Students worldwide can now travel more affordably thanks to an expanded fare program from Lufthansa Group, which includes Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, SWISS, and Brussels Airlines. As of October 2025, the special student fares are also available in Germany, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, and other countries where this offer was not previously accessible.

The expanded student fare provides a range of benefits designed to support academic mobility and international exchange. Students can now take advantage of two free pieces of checked baggage, each weighing up to 23 kilograms, making it easier to bring essential belongings when travelling abroad for studies or returning home between semesters.

In addition to the extra baggage allowance, the offer includes discounted ticket prices for Economy Class, free rebooking, and the option of a refund. The fares are valid for intercontinental one-way and round-trip flights, with the exception of routes to and from Japan, Canada, and the USA. Eligible students can book their tickets directly through the airlines’ official websites.

To access the special rates, students must verify their Travel-ID using Sheer ID by providing proof of enrolment at a recognized university or college. This step ensures that only legitimate students can benefit from the reduced fares.

For added convenience, Lufthansa Group recommends creating a Travel-ID profile and downloading the airline apps. Travel-ID simplifies the travel process by allowing passengers to store personal data and travel documents for future and past bookings. It also provides personalized notifications and updates to enhance the overall travel experience.

With over 15 million customers already using Travel-ID, Lufthansa Group continues to innovate and make international travel easier and more accessible. Through this initiative, the airline is reinforcing its commitment to supporting students and fostering global academic exchange.
