STA Travel

I have been slightly anxious about first time booking expensive tickets to overseas. After long surf on the net, I came across the best offer on Sta Travel. I didn’t risk to buy tickets online as I had some uncertainities about visas, etc.
So I went to their office, had a little wait until I was served. During that time, I explored their great travel offers (ranging from budget holidays to luxurious ones). They do really cool prospects on travellling, volunteering plans and programmes, ‘world-​tours’, etc. In case you’re not sure where you want to go.
The service obviously was great. I was clearly adviced on tickets, prices, insurance types, visas, etc. So I booked my flight tickets and insurance here. The lady who advised me, explained me all te procedures and nswerd all my questions realy clearly, which is important in situations, where you have to spend lots of money.
The great advantage is that for additional payment, you can change your flight dates if needed.
You can also book accomodation and ESTA here, however, I would’t advice due to higher price.
Generally, I would recommend STA for buying cheaper package holidays or flight tickets.

The folks that work here are quite the friendly bunch. I am interested in making a trip to many places, and Seoul, South Korea is at the top of my list. Now, although I don’t have enough money to pay for a trip, I do like to do some forward planning. I’ve been tracking my finances, and I figure that if all goes well and I end up saving some money every month, a trip to Seoul is very likely sometime in September or October. With that knowledge, I walked into STA Travel to see if anything could be done.
I must say once again that the people who work here are very friendly. In addition to that, they are extremely knowledgeable. They recommended some travel packages, different holiday deals, but were not overly pushy. They just wanted to «suggest» these things in case I was interested. If you’re interested in booking a vacation or holiday package, STA Travel is a great place to go.

Packing up and sending yourself of to Japan should be something of an exciting and dream like process but I ended up dreading any appointment I had with STA.
I don’t mind idle chit chat, but I always left feeling like a toddler. ‘Are you alright mate? Is someone going to be looking for you?‘
They did do a lot of work for me and the travel costs seemed to be reasonable and as cheap as anywhere else, until they stung me with an international student card or something, which cost around £20 and was never used or asked for.

Having recently booked a big trip at this branch of STA over numerous appointments, I feel well equipped to review their services!
Initially I found the service friendly and helpful. I wasn’t overly confidant that our travel agent knew her stuff… she didn’t seem to have a great deal of knowledge about Central America, but her enthusiasm won me over nonetheless. And despite a lack of firsthand knowledge, she did give us leaflets and talked us through different options for the cheapest way to plan our route. When we dithered and changed our route, she was accommodating, though I did begin to feel her patience was waning when we refrained from making a hasty booking. Whatever… people have bad days and she was never rude to us at all, just a little snippy at times. And bearing in mind that her job involves booking other people’s fun trips all day every day, I’m gonna cut her some slack!
STA is the cheapest and probably the easiest way to book both single flights and multi-​flight trips. If you’re 25 or under, you get their young person’s discount, which is ultimately why we chose to use them. However, most travel agents aren’t as willing to research your trip options for you. It would have been much harder and time-​consuming to figure out a route and timescale, had we not had STA’s help. So, despite the fact that we didn’t have the best travel agent, I would recommend STA, especially for students wanting to save money!
