How Much Can I Save with an Emirates Student Discount Fare?
Emirates flies to over 250 destinations around the world. You may be able to get up to a 10% discount on Economy Class and Business Class fares when you book their discounted fares for students.
Additional Perks with the Emirates Student Offer
Emirates gives students 10 kg more baggage allowance—equivalent to one extra piece. This perk is on top of their already generous checked and carry-on baggage allowances. You also get flexible options to change your flight in case your plans change.
Standard baggage allowances and other conditions apply if you are flying to or from Toronto, Canada, and other cities in the United States. Be sure to check it out before you book your flight, so you know what you’re booking.
Emirates Student Discount Requirements
Emirates student flight discount is only available for full-time students between 16 to 31 years old at the time of the outbound travel date.
When you go to the airport and check in to board your flight, Emirates requires you to present the following:
- A valid student ID, or
- A school acceptance letter
If you cannot provide valid student identification when you go to the airport to check in, you won’t be able to avail of the student discount and its benefits. You will be issued a new ticket at the cost of the applicable fare on the day of departure.
Emirates and ISIC
The ISIC or International Student Identity Card is a card issued by the ISIC Association and endorsed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Anyone can avail of an ISIC card—as long as you are a student. With an ISIC card, students can access various discounts for products and services worldwide. Several airlines around the world have partnered with ISIC to give students discounts, and Emirates is one of them.

If you have an International Student Identity Card (ISIC), you can get exclusive airfare deals across over 140 travel destinations. You’ll get a 10% discount on Saver, Flex, Flex Plus Economy, and Business Class fares. You’ll also get additional baggage on top of the standard allowance and a free date change up until seven days before travel.
All you need to do is verify your ISIC card via their website, and you will get a unique code to grant you access to Emirates’ offer to ISIC students.
Emirates Student Offer Travel Validity
The student flight discount offer is valid for travel for 12 months for Flex and Flex Plus fares. If you are booking trips under Saver fares, it is valid for six months.
If you have to make date changes, you get to make free date changes for Flex and Flex Plus fares. For those under Saver fares, there is a fee of $50 to change the date. Additional charges apply in case of a no-show or cancellation.
