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

To access Austrian Airlines' student fares, first create or sign in to a Travel ID account. After logging in, navigate to the Profile section and complete the student verification process. Verification is a one-time process that remains valid for one year and may require documents such as a student ID, university acceptance letter, or other proof of enrollment if requested. Once your student status is approved, return to the dedicated Student Fares page while logged into your Travel ID account and search for flights. Be sure to select fares marked with the "Student" label, as only these include student benefits like discounted pricing and additional baggage. Student fares cannot be booked through the mobile app and are only available on eligible Lufthansa Group-operated routes departing from supported countries.
