Online student and faculty travel provider StudentUniverse.com has introduced its "FarePlay" feature for students to search for cheap airfares by region of the world or by theme with flexible date search function.

FarePlay offers these themes: Study Abroad, Party Spots, Cheap Destinations, Backpacking, Best US Cities for Singles, Top Ten World Cities, Big Cities in the US, Popular European Cities, Most Popular Asian Cities

By offering themes that appeal to college students, travelers have the choice to be even more flexible about destinations they had not previously considered.

Each theme reveals a different set of destination results, maximizing the options of discounted flights for prospective travelers.

StudentUniverse.com plans to allow users to submit their own recommended themes and regions, further customizing travel experiences.

FarePlay's budget search function lets students enter in a maximum budget and receive results that match.

Service being free to use, students can maximize their money for travel rather than paying to have a travel agent help select a destination and plan a trip.

StudentUniverse.com connects students with discounted airfares and other travel deals. Each month, more than half a million college students and faculty rely on StudentUniverse.com to source the best travel deals, so they can travel more and spend less. www.studentuniverse.com
