Don't most airlines have college programs with special deals for students? I know United does ( www.collegeplus.com ), and while I have never found a cheaper fare there than on ual.com, signing up will get you bonus miles when you fly. I forget how many, but its not bad, looking at my mileage history I've gotten 6250 collegeplus bonus miles over the past 2 years, and may have had some before that.

If the student happens to be a member of student advantage ( www.studentadvantage.com ), Priceline will add $25 to whatever you bid on airline tickets.
