Senior Discount ???
 
Has anyone been able to get a "Senior" discount ?? I was trying to purchase tickets for my mom and tried clicking on the Senior box - nothing changed !! Has anyone been able to get this discount ?? I was trying only on Continental.

Continental hasn't offered any senior fares for years, even though that check box has always been there.

Thanks rkkwan ! Maybe they should get rid of that box !

Well, technically CO does offer senior discounts, but only on <i>select</i> routes. Checking the box can't hurt on the off chance that ere is a senior fare for the route you want.

I had senior discounts on United IAD-ABQ for last month, $417.00 vs $525.00. In checking United fares IAD-SFO for next April there is no difference in price for seniors.

It looks, they don't automatically give this discount, they have only limited seats on select flights.
