🐨 Koala's offers (Live & available soon)

Our partnership with Koala makes 3 different versions of insurance packages available: 

Firstly, there is the option for "Cancellation without reason" with which you can cancel your flight with just a few clicks up to 48h before takeoff and get a refund of 80%!

Coming soon: "Flight cancellations and delays" and "Full protection"

Secondly, there is the option for "Flight cancellation and delays"
This allows you to receive compensation for every flight that is delayed for more than 3 hours or canceled while not rescheduled. In case something happens, you immediately receive 200€

Thirdly, we have the option to combine both of the insurances called "Full protection". You receive all the features from the individual insurances mentioned above.
This means: You receive a refund of 80% in case you cancel your flight while having no reason or proof to provide as well as 200€ directly on your account in case of a flight annulation.
This would always be our choice! 

Tick the box that suits you the most at the end of the booking process! It's that easy ;)
It looks just like this:

Keep in Mind: The insurance's prices depend on the flight's prices; "Flight cancellations and delays" & "Full protection" will become available soon

All our deals for the next two weeks in one place

Almost every airline has a student programme dating back a couple of decades or more. But only 1 in 20 students know that student flights exist. So the only way we can drastically increase familiarity and awareness is by being as transparent as possible.

We knew we couldn't onboard every airline at once and that it would take time to explain the huge upsides launching student flights have to airlines, particularly on routes that are competing not just with other airlines but other modes of transport. So while pursuing integrations with all the airlines and negotiating student fares we also offered non-student flights. For our customers to understand which were and which weren't student flights we simply included a label:

We repeatedly got told that it was unclear if students were saving at all and how much they were saving. So we rebuilt our requests to handle not one set of flight details which automatically would just filter the top flight sorted by price to the top but to separate sets of flight details: one set containing student flights, the other containing non-student flights, and our system would compare the prices. If the non-student flight is more expensive (which it usually is) we now show it on the search results page as a strikethrough price.

Armed with our ability to tell the student exactly how much they are saving we set out to show the student all routes and days on which they are saving the most which tend to be the two weeks before take-off. We built a colour-coded Deals Calendar to give our customers an overview of what dates those flights are still available and where to. As every airline operates with slightly different rules, e.g. flexible rebooking and varied age restrictions, our first version is displaying Deals airline by airline.

Dozens of customers have already used this function all the way to a completed booking and we're hoping that while we improve it even more we're adding transparency to this opaque world of student flights.
