Amazon selling limited number of $25 plane tickets to students for Christmas

As tens of millions of people are expected to travel this holiday season, one company is looking to help cash-strapped college students make it home for less.

Amazon has announced it will sell $25 airplane tickets for a limited time. The offer is available through a partnership with StudentUniverse, a company that helps provide travel discounts to students.

However, travelers will have to act fast as only 1,000 tickets will be available at this price each day from Tuesday to Thursday, Amazon announced.

The first round of tickets was offered at 9 a.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, and the second and third rounds will be offered at 3 a.m. Eastern time on Wednesday and Thursday. Those who wish to claim the offer will need to be Prime Student members and will need to use their ticket sometime between mid-December and early January.

Once these discounted tickets are sold out, Amazon and StudentUniverse will run an additional promotion, which will give Prime Student members $25 off flights through a special code.

“As a mom to a first-year college student, I am excited to have my son home for the holidays,” Carmen Nestares, the vice president of U.S. Prime and marketing tech at Amazon, said. “And as travel costs continue to rise, we’re happy to help make flying more affordable for Prime Students who want to spend this important time with family and friends.”

Travel retailers offering eye-popping discounts over the holidays is a common business tactic, especially during major holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. In mid-November, Sheetz offered gasoline for $2 per gallon at select locations during the week of Thanksgiving.
