Are their airline tix discounts for teachers?

by Billbo Baggins

Jul 3, 2011

Hello everyone! I'm wrappimng up my masters program (I'm working on an M.Ed in Education/SPED), and should have my teachers licence this time next year. I have relatives in Europe, i am hoping that once I'm a teacher I'll be able to find 'teacher discounts' to fly to and from the US & France. Where is the best place (if anywhere) for teachers to find discounted flights from the US to Europe? Thanks
