7. Airline Employee (Senior Hires)

Airlines highly value the customer service experience and calm demeanor that older adults bring to the table. Whether you work as a part-time gate agent, a customer service representative, or even a flight attendant, the ultimate perk of airline employment is flight privileges.

Airline employees, and often their spouses, can fly standby for free or at a drastically reduced cost on both domestic and international routes. While standby travel requires extreme flexibility—since you only get a seat if the flight is not full—retirees have the ideal open schedule to take advantage of these massive travel discounts.
