This might be true for US residents, but the airline above have no flights
to Canada, and the flight to Portland goes via Seattle and more than
doubles the price :)

The above price was with Scandinavian (SAS), KLM had slightly more expensive
fares, other alternatives (BA, etc) might apply to residents of other
European countries.

Note that students might find better offers using Kilroy Travels, whereas
travelling agencies for non-students generally leads to more expensive
tickets than buying directly from airline.
