How do Groups Work on Aegean Airlines?
A person can take the initiative to submit a request of a quote on behalf of all the members. He or she will have to give his or her contact number and email ID. Now this person becomes the group applicant. He or she can make changes to the group booking on behalf of all the passengers. The group applicant will have to upload the names in a format acceptable to the airline.
You may find this a bit complicated. You can call the Aegean Airlines group travel phone number for assistance. A travel agent will handle uploading of names more efficiently. The airline may block the seats after the name upload is complete, but the group PNR will be given only when you make the entire payment for the group booking.
