Group Flight Booking — Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about booking group flights for 10 or more passengers.

Answers to the questions groups ask before they book. If yours is not here, send the route, date and number of passengers and ask it with the request.

The short version

  • Ten or more passengers on the same flight can usually be booked as a group.
  • A quote is free. A deposit holds the seats; names and the balance follow by the dates in the quote.
  • The airline's written quote for your flight is what sets the deadlines and charges.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a group booking?
A group booking is a reservation of 10 or more airline seats on the same flight, date and class at a specially negotiated group fare — lower than individual ticket prices.
What is the minimum number of passengers for a group booking?
Most Indian domestic airlines (IndiGo, SpiceJet, Akasa Air) require a minimum of 10 passengers. International airlines may require 10–15 passengers.
Are group fares cheaper than individual tickets?
Yes — group fares are typically 10–30% cheaper than comparable individual fares at the time of booking. More importantly, group fares are locked in after deposit while individual fares can spike significantly closer to departure.
Do I need to provide all passenger names at the time of booking?
No — group bookings allow name submissions closer to departure. Names are typically due 7–21 days before travel (7 days domestic, 14–21 days international).
Can I add more passengers after a group booking is confirmed?
Sometimes yes, subject to seat availability on the same flight. Additional passengers may be added at the same group fare if the airline still has seats available in the group block.
What is a group booking deposit?
A deposit of 25–40% of the total group fare is paid to hold the seats. Without the deposit, the airline will not hold seats and the fare is not guaranteed.
When is the balance due?
The balance is typically due 30–45 days before departure for domestic flights and 45–60 days for international flights.
Can I book a group on the airline's own website?
No — group bookings for 10 or more passengers are not available on airline websites. They must go through the airline's group desk. We handle this process on your behalf.
What happens if a passenger cancels from the group?
Individual cancellations attract airline cancellation charges. If the group drops below the minimum of 10 passengers, remaining passengers may be rebooked at higher individual fares.
How long does it take to get a group booking confirmed?
Domestic airlines typically respond within 24–48 hours. International airline group desks may take 48–72 hours to confirm availability and quote a fare.
Can children and infants be part of a group?
Yes. Tell us how many, because airlines price children and infants differently and an infant does not occupy a seat.
What if fewer people travel than we booked?
The quote states until when the group can be reduced and what is charged afterwards. If the number falls below the airline’s group minimum, the booking may be re-priced.
Can we get a GST invoice?
Yes. Give the company name and GST number with the booking and the invoice is issued with those details.

We had a group booking for 125 passengers from Bangalore to Rajkot and in return which consisted of both Air and Road transport arrangements. Airline Group had provided us 24/7 support to ensure the safety and security of our passengers during their journey. They were very accommodating when it comes to the travel bookings as well as in extending a helping hand during the time of crisis. We appreciate the concern & professionalism displayed by the team, especially, Mr. Yogesh & Ms. Nandini and wish them all good for the future endeavours.

The company did an unbelievable job, right from negotiating and availing lowest airfares from GoAir.in and clearing all the doubts even the petty ones.
