how many id’s should a senior citizen need to present in checking in for airasia??

Have just booked a ticket online for my mom, unfortunately no option to get the discount. Is there any chance to refund the Senior Citizen discount at the airport upon presenting her senior citizen ID?

Good day!

I want to avail your discounted ticket for senior citizen intended for my mother.

Thank you very much.

I booked domestic airline tickets with Pal express and Cebu Pacific and was given 20% senior discount. I also booked domestic airline ticket with Tiger airways and was refused senior discount and was told that company policy does allow senior discounts. Is there a government email address where I can lodge my complaint? Thank you.
