I attempted to reserve tickets for a Hanoi to Da Nang flight on a Vietnamese airline's website, but I was only able to purchase a maximum of 9 tickets, even though our group consisted of 12 people. I tried another website, but the same issue occurred. This question comes from a female customer in Hanoi and reflects a concern shared by many. To find the answer, please read the article below on Mytour.vn.
According to representatives from airlines, the 9-ticket limit has been a standard rule for many domestic and international airlines for a long time. There are two main reasons for this regulation.
First reason
Airlines limit the number of tickets - only up to 9 tickets can be booked at a time
Airlines set a limit on the number of tickets (only 9 tickets can be booked at a time) through online booking on the airline's website, travel agencies, or ticket offices to prevent harmful practices and unfair competition between airlines.
If airlines allowed passengers to book unlimited tickets, many people would exploit this by reserving large quantities of tickets (such as an entire plane or dozens/hundreds of tickets) at once without making payment. This would result in other passengers being unable to book seats despite demand, as the availability would only be a false illusion due to unconfirmed reservations.
Additionally, some customers exploit the system by reserving all the lower-priced seats, preventing genuine travelers from accessing discounted fares, leading to significant inconveniences.
Second reason
Airlines often offer special deals for bulk ticket purchases. When you book multiple tickets, you are likely to get a better price. Therefore, it's a good idea to directly contact the airline or its official authorized agents to get detailed information on group ticket prices and any available special offers (if applicable).
Some important tips when booking airline tickets for a group
For groups of 10 or more passengers, the airline will consider it as a group booking
- Professional airports reveal that if you're booking for yourself or a small group (5-6 people), you should only select a maximum of 2 tickets per online booking. This method will help you secure the best prices since airlines offer flexible pricing. There are limited seats for each class, and often, only 1-2 tickets are available at the time of booking.
- Generally, bookings for fewer than 10 people are considered individual tickets; for 10 or more, group tickets apply (with different conditions from individual tickets). This rule is standard across all airlines worldwide. Therefore, if you're looking to buy tickets for 10 or more people (including children), you should directly contact the airline's ticket office for the best assistance.
