5 Ways to Save Money on Group Flights

Group travel is more fun, but it can also be more expensive if you're not strategic about booking flights. Here are five practical ways to save money when coordinating flights for a group. 1. Compare across multiple booking sites Different booking platforms often show different prices for the same flight. Land Together links you to multiple booking sites so you can compare and pick the best deal. 2. Be flexible with your dates If your group can shift travel dates by even a day or two, you might find significantly cheaper flights. Mid-week flights (Tuesday and Wednesday) are typically the most affordable. 3. Don't default to the cheapest individual flight The cheapest flight for each person might not be the cheapest combination for the group. A slightly more expensive flight for one traveler might mean a much cheaper option for another, resulting in lower total cost. 4. Book early but watch for sales Domestic flights are generally cheapest 1-3 months in advance, while international flights hit their sweet spot 2-8 months out. Set up price alerts and be ready to book when prices drop. 5. Consider nearby airports If your destination city has multiple airports, searching all of them can reveal cheaper options. For example, if you're headed to New York, check JFK, Newark, and LaGuardia — prices can vary significantly between them. The key is to look at the total picture — not just individual flight prices, but the combined cost and timing for your entire group. That's exactly what Land Together helps you do.
