Question 1

Does the senior discount still apply if we book together on one PNR?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely yes. The eligible senior citizen passenger receives the full airline-specified discount (typically 6-10% off base fare for domestic flights, sometimes up to 50% on select Air India routes). Other passengers in the booking pay the standard market rate.

The key difference is that despite having different fare types, you're all on ONE PNR instead of separate bookings. You don't lose the discount – you gain the convenience of traveling as a unified group with guaranteed together seating and simplified trip management.

Question 2

Which airlines in India support single PNR booking for senior citizens?

Accepted Answer

We can create unified senior citizen + regular fare bookings on these Indian carriers:

✈️ Full Service Airlines:
- Air India (including domestic and international)
- Vistara (all routes)

✈️ Low-Cost Carriers:
- IndiGo (most popular choice)
- SpiceJet
- Akasa Air
- Air Asia India (select routes)

✈️ International Carriers (India routes):
- Emirates, Singapore Airlines, Qatar Airways (when booking India domestic connections)

Note: Availability depends on route, date, and current airline policies. Some promotional fare sales may have restrictions. We'll always inform you upfront if your preferred airline/route doesn't support this booking method.

Question 3

What is the age limit for senior citizen flight discounts in India?

Accepted Answer

Most Indian airlines require passengers to be 60 years or older on the date of travel to qualify for senior citizen concession fares. Here's the breakdown by airline:

- IndiGo: 60+ years (6% discount on base fare)
- Air India: 60+ years (up to 50% on select routes)
- Vistara: 60+ years (varies by route)
- SpiceJet: 60+ years (6% discount)
- Akasa Air: 60+ years (special senior fares)

Important: Age is calculated based on date of travel, not date of booking. If your parent turns 60 between booking and travel date, they may not qualify. Always verify age eligibility with your travel agent.

Question 4

Is it possible to book a senior citizen fare and a normal fare on one ticket?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but only through specialized travel agents with direct airline portal access like FastTrip. Standard online travel apps (MakeMyTrip, Cleartrip, Goibibo, Yatra) cannot do this because their consumer-facing systems don't support mixed fare type bookings on a single PNR.

We use B2B airline booking systems (GDS portals like Amadeus, Sabre, Travelport) that allow us to create unified bookings where some passengers receive senior citizen discounts while others pay regular fares – all under one PNR code. This keeps your family together from booking through boarding.

Question 5

Is this legal according to DGCA regulations?

Accepted Answer

100% legal and compliant. We follow all DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) and airline policies. Our method uses official "Group Booking" and "Agent PNR" protocols that travel industry professionals have used for decades.

✗ Manipulate fare rules
✗ Use fake IDs or incorrect ages

What we DO:
✓ Use IATA-certified travel agent credentials
✓ Book through official airline portals (Amadeus, Sabre)
