Booking flights?

mightyreds

Hi guys,
Hope I'm in the right place,does anyone have tips for booking flights say for a group, example: if I book a single flight price is 30 then I push passengers up to 5 or 10 price is suddenly 70.

Probably because there is only a limited number of seats available at the €30 price. Instead of jumping to 5-10 passengers, try dummy bookings for having 2, 3, 4 etc passengers and see when it pushes the price up. Then you could make 2 seperate bookings if the price savings are significant.

You should contact the airline and see if they do a group rate.

I'll try that now best 2 flights of the day are gone up still some times left that are decent, should of got on it when I saw it 2 days ago, I think the group booking is odd I tried it before and they wanted mad money for it

Please be wary of this. I tried it before. Booking 10 people cost €100 each, so I booked 5 first at €70, and suddenly when I tried to book 5 more it was €149.

You need to contract the airline for best price on group bookings unless you have access to the fare classes available on the dates you are looking for.
