Discount to Lufthansa for a high school student?
I want to go to Poland this summer, but the tickets are too expensive for me. Do you know of any ways I could get a discount?

The airlines don't offer discounts for individual students anymore. Even when they did, the discounts were a percentage off a full-fare ticket and the cost was still more than an 'excursion fare" ticket. Check with your school to see if they know of a tour program (maybe offered by a nearby college) that you can join to get a group-rate discount on your ticket. There is no secret, magic website with the "cheapest" airfares. You have to do the research, and be as flexible as possible regarding travel dates. Check the travel sites (airgorilla, expedia, priceline, travelocity, etc.) and also check the airline websites. I have often (not always, but often) found the best fares on the airline websites. Remember to check airlines like JetBlue and Southwest that do not use the travel sites. In Europe, examples of discoun airlines are EasyJet and RyanAir. Check with a real travel agent to ask about promotional fares and special deals. If you also need a hotel or rental car, check the cost of combining the purchases in a package. For example, I found a deal with airfare + hotel in Hawaii for a week that was only $100 more than just the airfare. When traveling to far destinations check the prices when you split the ticket. For example, searching "Denver to Warsaw" (all on one ticket) MAY cost much more than searching "Denver to London" and then "London to Warsaw" on a discount airline. If that turns out to be the case, talk to a real travel agent about getting the better fare all on one ticket. Good luck!
