Cheap airfare to germany from cali?

i'm planning on going there in early august of this year, i'm 17 and have no idea where to start, seeing as i haven't ever really travedled. any tips and insight will be helpful. thanks :)

I would try Ef college break. and no, you dont have to be in college to travel through them. You just have to be 18 by day of departure. They are the company I used for my trip to France, and it was awesome. I just got a promo code for them too btw, its hesseln1188, and it saves you like an extra $100. Its packaged tours, and it includes round trip airfare, hotels, tour director and other stuff. You should check them out. I don't know if this helps, but its wht i did.

you can go to priceline.com they have pretty good deals

"cheap" and "august" don't really go together, when it comes to international fares. Probably will be $1100-$1500....but try sta.com for student fare. Good luck!
