I'm taking a trip out to athens next may and i dont want to drop 1200 on a plane ticket if i don't neccesarily have too. I've come across a few sites on the net that claim to give you cheap airfare(up to 85% off) for a year membership fee. http://www.affordabletravel.org/

I don't know what to beleive because the sites dont look that legit. Besides having your dad work for an airline or credit card miles, is cheap airfare at all possible?

There are always deals out there on sites like travelocity and orbitz, you just have to be patient.

Travel agents actually have good deals some of the time. Try STA Travel, they got my friends to Europe and back for $990.

Also check out Jetblue, Ryan Air and Easyjet. These airlines usually can provide you witha cheap flight, as long as you travel light (they will NAIL you if your baggage is overweight, look carefully!) and dont mind flying into somewhat obscure airports (Luton instead of Heathrow for example. Busses and local transit to city's still is cheaper in most cases, so if you dont mind a little extra travel, go for it!).
