The deal is only available for outbound travel between Dec. 8 and Christmas, and inbound travel dates between Dec. 8 and Jan. 14, and for basic economy and main cabin fare only.
If you¡¯re lucky enough to snag a ticket, you¡¯ll be able to fly anywhere within the U.S.
Why?
The initiative aims to make travel more accessible for students and alleviate some of the financial challenges associated with purchasing plane tickets, especially during periods of elevated holiday pricing.
"As travel costs continue to rise, we're happy to help make flying more affordable for Prime Students who want to spend this important time with family and friends," said Carmen Nestares, vice president of U.S. Prime and Marketing Tech at Amazon in a statement.
How does it work?
Prime Student members can go to the Prime Student x Student Universe portal to try to snag one of the tickets before they run out.
"Our trusted partnership with Amazon has allowed us to help thousands of Prime Student members access affordable flights and hotels around the world," said Steven de Blois, CEO StudentUniverse in a statement. "This partnership has now culminated into this unforgettable moment during which time we hope to spread some cheer by helping young people across the country travel home for holidays affordably."

Anyone with the Prime Student membership can avail the scheme. It costs $69 per year and comes with benefits like complimentary expedited shipping, digital services like Amazon Music and Amazon Prime Video, deals at Whole Foods Market, early access to Lightning deals, free one-year membership to Grubhub+ and more.
