Excellent service
Declan Barrie was excellent in dealing with our desperate need to change our flights on 2 occasions in a very short period of time as a result of CV19 to allow us to quickly and safely return home to Australia. He acted quickly, efficiently and compassionately and in a very professional way. His prompt service helped to elevate the great stress we were feeling. He was well supported by Laura and the rest of his team.

Great service!
Krystal was so helpful and accommodating with my last minute trip to KL over New Years! She helped me find appropriate flights for my travel and also provided some great things to do while over there! So friendly and easy to talk to.

Thanks to STA, I safely arrived home during coronavirus
Just wanted to say THANK YOU TO ALLY who got me home! STA travel Wollongong
I've been travelling in the USA, it was week 2 of my travels when the Australian government announced everyone to come home due to the pandemic of coronavirus. Everyone's in panic, everyone's trying to get home and airlines been bombarded.
I tried to contact STA Travel but with the crazy demand of calls, I wasn't able to get through but eventually emailed Ally to organise an earlier flight home. Ally organised a commerical flight out of the US for me with waived fees...

Extremely clear and helpful customer service
Chanelle was extremely helpful and made the process very simple. I was able to save a considerable amount of money by booking through STA as they had access to a cheap student deal. Would highly recommend

A Dependable Agent!
Chloe D. from STA Booragoon Perth has been such a marvelous agent going above and beyond her way to help us get out in an emergency situation. She timely flew us out from the country just in time before we get stuck there, for we dont know how long, because of a sudden outgoing International travel restrictions in response to covid 19 and booked us a flight back here in Perth. What a touchdown! She is even presently working on our refund. Thanks for helping us all the way! Kudos to your effort.

Literal lifesaver during the pandemic. Can't thank my travel agent enough.
My travel agent, Mikalah Champion from STA Carousel, has been an absolute lifesaver. I was almost stuck in Argentina after of the border closure imposed by the government due to the pandemic. It happened completely out of the blue and all foreigners were advised to leave the country as soon as possible. This resulted in me panic calling STA as flights were being booked out by the minute and airline phone lines were saturated. She made my case a priority due to the desperate situation I was in. Fortunately, she was able to book flights for my ev...
Read moreacuation over the phone quickly and stayed on the line during the whole process to ensure that everything went well. On top of that, this was happening way after her usual business hours. She then followed up on me to ensure that I made it back home. It is incredibly reassuring during a time of crisis to know that someone had your back. If there's a test for how good a travel agent is, it is how well they respond to desperate customer requests during a crisis. She aced by a mile and considering how young she is, she was absolutely exceptional. Funnily enough, I have always been an independent traveler and have always self organized my holidays. Against my better judgement (not in retrospect), I chose to book my original flights with STA. Turned out to be the best decision I've made. Otherwise, I could still be stuck in South America today like the many Australian tourists currently stuck in Peru who could not leave the country in time.- Verified
Our STA agent Brittanie is a star
Brittanie at STA carousel has been an absolute dream. She was fantastic when we booked the flights initially and gave us lots of helpful advise. We were thinking we may potentially be stuck in Asia when the world starting going a bit crazy about Coronavirus, and she was super super quick to help us change our flights and again, so helpful. Couldn’t recommend her enough.
Exceeded our expectations
Thank you Louise from STA Tuggerah! Louise provided excellent service and guide us whilst booking our holiday. Louise recommended a lovely motel which exceeded our expectations and even kept in constant contact leading up to and after our trip. We were very impressed and will be booking our future holidays through Louise.

STA Northland - great friendly and helpful service
I have used STA Travel at Northland for my last couple of international holidays. Dealing with Melissa was great. She provided me with some great deals and between the time of booking to payment, rang to say she found a better deal. Always available to answer questions even when overseas.

Such a positive experience... 10/10 would recommend
John Carroll at Indooroopilly was very helpful with booking our flights to Europe and gave us some very helpful info in addition. He was friendly and explained everything we needed to know in great detail. He also kept us very well informed prior to and during our trip. 10/10 would recommend and will be seeing John for our next trip again. Thanks!
An amazing trip organizer!
My trip organizer has been amazing!!
Bec has been great with organizing several trips, and now she looks after my sisters trips too!
My last trip through South America went off without a hitch, and she had thought of every possible contingent!
Thanks
First trip to USA was amazing!
I didn’t encounter any additional fees after the booking. Everything was on the up and up! Never had any issues. I was worried about going to US, given what is happening over there but that worry was overrated.

