“I’ll be home for Christmas” can be an expensive promise for college students to keep. Flying halfway across the country on a ramen noodle budget is tough, but Amazon just rolled out a promotion for students and young adults to travel anywhere in the US for just $25. It’s one of the best travel deals we’ve seen ahead of the holidays.
If there’s a catch, it’s that available slots are limited. Amazon is dropping a total of 5,000 $25 flights, releasing 1,000 a day, starting today through Dec 13. The promotion covers one-way or round trip tickets in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., with a value of up to $700. The tickets become available at 10 a.m. PST each day of the promotion, and the eligible period for outbound flights is between Dec. 9 and Dec. 25, while return flights must be before Jan. 14.
The promotion is offered in partnership with StudentUniverse and is available to young adults between 18-24 who have a Prime young adult membership. It’s a great option for college students, but the offer is available to anyone in the age range with a Prime Young Adult membership — you don’t have to be a student to take advantage.
Amazon’s Young Adult subscription is one of the best discounts for students. Outside of the current offer, students can also save up to 10% on flights and hotels, on top of standard Prime benefits like fast, free shipping, access to Prime Video and Amazon Music Prime, and unlimited photo storage through Amazon Photos.
If you’re a student who’s 25 or older, you can also take advantage of Amazon’s discounted Prime membership, which costs $7.49/mo, a savings of 50% after getting the first 6 months free. However, Amazon’s $25 flight offer is not available for students 25 or over.
In order to sign up, adults 18-24 can verify their eligibility using an ID or passport, while students of any age can sign up by entering their University, name, and date of birth or signing up with a .edu email address. You can read the full terms and conditions here.
