The Best Senior Travel Discounts, and Where to Find Them
If you are over the age of 65 in the US (or age 60 in the rest of the world), there are a wide variety of travel discounts available to you. Some airlines offer senior fares, as do many large US hotel chains and independent hotels. An important note from this article is that in order to take advantage of senior travel discounts at hotels, you must book with a travel agent or directly with the hotel rather than through an online travel agency such as Expedia. Working with a travel agent ensures you are getting the full discount you are entitled to.
