Where will you be counting down to the New Year? New Year’s is a perfect reason to get away for a few days, party it up, and see a new city. Some head home to party with friends and family, but traveling for New Year’s is very popular as well. Based on feedback from students, we’ve put together a list of spots where you’ll maximize the fun, and with cheap student flights, you can minimize the expense!

Yeah, we know Sydney is a few miles away, but then again it’s out of this world fun and the fireworks will blow you away. And please, don’t go to Amsterdam if you’re afraid of fireworks. The streets are filled with people literally aiming them at each other. But if that’s your thing, it’s the place to be! Las Vegas is a hell of a party destination, and Paris comes to life and is stunning under the lights of all the fireworks. Ready to have some fun? Look for a cheap ticket now and get out there.

10. San Francisco, CA
9. Berlin, Germany
8. Bangkok, Thailand
7. London, UK
6. Prague, Czech Republic
5. Las Vegas, NV
4. Paris, France
3. Amsterdam, Netherlands
2. New York, NY
1. Sydney, Australia

    Personally I think NYC gets a little too crowded, it’s impossible to move around and there are lines everywhere, but still cool tho. Never been to Vegas, but really want to go… Anyone been? Was it fun?

    We (four of us from Ohio State) went to Vegas last year and it was sick! What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but I can definitely recommend the place! The shows were great and the clubs were awesome. We got a deal because we ordered our room early, but we ended up paying a bit for the tickets to get there.

    Screw vegas, it’s for old people and families. Amsterdam should’ve made it to the top of this list – it’s the only place to be! I’m telling you, you’ve never seen the kind of stuff that goes on in the streets of Amsterdam on New Year’s…

Student Travel

Millions of college students from all over the world use StudentUniverse every year. Our student flights are cheaper because we verify that you're a student - so when we negotiate with our airline partners they give you better prices. Not only do students deserve a student discount, they deserve better terms. So before you buy airfares like your parents make sure you know the difference. Student tickets are often more flexible, which makes it cheaper to change or cancel. If you're looking for cheap flights we recommend reading our article How to Find a Cheap Flight. Flights for students are not always cheaper, but you can only find them through student travel agencies - so make sure you compare before you buy. Sometimes you can even save more on student airfares with StudentUniverse promo codes (coupon codes), which will be sent to students that subscribe to our newsletter.
