For those of you still shivering from the past couple of draft-causing storms, you may want to review our previous post, "Winter Weather Advisory." For the rest of you, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the newly snow-filled wonderland (or escape it!) without emptying your wallets. Here are some tips for finding the cheapest way to a great spring break!
There are tons of websites that offer airplane tickets or hotel stays for discounted rates, just for college students (lucky you!). American Airlines gives students up to 10% off airfare costs and other travel components when booking on AA.com
Another great site geared towards college students is statravel.com, which guarantees the lowest prices. If you do find a cheaper price, the site with give you a free ISIC discount card(International Student ID Card), which offers discounts at typical retail stores and discounted train or flight rates. What a deal!
If you're willing, a great website for standby flights is AirTran. The website offers standby tickets specifically for students, which often turns out to be a great deal.
This website also mentions some great tools to finding tickets, such as Student Universe and Priceline. Check it out!
But if you aren't planning on traveling, there are still plenty of fun winter activities. Go see a hockey or basketball game at the TD Garden. Check out the ticket exchange option here, where you can purchase tickets, often cheaper. If you get inspired by the Bruins fancy footwork, perhaps you would like to do some ice skating yourself. The Boston Common Frog Pond is a popular attraction, where you can even rent ice skates! If you love to ski, check out this site for a great list of trails.
Now that you're equipped with loads of tools, all that's left is for you to decide your destination! Will it be a winter ski trip? Perhaps a warm getaway? Or maybe just a visit home? Regardless, you'll now be able to find the cheapest way to get there.
Happy Traveling!
Savvy Student
