Are you looking for a Christmas miracle to afford a flight home for the holidays? If you’re a young adult age 18 to 24, Amazon might have you covered. The retail giant has teamed up with StudentUniverse to sell 5,000 plane tickets for only $25 each every day this week for travel between Dec. 9, 2024, and Jan. 14, 2025.
To take advantage of the deal, you’ll need to be subscribed to Amazon’s Prime for Young Adults plan, and you’ll need to further verify your age or if you’re a student, but that all may be worth it if you can score a $25 flight.
Here’s what you need to know about how to buy these discounted flights from Amazon. For more, here are our favorite school deals this year, our picks for best student laptops and the best student deals and discounts.
What is Amazon’s Prime Student and Young Adult $25 plane ticket offer?
If you’re a college student or between 18 and 24 years old and do any shopping on Amazon, it’s not hard to make a case for signing up for a Prime account tailored to you. When you sign up, the first six months of a Student or Young Adults plan are free, and then it’s $69 a year for four years if you have the student plan, or until you age out if you are on the young adult plan. (A regular Prime membership is $139 per year.)
Once again, Amazon is joining with StudentUniverse to offer several thousand $25 flights you can book between Dec. 9, 2024, and Jan. 14, 2025. The offer is for a one-way domestic ticket within the US, including Washington, DC, while supplies last.
Amazon said it’s making available 1,000 tickets to Prime Student and Young Adult subscribers each day for five days, starting at 10 a.m. PST on Dec. 9, and running through Dec. 13. To participate, you need to head to the StudentUniverse $25 flights page at amazon.com/25flights.
Be sure you’ve logged in with your Student Prime or Young Adults Prime account. And don’t be late.
