Get a group discount
Going on vacation with a group can be an excellent idea, but getting a discount based on that group is an even better idea. Before you all start booking your flights for the cheapest rate you can find, look into getting a group discount rate.
Both Northwest Airlines and Southwest Airlines offer discounts for groups of ten or more. Southwest even offers an additional bonus if you’ve got 40 or more people in your group–one free ticket. This means you can fly free yourself if you’re willing to take on the challenge of organizing travel plans.
Group travel may bring to mind an image of older folks hopping on a bus tour, or college kids flying to the south for spring break. But keep your mind open when it comes to group travel. As long as you have the same itinerary the airlines consider you a group. Groups could mean a destination family reunion, you and a few other couples taking an island retreat, a bachelor or bachelorette party in Las Vegas, church group trips, or even sporting events. So before you hop on the bandwagon, take a survey of others who will be attending and see if you have enough people to qualify for a group discount, remember the more people the better the deal.

Do you happen to know what the Southwest discount is? 5, 10, 15, 20% or something like that?
