Cheap flights for students?

So i heard that students receive a decent discount on airline tickets. Someone told me I can find some tickets for around $70. I'm looking to leave from either Newark or Newburgh, NY airports. I would be traveling to Charlotte, NC around December 27 to around January 4. Can someone find me a decent price for a round trip? Cheapest price?

1. There are no discounts. Even taking a little three year old pays the full price for a seat!
2. Airlines do not offer srudent discounts, but there is a company, STA travel, which offers consolidator fares for students. Check them out for details.
3. I would highly recommend both hotwire and priceline, with cheaptickets comping in a close third. I've searched around for airfare quite a bit, and these three sites usually ring true as the cheapest. Other than that, I'd go to sites like igougo.com, travelzoo.com, or bookingbuddy.com. These sites offer searches of multiple online airfare websites, making it easier and less time consuming to compare prices. As for when to buy, I usually go to farecast.com. They pretty accurately predict when a good time to buy a flight would be based off of past and current trends, etc. It's pretty useful. Another site I've found handy is rightflight.org. They did a bunch of research on the various airfare sites to see which sites are usually the cheapest. They also have a list of most of the airfare sites on their webpage, which can be pretty handy in and of itself. Hope this helped!
