Getting There
Discounted Airline Tickets
Check prices on several websites before booking, as fares are not always the same. If you fly on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays, fares are usually lower.
Senior Discounts on Airlines
To save considerably on airline fares, consider buying a Senior Coupon Book.
With a coupon book, one way transportation is usually less than $150.
For particulars, call your airline. For schedules, special discounts, and more, check the airlines' websites:
