The quick answer: American Airlines has no published senior discount; senior fares for 65+ exist only on limited routes.
The details
American does not advertise a standing senior discount or publish a discount percentage. Senior fares for travelers 65+ exist only on a limited set of routes: aa.com’s flight search includes a ‘Senior (65+)’ passenger type that surfaces senior pricing where it exists, but on most routes the senior fare is identical to the regular adult fare. Some senior-travel guides describe American’s senior fares as effectively discontinued for most markets, which matches how rarely they price lower. Compare any senior fare against the standard fare before booking.
How to claim it
Choose ‘Senior (65+)’ as the passenger type when searching on aa.com, or call American reservations to ask about senior fares on your route. (Qualifying age: 65+.)
