Group flight booking FAQ
Answers to common questions about group fares, deposits, name changes and booking group flights.
How many passengers count as a group booking?
Most airlines treat 10 or more passengers travelling together on the same itinerary as a group. If your party is smaller, call us anyway — we can often still find fares that keep everyone together.
How do I get a group flight quote?
Call +1-888-609-1015 (24/7) or send the quote form with your route, dates, number of travelers and cabin class. A group travel specialist compares options across airlines and gets back to you with a quote.
Is a group fare cheaper than booking individual tickets?
Often, yes. Group fares can be lower than the public fares for the same seats, and they usually come with added flexibility such as a small deposit, later name submission and a single locked-in fare for the whole group. Savings depend on the airline, route and travel dates.
Do I need all passenger names when I book?
Usually not. Many airline group contracts let you hold seats with a deposit and submit final passenger names closer to departure. Name deadlines vary by airline and are confirmed in your quote.
Can I book now and pay later?
Many group contracts need only a deposit to hold the seats, with the balance due before ticketing. Your specialist explains the deposit and payment schedule for your group before you commit.
Which airlines can you book for groups?
We can book group travel on most major US and international airlines, including American, Delta, United, Southwest, Alaska, JetBlue, Lufthansa, British Airways, Emirates and Qatar Airways. We are an independent agency and not affiliated with any airline.
Can you book business class or first class for groups?
Yes. We quote economy, premium economy, business and first class for groups, and can mix cabins within one group when needed.
How far in advance should we book group flights?
As early as possible — ideally 3 to 11 months before departure. Group seat inventory is limited per flight, and booking early gives you the best choice of fares and schedules.
Can passengers travel from different cities?
Yes. We can coordinate groups flying from several departure cities so that everyone arrives at the destination together.
