Unlock 25% Off: Don't Let Your Senior Savings Fly Away.
Air India’s Senior Citizen program offers travelers aged 60 and above special fare concessions of up to 25% off domestic base fares and up to 10% off international base fares across all cabin classes.
Beyond direct ticket savings, the package packs in excellent flexibility perks, including one free date change (provided it is requested more than three days before departure) and generous additional baggage allowances tailored by destination.
Visit the official Air India website or mobile app and enter your route and travel dates.
Choose "Senior Citizen" from the Concession Type dropdown menu in the booking widget to instantly apply the fare discount.
Complete your booking and ensure you carry a valid government-issued photo ID showing your date of birth for verification at the airport.
"Book flights early to get the best fares."
Frequent travelers can maximize their savings by joining Flying Returns, Air India’s loyalty program. Members earn reward points on every flight, which can be redeemed for flight upgrades, award tickets, and various lifestyle rewards through partner brands. The program features tiered memberships, Red, Silver, Golden, and Maharaja, with higher tiers offering benefits such as priority check-in, additional baggage allowances beyond the student perk, and lounge access.
For students traveling in groups of ten or more, such as for study abroad programs or university clubs, Air India provides specialized group booking rates. These rates are often lower than individual commercial fares and offer more flexibility regarding name changes and payment schedules. By submitting a group request through their dedicated portal, you can secure a fixed price for the entire party, avoiding the price hikes that often occur when booking multiple individual tickets separately.
Signing up for the Air India newsletter is an effective way to stay informed about limited-time "Global Sales" and seasonal promotional fares. Subscribers often receive early notifications for flash sales that can offer deeper discounts than standard student rates.
