Where do you find cheap plane tickets?

I'm a college student and I have to buy a plane ticket to fly home over the holidays. The costs are starting to rack up. I currently use Priceline to bargain for my ticket. Any other ideas of how to buy cheap tickets?

For students statravel.com is worth checking out. Sometimes it also worth it to glance at the airlines websites--they do occasionally have good deals that don't show up on websites.
1. for a flight of a lenghth of 1 hour, never fly coach ( I'm 15 and I know that, no my parents are not rich, I keep a drawer full of cash for whenever we travel, so I can bump myself up to first class. 2. (the important part) book tickets straight from the airline, if you go through priceline, or some other service, they charge you extra, it takes more time to find a better deal, but it is well worth it.

The best time to buy airline tickets is late Monday Nights (10pm and up) until early tuesday morning (6-9 am). When i needed to fly to ga, I saw the ticket for $568 on a friday, and I came back monday night, and booked the same flight for $136 total. Orbitz.com is great!

Holiday times are usually going to be more expensive to fly no matter what airline you choose or what website you go to. You can try looking at discount airlines or alternative departure/arrival cities. Otherwise be flexible with your dates of travel.
