Bulk air ticket booking

I've a situation where I've to make an air booking for around 10 people on a return trip. I've never done a booking for more than 2 people at a time and know that some of the websites do not even support adding more than 6 people on a single PNR.

I've tried contacting an agent and they seem like they won't be able to give me a low price, even though it is 10 people I'm booking for, so I'm thinking of booking it myself using an OTA.

What would be the best way to go about it? The main things that I'm concerned about are

Getting all of them on the same PNR
If I try to book it 1/2 at a time, ticket pricing getting jacked up when the airline algorithm detects that there is some activity on the route that I'm booking.

Is there something that I can do to save some money on such a bulk booking?

Best Answer

Typically, the airline will give you better pricing for amounts over 10.

I recommend contacting the airline directly, to at least find out what they would offer; a usual offer is at least 1 in 20 free (=5%), up to 1 in 10 free (=10%).
