Group travel is easier when one person coordinates the shared plan and everyone can see the important details. Start with travel dates, approximate group size, budget and individual needs, then compare flight fares, hotel stays and transport before confirming activities.
Agree dates and individual requirements
Make a list of each traveller's arrival and departure dates, airport, baggage and preferred room arrangement. Identify children and their ages when requesting rooms or activities. Ask travellers to share accessibility or dietary needs directly with the organiser or provider if they wish. Entry requirements can vary; check official guidance and airline requirements for each person.
Compare group flights carefully
Check the departure and arrival airports, itinerary, baggage, seat availability, passenger names and change conditions. Listed fares and seats are subject to confirmation. If people arrive on different flights, plan pickups around actual arrival times rather than assuming the entire group will land together.
Build a rooming plan
Agree how many rooms are needed and who will share each room. Confirm occupancy limits, child arrangements, bedding, accessible room features and meals with the hotel. Compare the total price and cancellation policy for each selected room. A rooming list helps the team check the correct combinations.
Choose the right transport
Count adults, children, infants, suitcases, strollers and equipment before selecting a vehicle. Confirm child seats or accessible transport in advance if required. Ask about the meeting point, waiting time, tolls, parking, extra stops and the final price. If arrivals are spread across different airports or times, separate pickups may be more practical.
Plan activities with breathing room
Choose activities the group actually wants and check each option's age, access and cancellation conditions. Leave time for meals, rest and transport, and avoid stacking several distant timed bookings. Review the city tour options and pre-travel checklist while building the itinerary.
