1001 way to get to the Great Britain (Part 2)

What does ISIC card offer?
On the UNESCO’s initiative in 1949 the International confederation of student’s tourism ISTC (International Student Travel Confederation), promoting development of student’s tourism, educational and cultural exchanges, has been established. 
The Association of owners of international student’s certificate ISIC (International Student Identify Card) is one of the five associations entering in ISTC. ISIC is a unique official international student’s identification card which simultaneously is the discount card, giving from above 17 thousand of discounts and privileges worldwide (from 5 % up to 100 %). The discounts extend literally on everything: on accommodation in hotels and, on all kinds of transportations and a municipal transportation, on visiting of museums, theatres, cinemas, exhibitions, on telephone conversations and many other things. Pupils can get this card practically at any educational establishments. Only the student’s or student’s ticket (or the information from an educational institution) and a photo 3×4 is necessary for its registration. The cost of the card is established by the International confederation of student’s tourism and makes $7. 
What is an ITIC card?
Since 1984 the International Teacher Identity Card, similar to the student’s card, is issued by the Confederation ISTC. The cost of the card is $7. The list of privileges for teachers is a little bit less, than for students. ITIC card allows saving essentially on traveling worldwide. For registration of the card you should present the document (reference) confirming, that you are the teacher of the educational institution, and a photo 3Х4. 
How to reduce the price of the air ticket
Plan a flight in advance. The majority of reduced rates work on condition that the passenger buys the ticket 2 or 3 weeks prior to a trip.
Define the date and terms of a trip. Often the discounts for tickets operate during certain time (at the beginning of month, at the end of a season, at a minimum or a maximum of stay). It is possible to save much, having planned a trip according to these positions.
Plan an easy route. The cost of the ticket depends on the range of distance. If your route passes through 2-3 cities, do not do a “hook”. Ask the operator. Perhaps, just for you the most significant discounts and the most successful special offers are also stipulated.
