Look for senior discounts

There are many airlines that offer discounts for senior people, so make sure to look for them. However, don’t look for them too much because you could end up falling for a scam.
If you find one, then make sure it is a legal and a legit website that doesn’t look sketchy. If there are reviews, then make sure to read them all and if you had one single doubt about it, then ignore it completely.
You can even call the airline and make sure if there are discounts, and only then when you can trust giving them your money.
Disability options

One of the most important steps during the booking process is to check the disability options if they were necessary. We can’t deny that traveling can be a little exhausting, so if it is going to help, then please don’t hesitate to check their option and pick the one you would need the most.
Airlines like Southwest allow their clients to select disability options during the booking process, while other airlines, like Delta, requires the costumes to contact them by phone in order to select your options separately.
In case you truly need this option, then you might consider traveling with a younger family member or a friend that would help you throughout the entire trip.
Pick the right time of the day for travel

Again, we have to admit that traveling at the age of 60 is not the same as traveling at the age of 30, so you have to make sure that the time of travel suits your energy and ability to handle standing in the security line and waiting for the plane in case it was delayed.
We recommend traveling early afternoon or mid-morning, you should completely avoid nights and early mornings because they can be too exhausting.
Plus, traveling in mid-day will give you a chance to wake up with no rush and even have your morning scone peacefully before the hustle starts.
