Discounts are something a business does as a favor. They are not required however to compete they probably are beneficial in getting more business. The average senior citizen is on a fixed income from what they saved for retirement. What you should ask is, who is your target market? I am guessing it's Senior Citizens who can afford to travel. This means they have to be middle class and above. High class may think of an discout as an insult or cheaper service so you have to take that into account if this is high end but I am guessing it's not. If you are trying at the Class of seniors like my mom who work still to make ends meet because Social Secrity alone dosen't cut it then I would say 50% discounts would benefit greatly. They wanna see the grandkids...low air fares, low RV rentals. Take a survey among a segment of the Senior population and ask them what they want. They probably want rebate on what you listed first the most. Eating probably follows. Grandparent kid go with discounts. And for the more frugal discounts on staple items. They also like books, readers digest, crossword ect.

Are you asking what they need or what they can get?

They can use a discount on everything if they are living on Social Security. Meds, travel, everything to do with their life. Food help, transportation assistance if they can't ride the bus anymore and taxi's cost too much.

What can they get help with:

Help paying meds from drug companies.
Travel discounts
Movie and meal ticket discounts.
Many qualify for what's called H.E.A.T assistance that helps pay the untilities.
Many qualify for Telephone Assistance, which brings their rate down on a basic phone line, not on other options.
Seniors can get discounts on bus passes in most communities.

I think seniors that have worked faithfully all their life deserves discount on anything they want or need.
