Group & meeting travel

Conferences, team trips, competitions and retreats, with every traveler, room and ride accounted for.

Getting one person somewhere is booking. Getting forty people there at the same time is a project, and it's one our Athens corporate travel team takes on regularly.

What we handle

  • Group air contracts, deposits and name changes
  • Hotel room blocks and meeting space
  • Buses, shuttles and airport transfers
  • Name lists, ID checks and rooming lists
  • A single itinerary everyone can follow
  • Rebooking when weather or delays hit the whole group

Good for

Conferences and association meetings, board retreats, sales meetings, athletic and academic competitions, school trips, and international events that bring people in from several countries.

Start earlier than you think

Group air and hotel blocks get harder to find as dates get closer. For international or large groups, we like to start nine to twelve months out. Our group travel planning timeline walks through each stage.

School and university groups also benefit from our education and public-sector travel experience. Groups going overseas get international travel support for every traveler.

Common questions

How many people make a group?

Airlines usually treat ten or more travelers as a group, but we'll coordinate any trip where people need to arrive and leave together.

Can travelers fly from different cities?

Yes. We regularly coordinate groups arriving from several cities, and several countries, to one event.

What happens if someone drops out?

It depends on the airline's and hotel's group terms. We'll explain them before you sign and help with name changes when they come up.
