STA airfare to london?
Does anyone have any experience with using www.sta.com to find tickets from Pittsburgh, PA to London (heathrow)? I found a fare for 271 plus all the taxes and fees for March 28 or 29 to April 6 or 7th. Is this a good fare? Where else can I look?

It would be a good idea to share what those taxes and fees are, rather than having us visit the site ourselves to find out - - but assuming they are under $100, this seems to be a pretty good deal - - or clever/effective guerilla publicity seeking - - or both. I did go visit the site, and $319 was the lowest I saw (plus $35-85)<BR><BR>The lowest comparable fare on www.orbitz.com right now is over $600 - - taxes included I think. Lowest on travelocity are $409-419 (also taxes included, I think) - - looking for ANY dates (latest departure Mar 20 or maybe 21, returns as late as Apr 20)<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

They make sure that you are a student by checking your student ID either when you check-in or are ticketed. <BR><BR>When you travel as a student, you always have to show your ID card (ISCA card?? something like that) to get these reduced fares.<BR><BR>If you are not a student, but are under 26, there may be other reduced fares that you can get. Call STA and see what their rules are.<BR><BR>I bought an STA airline ticket when I was a student, and they definitely made me show my ID at some point. All other times I tried to use a student discount, they were very careful to check my ID.<BR><BR>If you're over 26 and not a student, you will unfortunately have to suffer with the rest of us
