Dutch Treat: You’re Really Old When You...


Consider yourself a senior scholar and can name the world’s oldest, continuously-operating airline: Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij voor Nederland en Kolonien. If you can spell and pronounce it, consider yourself a genius.

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines began operations in 1919, just one year after the end of World War I. The first American airline was Delta, which emerged from its crop dusting business to begin hauling passengers in 1924.

Senior Discounts At Popular Restaurant Chains PDF Print E-mail


Cheaper eats: If you want to keep your retirement nest egg a bit longer when dining out and/or traveling, consider these deals. Some are automatic, some for limited times of day/week, some require AARP membership and for others, you won’t get discounts unless you speak up for ‘em.

Arby’s, Golden Corral, Bubba Gump, Burger King, Denny’s, Wendy’s, Sonic, Subway and IHOP take 10% off your bill. Outback offers 15%. Many privately-owned restaurants, especially in city areas where seniors live and visit, offer similar deals.

Some well-known food delivery services also entice seniors with discounts. For example, Papa John’s offers a generous 25% off to AARP members. Therefore, whenever sitting down for or ordering a well-seasoned delivery meal, make sure you ask for the seasoned citizen discount.
