American Airlines senior discount: Benefits & How To Avail

To qualify for American Airlines senior discounts, passengers must be 65 years or older. The discount is typically applied to flights for senior travelers, but age verification through a government-issued ID or passport may be required at the time of booking or check-in.

Senior discounts on American Airlines usually range from 10% to 15% off the base fare. However, the actual discount depends on the route, flight availability, and season. It’s important to note that discounts may not be available for every flight, so availability can vary.

To book a senior discount flight, visit American Airlines’ official website, mobile app, or call their customer service. When booking online, you can select the "Senior (65+)" option from the passenger type dropdown menu. Alternatively, if you prefer to book by phone, call Experian Airfare and request the senior discount.

Yes, American Airlines offers senior discounts on both domestic and international flights. Popular international routes, such as to Mexico, the Caribbean, and Europe, are more likely to feature senior discounts. However, availability can vary by route, and not all flights will have discounted fares.

In most cases, senior discounts cannot be combined with other promotional offers or special discounts. The senior discount is a standalone offer, and combining it with other deals (such as flash sales or loyalty benefits) is generally not allowed. However, it’s worth checking the terms at the time of booking for any exceptions or special promotions.
