Why book your group travel through BTG Travel Management?

Managing a group booking is not the same as buying individual tickets. It requires a lot more coordination with the airline over passenger names, ticketing schedules, baggage allowances and special requests. It typically requires the flexibility to handle a list that changes as your departure date approaches as well.

BTG Travel Management takes all that work off your hands. Our experienced group flight specialists work directly with airlines including Ethiopian Airlines to secure group slots, manage the paperwork and keep you informed at every stage. When you book with us, you benefit from:

  • Booking group flights with international airlines involves meeting specific procedures and deadlines that differ from standard ticketing. Our team understands how Ethiopian Airlines operates its group booking process and manages all airline communication on your behalf. 

  • Confirmed numbers can change, names arrive late, passengers drop out and requests get added. We help you manage the reality of group travel by keeping your booking accurate, chasing missing details where needed, and ensuring ticketing deadlines are met without disrupting your travel plans. 

  • Group airfares are allocated separately from individual tickets, and the pricing structures are different. As a group flight consolidator, BTG Travel Management has access to Ethiopian Airlines group allocations and can work to secure the most competitive fares for your group.

  • Once your flight booking is confirmed, we remain your key point of contact. If Ethiopian Airlines schedule changes, a disruption occurs, or your group needs a last-minute amendment, our team responds quickly to resolve it with minimum impact on your plans.

ShebaMiles offers four rewarding membership tiers with benefits increasing based on the number of Status Miles. Plus, as  a Star Alliance member airline, Ethiopian Airlines allows ShebaMiles members to earn and redeem miles across the full Star Alliance network.
