5 TIPS FOR TRAVELING WITH SENIORS

1. Check with the Doctor First • ask their doctor if they think the senior is physically capable of traveling. You’ll also want to have clear information on any medical conditions, vaccination status and medications.

2. Ask for Senior Discounts • Traveling with seniors comes with a unique benefit access to senior discounts. This could mean reduced flight fares or lower prices at museums and other attractions.

3. Choose Your Travel Route Carefully • Finding the most direct route is the best plan, even if it adds additional cost. Keep your travel plans as straightforward as possible to reduce complications, stress and difficulties. Also choose to travel during a time when your senior feels their best, be it early morning or later in the day.

4. Follow up on Special Requests with a Real Person • Most things are easy to secure online, but if you have any special requests, be sure to confirm with a real person.

5. Expect to Take it Easy • When planning your trip, don’t overstuff your itinerary. Schedule in time for relaxation and limit excessive walking.
