+1 (323) 800 6001A senior travel reservation with Fond Travels means one phone call to a patient travel expert who compares fares on major airlines, adds any assistance you need, and books the whole trip for you. You get seats and connections chosen around your comfort, the fine print explained in plain English, and a confirmation sent to you without filling out a single online form. It is built for travelers in their 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond, and for the adult children who often arrange a parent's trip. We are an independent US travel agency, and our phones are answered around the clock.
Who this is for?
This service is for older travelers who would rather talk to a real person than wrestle with a booking site, and for anyone who wants the small details handled properly the first time. That includes grandparents flying to see family, retirees finally taking the trip they have been planning for years, and snowbirds who head south for the winter and want an easy return in spring. It is also for travelers with limited mobility, hearing or vision changes, or a medical condition that makes a rushed connection a bad idea. Many of our callers are sons and daughters booking on behalf of a parent; we are happy to work with you, and with your parent on the line if they prefer, so everyone knows exactly what has been arranged.

What is a Senior Flight?
Your golden years deserve golden memories. FondTravels is here to make every journey affordable and enjoyable. A senior flight refers to airfare specifically for older adults, typically 60 and above. Airlines often provide special assistance and discounted fares, allowing seniors to travel comfortably and affordably, whether they’re visiting family, vacationing, or fulfilling personal travel needs.
What's included when you book with us?
- A fare comparison across major airlines for your dates, including any senior fares where an airline still offers them, so you can see which option actually costs less.
- Assistance requests such as wheelchair service, help through the terminal, and boarding assistance added to your booking and confirmed with the airline before you travel.
- Seat selection handled for you: aisle seats, seats near the front, extra legroom where available, and seats together for couples or a parent and an adult child.
- An itinerary built around your pace, with nonstop flights or longer, more comfortable layovers instead of the tightest connection the search engine spits out.
- A clear explanation of the fare rules before you pay, including whether the ticket can be changed, what a change costs, and how refunds or credits work on that airline.
- Hotels, rental cars, airport transfers, and travel insurance options coordinated in the same call if you want the whole trip handled at once.
- Your confirmation sent by email, and read to you over the phone if that is easier, with a printed-style itinerary you can keep in your bag.
- One number to call afterward for changes, weather disruptions, or simple questions like \"what terminal do I go to?\"
What to know before you book
A few practical points make senior travel much smoother. None of them are complicated, but they are easy to miss on a booking site, which is exactly why people call us instead.
- Identification. Domestic flights require a REAL ID-compliant driver's license, a passport, or another accepted form of ID. International trips require a passport, and many countries want it valid for six months past your return date. Ask us about current requirements for your destination.
- Proof of age for senior fares. Where a senior fare exists, the airline sets the qualifying age and may ask to see ID at the airport. We enter your date of birth correctly at booking so there are no surprises at check-in.
- Assistance requests. Wheelchair and mobility assistance should be added when you book, not on the day of travel. We add it and confirm it, and we recommend arriving a little earlier than the standard advice so there is no rush.
- Medical equipment and medications. Portable oxygen concentrators, CPAP machines, mobility scooters, and similar devices are usually allowed, but each airline has its own notice and paperwork rules. Tell us what you are bringing and we'll confirm for your booking. Keep medications in your carry-on.
- Connections. Large hub airports can mean long walks between gates. If you prefer, we will choose nonstops, longer layovers, or airports that are easier to move through.
- Flexible fares. If your dates might shift, say so. Many fares now allow changes, but rules differ by airline and by fare type, and the cheaper-looking basic fares often do not. We will explain the difference before you decide.
- Timing. For domestic trips, booking a few weeks to a couple of months ahead usually gives the widest choice of seats and assistance slots. For snowbird season and international travel, earlier is better. Call for current pricing on your dates.
Common situations we handle
A widow flying alone for the first time in years. She wants to attend her grandson's graduation but has not flown since her husband passed. Our expert books a nonstop where possible, requests wheelchair assistance from curb to gate, selects an aisle seat near the front, and walks her through what will happen at security and boarding. She hangs up with a printed itinerary and our number for the day of travel.
A snowbird couple with an uncertain return. They know when they want to fly south but not exactly when they will come back. We book the outbound on a fare with reasonable change rules, explain the exact cost of moving the return, and note their seat preferences so they sit together on both legs. When spring comes, one call moves the return date.
An adult daughter booking for her father. Her 84-year-old dad uses a walker and has a heart condition. She calls from another state, we conference him in, choose an itinerary with a comfortable layover, arrange assistance at both airports, and send the confirmation to both of them. She knows what has been arranged, and he knows who to call.
