When buying a plane ticket to Paris should I just go through STA since I'm a student or is there a cheaper alternative?

STA fare prices are sometimes the same ones you can find through Orbitz, Expedia, etc. I would go through STA if you want to get travel insurance, which you might want to do. I met a mother and daughter who were on their way to Paris when several connecting flights got delayed and they had to stay a night at the airport. Because they bought STA insurance, they were able to book a hotel at no extra cost.

At any rate, I highly recommend checking out www.kayak.com. They run a search of all (over 100) travel websites to find the best deals so you know you’re getting rock bottom prices.

Go to CheapTickets.com or also, try going directly to Delta.com, they are running a special to fly to Paris right now for dirt cheap!!
