The deal begins on December 9 at 1pm EST and runs through December 14 until 2am EST. There will only be 1,000 tickets available each day, so make sure you're on early to take advantage of this.
When booking, keep in mind these discounts only apply for travel within the United States. The tickets will be economy or main cabin and won't include any amenities. If you need to cancel for any reason, there will be a $75 cancellation fee assessed.
How to buy the tickets

- Have them sign up for a StudentUniverse account. This is free to do and entitles them to other travel discounts.
- On December 9 at 1 pm EST, have them visit Amazon's flight website to book a ticket. Remember they're only releasing 1,000 tickets daily, so the sooner your child visits the website, the better their chances are.
