options; 2) Notify our travel assistance team using the emergency contact provided; 3) If necessary, we'll help you rebook flights and adjust any connected services (airport pickup, accommodation check-in); 4) Keep all receipts for additional expenses for potential insurance claims; 5) If stranded overnight, we can assist with finding temporary accommodation. Our service includes 24/7 emergency support specifically for travel disruptions, ensuring you have assistance regardless of time zone differences.
