Calling All Students - Kick it While You Can

It’s all well and good while you’re studying, with regular holidays, schedules that can be juggled around and a flat that’s never too far away if you feel like cutting your day of lectures short.

The team at Student Flights suggests making the most of your University holidays while you can, because as soon as that degree is signed and sealed, it’s time for the real world, where your four weeks of holiday leave will likely leave you yearning for the good ol’ days.

To help you on your way, they have put together their top three University holiday destinations with packages to match.

Phuket; Thailand

Cheap to get there, even cheaper to stay, and with a huge variety of activities to keep you entertained, Phuket is a guaranteed good time.

With a reputation for great value and offering everything from beautiful beaches to shopping, cafes and culture, it’s a great alternative to a UK or European holiday, and one that won’t stretch the budget to uncomfortable lengths.

Check out a Thai Boxing match, spend a day or two on Phi Phi Island, take in a cabaret show and check out the Big Buddha in Chalong Bay. If you’re lucky enough to have a couple of weeks up your sleeve, it’s also a fantastic gateway to explore Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam while you’re there.

Student Flights has seven nights accommodation in Phuket with buffet breakfast daily from $185* per person, twin share.

*Price subject to availability. Valid for sales until from 23 June - 14 July 2013 unless sold out prior. Travel from 07 July – 31 October 2013. Airfares are additional.

Bali; Indonesia

Famous for its friendly people, Bali is top spot at any time of the year and it’s a great chance to stock up on a Bintang singlet or two.

Surfing fans can hit the beach during the day, reaping the benefits of the southern ocean swells with plenty of popular spots to choose from. If you’re not surfing savvy, sign up for a lesson at one of the many schools, setting you back about $5.

Barter for a cheap eat at Poppies Lane, right in the middle of Kuta, and kick back and relax with cheap massages and cocktails in the evening.

Eco tours are also great value for money and a different way to check out the island. With anything from a volcano trek to an island tour, there is something for everyone.

Student Flights has seven nights accommodation in Bali with breakfast daily from $195* per person, twin share.

*Price subject to availability. Valid for sales from 23 June – 14 July 2013 unless sold out prior. Travel from 01 September – 20 December 2013. Airfares are additional.

Fiji; South Pacific

A tried and true destination that is close to home and certain to leave you feeling relaxed and refreshed for the new term, Fiji ticks all of the boxes.

It’s not just about lying on the beach and drinking cocktails in fancy resorts either (although that isn’t bad).

Increasingly popular with backpackers and independent travellers as the amount of budget accommodation on the island continues to grow, Nadi is a perfect stop for travellers looking for an affordable break, with hostels popping up along the coastline, all just a stone’s throw from the beach.

Student Flights has seven nights accommodation in Fiji including tropical breakfast daily and return airport transfers from $189* per person.  

*Price subject to availability. Valid for sales from 23 June – 07 July 2013 unless sold out prior. Travel from 01 August 2013 – 31 March 2014. Accommodation has shared facilities. Airfares are additional.
