AirAsia group booking — straightforward from quote to travel

For teams, schools or large families, group booking lets you hold seats while you finalise names and payments. Below we explain how pricing is built, what deadlines matter, and how to avoid last-minute stress.

Who qualifies & why groups are different

  • 10+ passengers on the same routing and dates usually qualify.
  • Seats are held while you gather documents and funding.
  • One itinerary and one point of contact instead of juggling many PNRs.
  • More flexible name policy than regular tickets (within deadlines).

How the quote is built

  1. You submit routes/dates/pax split (adults/students/infants) and any baggage needs.
  2. The airline returns a per-person fare + taxes, a seat-hold period and a deposit amount.
  3. Final price can change if you reduce seats or miss deadlines, so plan conservatively.

Seating & baggage strategy

Scenarios (Malaysia-focused)

School trip KUL–BKI–KUL (30 students + 4 teachers)

Ask for 34 seats outbound and return, specify date flexibility of ±1 day, and request two 15-seat blocks plus a 4-seat chaperone block near the wings. Submit names 3 weeks out to allow for last-minute student changes.

Amateur sports team with oversized equipment

Pre-declare equipment (golf/surf/bikes) to include it in the quote. On the day, arrive early for oversize drop and bring protective covers.

Mixed origin family reunion

If travellers depart from different cities, separate quotes per routing may be simpler than one giant group.

Contract fine print to read

Hand-off on travel day

Assign a tour leader to collect passports, distribute boarding passes, and handle any re-seating. Keep digital and printed copies of the contract, quote, and payment receipts in case of disruption.
