Cheapest youth student airfares for overseas travel

Summer vacation is here, and many young students are getting ready to travel abroad too. For years, Jinzhan Travel Agency, which has been actively promoting independent youth travel itineraries, has partnered with STA Travel, the world's largest student travel agency and part of its International Youth Travel Group, becoming STA Taiwan’s general agent. It has introduced a variety of youth travel-related products, encouraging Taiwanese youth to bravely explore and connect with the world. The purpose of the STA Travel Student & Youth Travel website is to provide accurate and practical travel services for students, with the added goal of offering travel education. As long as students hold an International Student Identity Card (ISIC), they can book tickets online immediately and enjoy prices up to 10–30% cheaper than market rates when purchasing student-discounted airfares.

The STA Travel Student & Youth Travel website also allows users to directly apply online for an International Student Identity Card (ISIC), a Youth Hostel Card (YHA), and an International Youth Travel Card (IYTC). The website provides information on booking flights and accommodations, and through links, users can check fares for various partner trains in Europe, America, New Zealand, and Australia, offering comprehensive travel services. For example, when an average person flies to Los Angeles, USA, a round-trip ticket may cost around NT$40,000–50,000, but using an International Student Identity Card during the off-season can sometimes reduce the cost to just over NT$20,000, saving nearly NT$20,000 in discounts. An International Student Identity Card costs NT$350, but it can save nearly NT$20,000 on airfare or railway transportation. Since most airlines do not directly issue student airfares but delegate this to travel agencies, Jinzhan Travel Agency is currently the general agent for International Student Identity Cards. Besides applying for the card here, you can also purchase student airfares.

There is another type of airfare that is even more discounted and cheaper than student airfares—the “STA Teacher & Youth Ticket.” Compared to regular student airfares, it can be up to NT$5,000 cheaper, and it’s not only for students but also for teachers and young people under 26. This is the most respectful and favorable airfare ever offered to teachers and non-student youths.
