Travel | Financial Aid Office | SIU

Check out how to save money when you travel:

• Book your flight or train ticket early if you live far away. The closer it gets to breaks, the more expensive tickets will be!
• Utilize flight comparison websites (ex. Expedia, Travelocity, Kayak, etc..).
• Check out studentuniverse.com for student deals.
• COMPARE: train rides can be just as relaxing as flights and can sometimes be more cost effective.
• Carpool: Start carpooling with your friends - it saves you money and is more environmental friendly.
• Take group trips and pitch in for gas.
