Maximum age limit for seniors to fly?

By admin on December 23, 2010

I heard a case in which a 100-year-old woman was refused a flight ticket by an airline because she was too old (although still healthy). Is there an age limit for seniors to fly? My mother is 93 years old. Can she fly on an international route (12 hours), alone or accompanied by a relative? We accept that she cannot get travel insurance for the flight.

    No, there is no age limit. Yes, your mother can fly international by herself.

    Good luck!

    It depends on her health on the day she flies. There is no age limit to being allowed on a flight however it is up to the check in staff of an airline as to whether she flies or not.

    There is no age limit for air travel. Anyone in good health can fly on an airplane.
