STA e-mail

has anyone got it, I can't find the information with it on anywhere... thanks!

 

do you mean like your flight itinerary?
we went into sta last week and asked if that was what we took to the airport for the tickets, and it is. . . but if you cant find it i think you can just call them and theyll resend it!

 

^^I thought that as well but STA sent me tickets in the post as well!

 

on my confirmation thingy form sta it says that i have an e-ticket so wont get proper tickets but further on it says i will receive my documents in the post ??? not too bothered because ive used e-tikets before and they are easy enough but i thought it was a bit strange

also has anyone else had to buy a iytc? and how ong did it take to arrive this friday it will be like 3 weeks and i havent heard anything or received it

 

yeah i find it kind of odd that i dont get an actual ticket. but the guy in sta said print off the itinerary, which also has receipts of payments i guess, and take that. just seems odd, i might ring again to confirm but thats it as far as i know!

 

i got my travel card within a week or so, maybe less.

as for my itinerary, i got the email saying it was my confirmation in an attachment, and the attachment is all screwy so I know I'm going to have to phone them up about it. just haven't got round to that yet. really ought to by the end of the week k tho

 

Nah, I just wanted the e-mail address! Still have the flight itinerary and everything Thanks anyway though!

 

That's so weird. I got tickets in the post PLUS my intinerary.

 

I bought an IYTC - took at least 3 weeks to arrive - just when I was about to email them it arrived!

 

What is an IYTC?

 

international young peron travel card. you need one or a student one to buy from sta because they want proof that you are eligible for the cheap flights etc.

 

My flight is from STA but this was never mentioned to me?

 

if u have a'blue' ticket fair then u need to have either a iytc or a international student travel card. they both cost £7 an are valid for a year. u can buy them form the sta website or form one of their shops i f u get a blue ticket and dont have one they can refuse u the flight or something

 

I assume they'd have told us when we were booking it if we needed that though, right? I don't remember the mentioning anything about a blue ticket, so should be alright!

 

It tells you on the page where you click the flight to confirm - there is a little blue ticket symbol next to the flight. If the flight was ridiculously cheap (just under £300 instead of £500) then you probably have a blue ticket flight

 

yeah it doesnt really say in big bold letters or anything its just got a little blue symbol by it and they have like a little thing that says - there may be restrictions with this fare or similar. i would defo check just in case

 

Just a quick question..

They've sent me my student card(blue card) but i didn't even send them proof that im a student..

Does this mean they just rang my university to check? I've already got the card..but i thought u had to send proof off before you got it? ???

 

im not sure aout the student card - i had to send photocopy of my passport in for my youth travel card tho

 

I booked my flight over the phone to STA and they never mentioned this to me!

 

Yeah, i got my letter from university read to send, because they said i wouldn't receive the card until i sent them confirmation that i was a student..I got the letter then i was just about to send it off to them and the card arrived!
