It's a great idea to compare airfare from several sources when planning a study abroad trip.
When researching airfare for a study abroad trip, it can be a bit overwhelming with so many choices out there. All Study Abroad has done the work for you and researched the best sites to use. While you can go to the usuals, such as Travelocity and Priceline, be sure to check out these other sites for great airfare deals.
STA Travel USA
STA Travel is the global leader in student travel. However, anybody can use the service, not just students. They offer discounted student flights, ISIC and IYTC (International Student Identity Card and International Youth Travel Card) discount cards, and more!
CheapOair
CheapOair.com is a great source for airline tickets. It has a wide range of flights from many different carriers, allowing easy comparison shopping. And they're not kidding about the "CheapO" part! We recently found fares on this site that were significantly cheaper than anywhere else. Be sure to snap up these cheap flights though, because they were gone the next time we searched!
Mexicana
Mexicana is the premier airline serving Latin American destinations. It's a great idea to check here if you are heading south of the border!
Comparison shopping is a good idea, but don't let it drive you crazy! Also, make sure you confirm your study abroad program prior to the purchase of your airfare.
