ACROSS AMERICA — About 3,000 college students will have an easier time getting home for the holidays under a dramatic discount offered by Amazon if they apply before 6 a.m. Pacific Time Thursday.

The deal for $25 domestic flights is available to Amazon Prime Student members, the online retailer said in an announcement on its website. The deal is good for flights departing between Friday, Dec. 8, and Christmas, and return flights between Dec. and Jan. 14.

The flights are offered at a rate of 1,000 a day over the three days of the promotion, which started Tuesday. Prime Student members who miss the window will still be able to get a promotional code worth $25 off flights.
