WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--StudentUniverse, the world’s leading travel booking service for students and youth, today announced the launch of Flights by StudentUniverse, the first native application that provides exclusive flight deals for student and youth travelers (18-25).
The app provides an end-to-end native booking experience, without redirecting users to a mobile site to complete bookings. Flights offers the full inventory of student and youth airfares that are available on StudentUniverse.com, through partnerships with more than 70 airlines worldwide.
The application features:
- A slick design, inspired by boarding passes
- “Flexible date search” options, visually indicating when cheaper options are available
- Filtering options by time, price, airline or by student and youth deals
- Trip details in-application, including for previously booked itineraries
“Mobile is one of the fastest-growing channels in travel. In fact, a lot of our current traffic growth is coming from tablet and mobile. Our audience is doing everything from their phones, and yet when it comes to booking a flight, it can still be a fairly painful process,” said Lucas Lain, director of mobile development, StudentUniverse. “This application makes booking a cheap flight on a mobile phone as seamless as ordering food or requesting a cab. It is a must-have for student travelers looking to find cheap flights.”
Flights is available for free download in the Apple Store. Android and iPad versions are coming soon. Watch our app video to see the app in action and learn more.
