Group charter

Group charter brings your party onto one flight, with aircraft options matched to passenger numbers, baggage and itinerary.

Planning a group charter

Start with the number of people who need to travel together. If the list is provisional, give a minimum and maximum rather than one uncertain figure. Describe the purpose of the trip and any fixed arrival deadline. A conference delegation, a family celebration and a sports team may share a destination but need different arrangements.

Seats and baggage belong in the same brief

Before comparing aircraft, list the bags and equipment travelling with the group. Include dimensions for bulky items such as instrument cases, exhibition materials or sports equipment. Ask for confirmation that the proposed seating and baggage arrangements work together. An aircraft with enough passenger seats is not automatically the right choice for everything your party needs to carry.

One itinerary or several departure points

Tell us where passengers will start their journeys and which stops are essential. If everyone can meet at one airport, say so. If some people join later, show the passenger count for each leg. Include the return trip, even when the date is still provisional. These details give a clearer basis for comparing a direct itinerary with one that includes extra stops.

Coordinating your group flight

Choose one person to collect changes and keep the itinerary current. Before booking, review the departure airports, dates, local times and services included in each proposal. Confirm how passenger changes or a revised schedule would be handled. Then share the agreed plan with the whole party, including the meeting point and any instructions provided for the flight. This helps avoid different versions of the schedule circulating among passengers.