With a big thanks
STA staff at Indooroopilly, Bribane are very helpful, efficient and friendly at any time of the day I go in to inquire about trip. I had a wonderful trip to India with very cheap airfare.
Excellent and very professional service
No, I did not encounter any unexpected or additional fees after booking. My only addition was arranging myself, booking and paying a side trip to the Robinson Crusoe Island of the Juan Fernandez Archipelago. (Chile).
I booked the round the world airfare ticket, which was done in complete cooperation with me, as to what I want to see, and in what time frame, with a very sound advice from Rachel. This was good, because I could focus on enjoying my day trips from Santiago de Chile, Rio de Janeiro, 4-day Adventure Trip to the Amazon Jungle and to visit city of Manaus (Brazil).
The trip booking was so good there was no need for adjusting, or fortunately no need to cancel anything!
So helpful with bookings!
STA was so helpful in booking our trip to Vietnam and Thailand! Lydia Saunders was so informative and gave us guidance on booking flights, accommodation and day trips. We loved the hostels she recommended which was so important in regards to the social aspect of our trip. Would 100% book through STA travel again!
Best travel consultant ever!
Laura was so helpful from the moment I walked into the STA store! Despite the fact I live hours away from the STA store i booked through, Laura was more then happy to help via phone/emails. Always on top of everything and nothing was ever a problem. Will definitely be in contact with Laura when the time comes to book my next trip, couldn't recommend her enough.
Great
Great couldn’t fault it fantastic service everything about the airline is amazing and would fly again with them without hesitation. The food the entertainment and host amd hostessesare brilliant. The flights were on time and again couldn’t fault anything about the service or airline
Thanks for the wonderful review Brett! :) ^Ellie
Best travel consultant
Laura was super helpful from the moment I walked into the store. Despite living hours away from the store, Laura made the whole booking process super easy for me and nothing was ever to hard. Couldn't give her enough praise. definitely will be in touch with Laura when i book my next trip.
Hi Keeley
Thanks for your excellent review. It's great to hear that Laura made the process so easy for you and helped you with anything you requested.

The best travel agents in the Southern Hemisphere!
STA Travel Robina are an absolute pleasure to deal with and will always have my business. The entire team, particularly Troy and Aki - are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They have extensive travel experience between them and are great at finding the best price as well as making sure your holiday actually fits your needs as an individual. I have taken advantage in the past of youth fares and flexible fares and the team have been excellent at making changes to the booking with minimum hassle for myself, even from the other side of the world...
Read more and a huge time difference apart. Even though I no longer live in Australia and I have branches available to me in the UK, I choose to book over email and phone with STA Robina because there is nobody I trust more with my travels. The add-ons they offer are absolute value for money and are now essentials I wouldn't travel without. Their aim is to make your trip as easy and flexible as possible, while making sure you aren't paying extra for unnecessary stuff. Couldn't recommend them more - can't wait to go in and say hi on my upcoming trip back to the Gold Coast booked with Troy. I might even book my next trip when I'm there in person! See you soon guys, thanks for everything :)Great experience
booked through Kyle at STA Erina he was a pleasure to deal with and had a lot of knowledge of trips to help me narrow down to what I was looking for, highly recommend.
Hi Jay,
Thank you for leaving your great review! It's great to hear that Kyle was so knowledgeable when assisting you with your booking. I'll make sure to let him know that you're so appreciative of his fantastic service! ^Ben
Amazing service
Couldn’t be happier with the service Declan provided ! He made sure to go over all the details with us multiple times to make sure we were 100% prepared for our trip and helped us with booking additional activities that we couldn’t work out ourselves and always had a friendly manner. Will definitely be booking through Declan for my next trip.
Hi Danielle,
Thanks for your great feedback. It's great to hear that Declan provided you with such an amazing service. I'll make sure to let him know that you're so appreciative of his efforts! ^Ben
Amazing japan trip
Everything that Kyle booked went perfectly to plan and smoothly. I loved the location in Hakuba - very central and convenient. I didn’t need to adjust anything in my booking as it was perfect.
Very disappointed
I fly long haul multiple times a year and have booked religiously with STA travel for the past 7 years, and after my last experience will not be using them again. My partner and I booked a flight with STA, which appeared to save us money as opposed to booking directly with the airline. However this ticket meant we could not make alterations to our booking, for example adding additional baggage, which was NOT mentioned anywhere in the terms and conditions, which we read at the time and have since combed through to confirm. I should also mentione...
Read mored I have retrospectively added baggage to STA booked flights many times in the past. This resulted in the only 'service' STA provided us with was a $500 baggage fee at the airport. When first contacting the customer service team they told us this was a fault on the airlines behalf, which later transpired to not be correct. The customer service has on the whole been very disappointing and when pointing out that nothing was mentioned at the time of booking, or in the terms and conditions, all they said was "you should have called if you were worried about baggage" - and having added baggage to many STA flights in the past, I was not aware this was something I should worry about. On the whole, I feel I have been tricked by STA into losing money and been dismissed by staff, which is particularly disappointing given how much money I have spent with STA in the last decade.Hi Georgie, thank-you for getting in touch and we're so sorry to hear of your disappointment with your booking and the service received. We do take all feedback very seriously and would like the oppor...

Trip of a lifetime made a breeze!
Samantha initially helped me just with booking flights to Europe, and then emailed me a few months later asking if I needed more help planning the trip proper. In the end, she helped me (read: she did all the legwork because I had no idea) plan two weeks in continental Europe, from getting around to hotels to useful tips from her own experience.
It was a fantastic trip and in every city I went to I had a nice comfy room waiting that was perfectly located for whatever I wanted to do.
I’m especially grateful for Sam’s recommendation that I stay...
Read more on the island of Venice instead of tripping across there from the mainland. The city is like a dream and staying there was one of the best experiences I’ve had. Sam made the process of booking and payment clear and straightforward. I liked that she was receptive to my train nerd goals (love me some rail travel) and factored that into the plan. I would definitely go back to her for help and advice in the future!Beyond satisfied!
The Grand Southern Contiki Tour was amazing, Louise Leo did everything within her power to ensure everything was taken care of, and that we had full understanding of our inclusions.
