One of the most frequently asked questions by the students who successfully continue the Work and Travel process is when they should buy the flight ticket. While some students want to buy their flight tickets before their visa interview, some students want to buy tickets after the visa approval. Your budget largely determines when you will buy the plane ticket.
Within the scope of the program, flight tickets are usually purchased after the visa approval. The most important step after the visa approval is to buy the plane ticket as soon as possible, because the later the plane tickets are bought, the higher the cost. It is also possible to buy a ticket before the visa interview, depending on the students’ preference.
Every Work and Travel student has to buy a round trip flight ticket. If we look at the ticket prices, they vary between 600-900 USD on average. Factors such as departure city, destination city, number of transfers, date and time determine the cost to a large extent.
Which agency you choose when buying a plane ticket is very important for your budget. While some agencies offer discounted prices, some agencies do not offer any discounts. In addition, the awareness and reliability of the agency should be investigated. As Edumaster Abroad Education, we direct our students to the airline ticket agency we work with, thus ensuring that they receive both discounted and reliable service. You should follow the directions from your advisor about when and how to buy your ticket.
