Student sports travel FAQs
-
A group flight consolidator is a travel company that purchases airline seats in bulk at wholesale rates, then passes those savings on to their clients. For schools, colleges and sports teams booking group sports travel, this means access to lower fares than if you booked directly with an airline, along with specialist support throughout the process.
-
Most airlines define a group booking as 10 or more passengers travelling on the same itinerary. At BTG Travel Management, we regularly arrange group flights for sports tours ranging from small squads of 10 to large touring parties of 100 people or more.
