What is MICE travel?
MICE stands for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions. It refers to a specific category of corporate group travel and each component involves distinct travel needs, which is why working with a specialist group flight consolidator is so valuable.
Meetings: Group flights for professionals attending corporate meetings, business negotiations, training sessions or networking events.
Incentives: Incentive travel is used by businesses to reward high-performing employees or motivate teams.
Conferences: Large-scale gatherings where industry professionals come together to share knowledge, discuss trends and network.
Exhibitions: Travel to major trade shows and industry-specific exhibitions.

Frequently asked questions
-
Most airlines require a minimum of 10 passengers to qualify for group flight rates. At BTG Travel Management, we work with MICE groups of all sizes, from small executive delegations to large conference parties and can advise on the best booking approach depending on your group size and destination.
-
Cancellation policies for MICE group flight bookings vary by airline and fare type, but there are some common terms to be aware of when planning your event travel. Most airlines require a deposit at the point of booking to hold group seats, with the remaining balance due closer to the departure date. If a group booking is cancelled after the balance has been paid, cancellation charges typically apply on a sliding scale. Some airlines offer partially refundable group fares at a higher base rate, which can be worth considering for MICE events where delegate numbers are uncertain. At BTG Travel Management, we review and negotiate cancellation and amendment terms at the point of booking, ensuring you understand your liability before committing.
-
The most effective way to secure group flight discounts for a MICE event is to book early and through a group flight consolidator. Airlines release group inventory and their most competitive group fares well in advance, and the best rates are typically secured six to twelve months before departure.
-
Yes. Airlines offer special group rates for MICE travel, particularly for parties of 10 or more passengers. As a group flight specialist, BTG Travel Management has established relationships with major airlines, allowing us to negotiate exclusive MICE travel fares and booking conditions that are not publicly available.
-
Last-minute changes are one of the most common challenges in MICE travel — delegate numbers shift, speakers drop out or event dates move. BTG Travel Management handles all amendments directly with the airline on your behalf. We negotiate flexible name change and date amendment terms at the point of booking wherever possible, so that when changes do occur, they can be managed quickly and with minimal cost to your organisation.
-
Yes. Incentive travel is one of our core areas of expertise within MICE. We understand that these trips need to feel premium and run without a hitch, as they are a direct reflection of your organisation's commitment to its people. We work with you to secure the best routes, fares and booking conditions for your incentive group, and provide dedicated support from initial planning through to return.
