Im starting to look into travel options for the team next year. When doing group bookings with the airlines (I've been meaning to reach out to southwest specifically for info), how are the airlines with working around so much uncertainty in what we do?
Specifically im curious about:
Do airlines offer group refundable tickets (we won't know if we've officially qualified until 2 weeks prior to Champs), even if its at a higher price…
Do we need to know the names of every person needing a ticket the day we call the airline to book tickets?
If we call and book for 30 people (totaly random number for now), and closer to the time realize only 25 people are able to make the trip, are we still commited to 30 tickets? (This kinda overlaps with the refundable question…)
Attempting to plan a trip several months out that we won't actually know if we're going on until 2 weeks prior, and ensuring we can provide accurate quotes to parents is an extremely challenging process. A similar situation to our DCMP planning this past year, but now we're throwing air travel into the mix too
