Yes — American Airlines does offer special senior-discount fares (sometimes called “senior fares”) for passengers aged 65 and older. Aerodesk
Airline Policies
Wanderlog
Here’s a fuller breakdown of how the policy works, what to watch out for, and how to book:
✅ What the senior discount covers
The age eligibility is generally 65 years or older. Wanderlog
Airline Policies
The discount applies on select routes (both domestic U.S. and some international flights) rather than across the board. Airline Policies
The savings are modest — many sources say the discount ranges roughly from 5% to 10% (or possibly up to ~15%) off the base fare on eligible flights. Reviews Consumer Reports +1
❓ Limitations & important details
Not all routes or fare classes qualify: Some flights may not have senior fares available, especially high-demand or premium routes. Wanderlog
Booking method: Senior fares often won’t show up automatically online via standard booking tools; you may need to call the airline’s reservations line and ask specifically for a “senior fare” or “senior discount.” Aerodesk
Verification: You may need to present a valid photo ID at booking or at check-in to verify your age. Wanderlog
Comparison still matters: Since the discount is route- and fare-specific, sometimes the “regular” fare may actually be cheaper than the senior fare, or the savings may be minimal. Airline Policies
📞 How to book / check eligibility
Call American Airlines reservations and state that you are 65+ and inquire whether a senior fare is available for your itinerary. Aerodesk
When booking online, check if there’s an “Advanced Search” or “Passenger type” dropdown with “Senior (65+)” as an option — though even with that option, senior fares may not always appear. Aerodesk
Be flexible with travel dates, routes, and fare classes — you’ll increase your chance of finding an eligible senior fare.
📝 Summary
In short: Yes, American Airlines does have senior fares (for travelers 65 or older) on certain flights, offering modest discounts compared to standard fares — but these are not guaranteed on every flight, are not always visible online, and must often be booked by phone or with specific routing/fare-class flexibility. If you qualify, it’s worth calling in and asking for the “65+ senior fare” and comparing what you find with the standard fare for the same flight.
