Traveling doesn’t have to break the bank, especially if you take advantage of senior discounts.

Amtrak

Amtrak offers a 10% discount on most rail fares for travelers aged 65 and older. This discount even extends to cross-country routes, making that dream scenic train trip much more affordable. Learn more and book tickets at Amtrak’s Senior Discount page.

Airlines

Several airlines offer unadvertised or under-publicized senior fares. These may not always appear online, so it’s best to call directly and ask.

  • United Airlines: Offers discounted fares on select routes for passengers 65 and over.
  • Delta and Southwest: While they have fewer formal senior fares, calling customer service can sometimes unlock special rates.

National Parks

America the Beautiful Senior Pass gives lifetime access to more than 2,000 federal recreation sites for a one-time fee of $80. A true bargain for nature lovers. Details can be found at the USGS store.
