Big Group Trip to Spain
 
Hello Everyone!

I am trying to plan a trip for about 9 - 10 people to Barcelona, Spain. Does anyone know if there are flight deals for big groups, or cheaper rates? Would it be wise to go through a traveling agency or just individually searching online?

Thanks!

I think the eighth person flies free. I do not know from where you are flying but from NYC Delta, Iberia, Air France, AA, and Continental that fly non-stop to Barcelona.

Call and see what they say and the best way to orgdanize it and check in etc.

AA used to have group rates - don't know if they still do but imagine they might. All must fly together on the same itinerary.
