While student discounts will not save you significant amounts of cash while in Honduras, you'd be wise to arm yourself with an International Student Identity Card (ISIC), which offers substantial savings on plane tickets and the occasional entrance fee. It also provides you with basic health and life insurance and a 24-hour help line. The card is available from STA Travel (tel. 800/781-4040 in North America; www.statravel.com, or www.statravel.co.uk in the U.K.), the biggest student travel agency in the world. If you're no longer a student but are still under 26, you can get an International Youth Travel Card (IYTC) from the same people, which entitles you to some discounts (but not on museum admissions). Travel CUTS (tel. 800/667-2887 or 416/614-2887; www.travelcuts.com) offers similar services for both Canadians and U.S. residents. Irish students may prefer to turn to USIT (tel. 01/602-1600; www.usit.ie), an Ireland-based specialist in student, youth, and independent travel.
