(MONEY Magazine) – Spring break time? For $548, students from age 14 to 24 can buy TWA's Youth Travel Pak (800-221-2000), good for four one-way tickets between any U.S. cities the airline serves (plus Montego Bay, Puerto Plata, Santo Domingo and Toronto; Hawaii costs two coupons each way). Those on a tighter budget may prefer Greyhound's Go-Anywhere student fares (800-231-2222). Through April 18, travel round trip anywhere in the U.S. for $99 with a $20 Student Advantage membership.

Cathay Pacific's All Asia Pass--which gets you to Asia and allows 21 days of unlimited flights throughout the region--costs $999 until May 7. After that, it goes up $200. Call 800-228-4297 for details.

Longtime frequent fliers on TWA should consider redeeming miles by April 30. After that, "non-equity" miles--those accrued before the March 1998 rollout of TWA's "Aviator" program--will be folded in with new ones. Why should you care? It takes 20,000 old miles to earn a domestic ticket--but 25,000 new ones. Call 800-325-4815 for details.

Visit a dude ranch between mid-May (when many open for the season) and mid-June (when schools let out) for early-season rates. At Colorado's King Mountain Ranch (800-476-5464), lodging, meals, a horse, instruction and guided rides cost $160 a night instead of $250. Call 970-223-8440 for a list of 106 ranches, or click on www.duderanch.org.
