You’ll Have Flexibility to Travel
When you’re working a full-time job, vacation travel is often limited to weekend and holiday flights, when ticket prices are most expensive. However, once you’re retired, you’re free to take vacations whenever you want, including when fares are the lowest.
In addition, some airlines offer special senior discounts, including Southwest Airlines and United Airlines.
Flying isn’t the only mode of transportation that offers senior discounts. If you want to see the country by train, Amtrak offers 15 percent off if you’re 62 or older. If you’d rather enjoy the open seas, Carnival offers special discounts on cruises if you’re over 55.
