A group booking is a special service offered by airlines for reservations of more than 10 passengers traveling together. It provides added flexibility, including installment payments and deferred passenger name submission.
Most airlines require a minimum of 10 passengers for group fares. However, some airlines like IndiGo allow international group bookings starting from 7 passengers.
Flexible payment options – Pay in installments.
Deferred name submission – Confirm seats first, submit names later.
Reduced change/cancellation fees – Lower penalties in many cases.
Typically, 25–30% of the total amount is payable at booking. The remaining balance is due 15, 21, or 30 days before departure, depending on airline policy and group size.
Most airlines allow name submission up to 7 days before departure. However, deadlines may vary according to airline policies.
Online fares allow a maximum of 9 passengers per booking. Group bookings provide one fixed fare for all seats, installment payments, and delayed name submission — benefits not available with standard online bookings.
Example: If 20 seats are required, online booking may result in multiple fare increases. With a group booking, a single fixed fare applies to all seats.
Terms vary depending on airline, group type, size, and travel dates. Specific conditions will be provided with the official group quotation.
