Hello, we are a group of 10 teens (17-18 years) that we are going to travel ten or nine days to Prague next summer (13 to 23 June approximately), but we do not know how to organize the trip. We would like it to be cheap, as it is our last trip before university and the budget is small, and we would also like to party (in plan discos and pubs), in addition to go to museums etc. The problem is that on the internet most companies sell flights for 9 people maximum, and we are 10: (. Oh, and we would also like to be in an apartment well situated.

So, all in all, we want to know what we can do to travel the ten of us together by buying tickets together and if we can go to discos and parties in Prague with less than 18 years (half of us will be 17). Thank you very much.

Suggest you post on Lonely Planet's thorntree rather than here. Why do you want to buy your tickets together? You just need to wind up in the same city on the same date.

Beside the wisdom of making one big reservation; think of attrition and who would be left holding the bag, each airline has a special procedure for booking "groups", usually 10 or more with T&C different from individual bookings. You can easily look up what different airline alliances offer by googling "airline group rate."

Why can't you book separately? If you all decide to do it and do it well in advance, you should be able to get 10 seats easily.

The legal drinking age in Prague is 18. So if some pub/disco serves you, it would be illegal and they may not want to do that. However, from what I've heard, they aren't that rigorous in checking in Prague clubs/pubs if you look old enough. I'm not in the age gruop nor no first hand knowledge, so maybe some forum with people like that would know more. If you are just asking if you can get in, I think so, if it isn't one of those exclusive, posh places.

I think you're going to have difficulty renting an apartment. Most apartment owners will not want to let a group of teenagers stay unsupervised in their place. They'd certainly demand a large deposit for potential damages.

It would probably be better to contact a youth hostel and ask if you can rent a dorm room with enough beds for all of you.

Agree that most apartments will not rent to a bunch of teens at any price - even if you could find one large enough for 10 people. (And who knows how many of you will drop out between now and then).

Much better to stay in a good hostel in the center - so you can meet other young people and get info on clubs and bars - esp which might be willing to let in those under 18. (Have no clue on this - our younger DD went a couple of summers ago but she and friends were 18 and 19 so no problems). She did say there were quite a few student places with cheap beer - but you need to avoid any of the nicer places since drinks will be much more expensive.
