British Airways group quotes: choose the right regional timetable

What this answer depends on

• New BA group contracts; UK/Ireland versus North America; adult group organizer before issuance.
• The page defines a group as six or more travelers in First or ten or more in other cabins, excluding infants under two.
• The UK/Ireland schedule normally calls for the balance eight weeks before departure, while the North American schedule places full payment and names 30 days before departure; closer bookings have accelerated requirements.
• Pre-issuance name changes are described as free, but itineraries including other airlines require names at least 30 days before departure.
• The names deadline and payment deadline serve different purposes. A group may have collected enough money without having every traveler’s final details, or may have a complete passenger list without authority to pay. Track those obligations separately instead of labeling the whole project “booked.” A partner segment is another reason to settle the applicable timetable before collecting commitments.
• For an agency-created group booking, submit passenger information to that agency and use its contract. A direct BA group offer and the agency’s own service terms should not be blended into an undocumented hybrid.
