In time for the holiday season, Amazon is bringing back its $25 flights for young adults looking to save money on travel.
Amazon and StudentUniverse, a travel company that offers discounts to young adults and students, are partnering for a second year to offer $25 flights during the holidays. The companies are offering 5,000 flights to eligible young adults between 18-24 years old.
The airfare deal aims to provide affordable travel to young adults during an already expensive time of the year for most. About two-thirds of Gen Z and millennials expected to take on debt during the 2023 holiday season, with one-third of Gen Zers not able to afford traveling home for the holidays because of accruing expenses like student loan payments, according to a CreditKarma survey.
