Austrian Airlines Student Discount

How to Claim the Austrian Airlines Student Discount

Austrian Airlines offers exclusive student fares designed for eligible students traveling to or from selected countries. Instead of a fixed percentage discount, these special fares provide reduced ticket prices, flexible rebooking options, refund eligibility on most fares, and an enhanced baggage allowance, typically 2 checked bags of 23 kg each on most eligible routes. Student fares are available for both one-way and return journeys on selected Lufthansa Group-operated flights, making them particularly valuable for students studying abroad, exchange programs, or long-term international travel. Eligibility generally requires travelers to be at least 16 years old and currently enrolled in a higher education institution or able to provide proof of university admission.

Verification Process

• Create or sign in to your Austrian Airlines Travel ID account.

• Go to the Profile section and complete the student verification process.

• Complete the one-time verification, which remains valid for one year.

• Provide proof of student status if requested, such as a student ID or university acceptance letter.

• Once verified, visit the dedicated Student Fares page while logged in.

• Search for flights and select fares marked with the "Student" label to access discounted prices and additional baggage benefits.

• Book through the website, as student fares are not available through the mobile app.

• Make sure your route is eligible, as student fares are limited to selected Lufthansa Group-operated flights departing from supported countries.
