Hey Pranay,
Gird up and start searching all the information regarding your flight and its expenses at least 5-6 months before your flight is due in order to travel smart.

One of the most important travel tips for students is that it’s economical to book tickets on Tuesday or Wednesday. The best time to buy a cheap ticket is described to be around 3 to 5 O clock in the morning. Also, if your flight involves a transfer, such as Canada to LA, it is always wise to take these transfer flights separately to avoid accommodation problems and hours-long wait.

Hey Robert,
International student insurance policies are specifically designed for students studying abroad.

The travel insurance provides coverage against baggage-related risks, medical expenses, stay disruption, and other travel-related issues that you may face during your trips. In some universities, getting student travel insurance may not be mandatory, but it is advisable to have it as a precautionary measure.

Hey Aaron!

UK has a great network of public transportation that makes traveling accessible for students. The average monthly cost for traveling in the UK comes up to around £140 per month. The most extensive network of public transportation in the UK is the tube (underground rail network). Traveling by tube can help save a lot on travel costs.

However, the tube is not present in a lot of cities across the country. But you can access trains to travel both short and long distances. You can even purchase a ‘Young Persons Railcard‘ for £30 if you are a student at any university in the UK. The railcard lets you avail of a 30% discount on train travel across the UK, lowering your living expenses. Buses are the next best option for travel across the UK.

If you wish to travel long distances, then you will need to avail flights or long-distance trains.
