“As a mom to a first-year college student, I am excited to have my son home for the holidays,” said Carmen Nestares, vice president of U.S. Prime and Marketing Tech at Amazon. “And as travel costs continue to rise, we're happy to help make flying more affordable for Prime Students who want to spend this important time with family and friends. It's another way we're delivering incredible savings, value, and convenience to our Prime Student members each year.”

Everything you get with Prime Student, one of Amazon’s discounted Prime memberships

From books and music to travel, Amazon offers a slew of special perks for students. 

Traveling during the holidays when prices surge can be tough, especially for college students on a budget. In fact, according to a 2023 StudentUniverse survey, holiday travel is often a source of financial stress, with 76% of full-time students aged 18-25 citing financial costs as their greatest travel concern. Still, many are prioritizing travel home. In a recent survey, Prime Student discovered that 79% of college students are saving up for travel, with 43% of those students prioritizing a trip home to see family or a friend.

That’s why Prime Student and StudentUniverse wanted to help by offering members discounted flights during the holiday season this year.
