A recent article on Airfare-Now! talks about four specific things that college students can do to save a few bucks on airfare. The article, entitled 4 Ways for College Students to Save on Airfare Now! suggests that college students stay flexible, do their research, plan ahead, and travel mid-week. Here's the gist:
