The discounted fares can be upwards of 50% off the original ticket price, making them one of the more generous airline discounts out there. Senior fares apply to both domestic and international flights, though the availability of discounted tickets can vary by destination. Discounts are not only available for the airfare portion of your trip, but also for related expenses such as hotel stays, car rental and baggage fees.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Is_Eligible_for_Southwest_Senior_Fares\"><\/span>Who Is Eligible for Southwest Senior Fares?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>Only individuals 65 years and up are eligible for senior fares on Southwest Airlines. A passport, driver\u2019s license, or state-issued ID may be used to prove age eligibility. You may also provide your Social Security number (desk agents do not need to see the card). Travelers who have already purchased a full-price ticket may contact Southwest to adjust the fare.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_the_Process_for_Booking_a_Southwest_Senior_Fare\"><\/span>What Is the Process for Booking a Southwest Senior Fare?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><\/p><!-- \/wp:post-content --><!-- wp:paragraph --><p>The booking process for senior fares is the same as any other ticket on Southwest Airlines.
