Discount airfare?

I'm trying to fly a friend from Argentina (Buenos Aires) to DC in Sept or Oct but the airfare is 800-1500 dollars. Where can I get discount coupons for airfare? I've been all over the internet and can't find fares cheaper than that. Any ideas to get my friend here on the cheap.

1. You should have your friend check airfares in Argentina, they may be cheaper to purchase there, I live in Asia, and flights originating from here to the US are significantly cheaper than flights that originate in the US that fly to here. I don't know if that's the case in Argentina, but it may be worth looking into. Otherwise $800 doesn't seem too bad for a flight of that distance these days, it seems like airfares are way up this year.
2. Most internet fares are craps. Go to a real travel agency, you may be surprised. BTW, you cannot purchase a air ticket from the on-line agencies (expedia, etc), with departure in a foreign country. But you can do it with a real travel agency in your town.
