What Is a Conference Group Request on IndiGo?

A conference group request covers people travelling to the same event rather than on the same flight. It is the category for delegates converging on one city from several origins, often arriving and leaving on different days.

How it differs from an ordinary group request

An ad hoc group is one block on one departure. A conference group is one event with many itineraries — forty delegates from six cities, arriving across two days, leaving across three. The desk prices it as a single request even though no two travellers share a booking.

What makes it worth requesting as a conference

• One negotiation and one point of contact instead of six separate bookings
• Consistent pricing across origins, rather than whoever books last paying most
• Names supplied later, which matters while the delegate list is still moving
• Changes handled centrally as attendance firms up

What to send

The destination and the event dates, the origin cities with a headcount against each, and how much flexibility there is on arrival and departure days. A rough split is enough to be quoted; precision can come later.

Where the money is

Flexibility on arrival and departure days. A conference block that can absorb a day either side is priced against more inventory, and on busy routes that is where the difference shows up. Say what is fixed and what is not when you ask.

Corporate offsites, dealer meets, weddings drawing guests from several cities and academic conferences all fit this shape, whether or not the word conference appears anywhere in the plan.
