American Airlines is one of several major airlines that offer discounted group rates and services to make corporate travel and incentive travel packages more convenient and affordable. For example, if you make a reservation for 10 or more passengers, your travel participants can bypass the long lines at ticket counters to enjoy individual check in at self service machines. When planning meeting travel or incentive travel for more than 10 travelers, your company will also benefit from low-rate fare zones and low group fares. For groups traveling to the same destination for meetings or corporate events, travel planners can book reservations up to 11 months in advance, securing a block space and low-rate fare at that time.
To make the travel planners job even easier, American Airlines offers flexibility in planning, such as allowing one name change per ticket, waiving the minimum stay, waiving the normally required Saturday-night stay, and names and ticketing 21 days prior to your departure day. Discounts on fares for domestic zones generally range from 40-60% of full Coach fares and are valid for travel to the Caribbean, the Pacific, Latin America, Europe and North America that originates in either Canada or the United States.
The best way to obtain fares for meeting travel or future-date pricing to determine travel expenses is to contact the American Airlines Group and Meeting Travel Desk at 1-800-221-2255.
