Several Indian airlines offer special discounts for senior citizens. Here's how to get the best fares if you're 60 or older.
Airlines Offering Senior Citizen Discounts
How to Book a Senior Citizen Fare
- Select "Senior Citizen" option during search or booking (most airline websites show this)
- Enter date of birth — the system will verify age eligibility
- Carry age proof to the airport (Aadhaar card, passport, or any government ID with DOB)
- Verify at counter — airlines may check age proof during check-in
Important Notes
- Senior discounts apply only on domestic routes
- Discount is on the base fare only, not on taxes and surcharges
- Sometimes the regular fare can be cheaper than the senior fare during sales
- Always compare both fares before booking
- Senior fares may have stricter cancellation policies
Tips for Senior Travelers
- Request wheelchair assistance — available free at all Indian airports
- Priority boarding — most airlines offer priority boarding for senior citizens
- Choose aisle seat — easier to stand and move during the flight
- Carry medications in your cabin bag in original packaging
- Travel insurance — strongly recommended for travelers above 60
