While each student is responsible for his or her own travel arrangements, Study Abroad Italy has partnered for 10 years with Waldorf Travel Service to offer students the lowest available student-priced airline tickets. We encourage students to book their flights WELL IN ADVANCE (at least 90 days prior to departure), and to make sure you notify the travel agent that you are a Study Abroad Italy student.
