Airline Consolidator fares

Whether you have to go on a family vacation, or are planning a trip with close buddies, with office colleagues, or planning to attend a wedding of your buddy. We understand how much fun it is to travel in a group, to be going together to a destination. And to enhance the appeal of this fun.

Several US airlines offers travellers who have more than a certain number of people discounts and other perks. These types of fares can be especially appealing when planning a group getaway or family vacation. Here’s how group fares and benefits break down for each of the major US carriers:

Alaska offers two options for group travel: one for groups traveling separately and one for groups traveling on the same flight. For each, you’ll get discounted airfare and the ability to earn tour conductor credits based on your group size. To get a better idea of which option is better for your group and to book, call Alaska’s group desk at 1–800–445–4435.
