The New York Times publishes a piece discussing how student travel sites are now offering up deals to those that would normally not be eligible. Even though the deepest discounts are reserved for students, you can still find "specially negotiated rates at discounts anywhere from 10 to 25 percent below the going market rate...Some of the best deals come in the form of packages or group tours." All signs point to travel prices going up this year, so this is good stuff. STA and StudentCity are the most liberal with their offerings, while StudentUniverse has been less drastic in opening things up to non-academics. [NYTimes]
