Airline Discounts

Many airlines offer regular discounts fares that are actually cheaper than their senior fares. However, senior fares typically are sold at only a few dollars more than other discounted fares but offer fewer restrictions than other discounted fares. For instance, senior discounts apply to last minute travel deals and are refundable even if you have to cancel your flight. So for many, the airlines' senior discount programs are the best option.
