While youngsters aspiring for higher education abroad are getting
ready to fly to various countries to follow their dreams, different
airlines are coming up with a variety of schemes and offers to reduce
the strain on the students’ pockets.
It is that time of the year when candidates with plans of studying
abroad are ready to fly after finalising their university. While
studying abroad is not a trend that will dissolve anytime soon, the fall
in the value of the rupee has made going to foreign countries much
costlier for aspirants.
However, many national and international
airlines are offering different types of schemes such as discounts in
the air ticket and allowing excess baggage. Airlines such as Emirates,
Singapore Airlines and Jet Airways, among others, are presenting such
offers during this period to help students going to study abroad.
Not
only airlines, travel agencies are also coming up with some exclusive
offers. To help students save on their higher studies abroad, Cleartrip
is offering an exclusive “Cleartrip Scholar Offer”.
Students can
book their one-way flight tickets to universities in Canada, Europe,
Australia and New Zealand with offers such as allowing cash back of up
to Rs2,500 along with excess baggage allowances on a valid student visa.
Mohit
Gambhir, an expert consultant for higher education abroad, said, “The
fees in universities abroad are really high. After taking care of the
fees, accommodation and other expenses are unavoidable. In this case,
candidates are desperately willing to avail any kind of offer or scheme
or any such advantages that will help them drop the figure of the total
expenditure, even if it is not a very huge sum of amount.”
“Especially
in the case of students from India, the luggage is much more than the
typical 20kg upper limit. They are practically shifting their base to a
different country, so the baggage is likely to be heavy. In such a case
if the airline charges them extra amount, there will be a huge hole in
the pockets of these candidates,” added Gambhir.
