How to Make Group Booking in India

Making a group booking in India involves a different process from booking individual tickets. Here is a complete guide for Indian travellers.

Step 1: Decide your group travel details

Confirm your route, travel date, number of passengers (minimum 10) and class of travel before submitting an inquiry.

Step 2: Choose your airline

  • For domestic routes: IndiGo, SpiceJet, Akasa Air or Air India.
  • For international routes: Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad, Saudia, Turkish Airlines, Air Arabia or others depending on your destination.

Step 3: Contact a group booking specialist

Group bookings cannot be made on airline websites. Contact us on +91 92500 06660 or use our group booking form. We submit fare requests to airline group desks.

Step 4: Evaluate the group fare quote

Compare the group fare total against buying 10 individual tickets. Group fares are typically cheaper AND more stable (won't increase after deposit).

Step 5: Pay the deposit and hold seats

A 25–40% deposit holds all seats. Without this, the airline will not block seats.

Step 6: Collect passenger details and submit names

Collect full names, dates of birth and travel document numbers. Submit by the airline's deadline (7–21 days before travel).

Step 7: Pay balance and collect tickets

Pay remaining amount, receive e-tickets for all passengers.

Best practices for group booking in India

  • Book early — 30–60 days for domestic, 60–90 days for international.
  • Lock in fares as early as possible — prices rise closer to departure.
  • Use one contact person for the entire group booking process.
  • Carry a copy of the group invoice — useful at airport check-in.

Smooth group booking for 22 colleagues
We booked a 22-seat corporate group fare with Airline Group Booking. Seats were held on a small deposit and we submitted passenger names later — far cheaper and less stressful than buying 22 individual tickets.

Perfect for our wedding party
We had 40 guests flying to Goa for the wedding. The team negotiated a great group fare and gave us one combined invoice. Someone was reachable 24x7 whenever we had a change.

Saved on our school tour
Organised a student group of 35 to Jaipur. The fare stayed locked even when live prices went up, and name changes were handled without any fuss. Very useful for a school budget.

Held fare, flexible names
Loved that we could hold the seats first and confirm names later. They made a complex 18-person multi-city itinerary feel simple.
