Who are STA Travel?
STA Travel began in Australia in 1979 and currently has over 500 branches around the world with 55 in the UK.

STA Travel are one of the leading travel companies in the UK and are the World’s leading travel operator for students and young people. However, STA Travel isn’t just for students, over 40% of its customers fall outside of its core market.

As the company has grown it has been able to offer preferential rates to organisations and universities. STA Travel are now able to offer BVA members exclusive rates.

The company is both ABTA and ATOL bonded with its headquarters in London.

I’m no longer studying can I obtain the discounts STA Travel offer students as a BVA member?
If you are a BVA member and are 32 or under, STA Travel can offer you many of the discounts offered to students through our ‘recent graduate’ ISIC scheme that has been arranged exclusively for the BVA. The savings can be substantial and often give you greater flexibility with date changes and cancellation penalties.

What is STA Travel offering for BVA members?
As a large company STA Travel has access to many exciting deals on flights around the world, hotels, car-hire and travel insurance. STA Travel is pleased to offer all members a discount on their flights, hotels, car hire and tours. BVA members, their companions and BVA staff will therefore always pay less than the prices quoted in STA Travel’s UK branches, call centre or online.

How much is the discount?
As STA Travel work with a large number of airlines, hotel companies and car hire providers all with their own deals, there isn’t a consistent percentage discount for members. Instead STA Travel will do their very best to find you a great deal and beat their regular prices. Purchasing your hotel, insurance and flights all at the same time will give you a much greater discount than if these items are bought separately.

I have seen flight prices with another company that are cheaper than the price STA Travel are offering members, will STA Travel beat this rate?
STA Travel will do their very best to beat any rate quoted cheaper to BVA members. This may not always be possible because of availability. When calling the BVA dedicated phone line please have ready the exact details of the price you have seen.

How can members book through STA Travel?
Members can book using the dedicated BVA/STA Travel telephone line 0871 230 8565 or email bva@statravel.co.uk

Do you only sell flights leaving from London?
No, STA Travel can sell tickets from any airport to any airport in the world.
