Answer 2

As a student you qualify for standby status. Call all the airlines and tell them you are intrested in a standby flight. They will give you an insanely low price. Then comes standby. As soon as a flight comes up with a seat available you'll be on your way. You might have to wait all day or you may go right away. That's what standby is.
