STA Travel and Student Fares

Hi,
I am trying to book a one-way from BOS to LHR. I am 29 and not a student but still have my student ID which does not have an expiration date. As I recall with STA Travel they are not too picky when they issue ISIC cards which are required to book student fares.

The student fares for one way for LHR are much better priced than regular fares, i.e. the best on regular I am finding is $350 on Ice Air whereas with STA I am find $260 on a number of carriers, AA, VA, UAL, all which could also post miles.

When I booked student fares a while back I never recall anyone asking for Student ID when checking in, after all, if STA issues me a ISIC card would this be valid if they did ask me at the airline check in?

Thanks!
