Quick answer

To book a Korean Air group ticket, call a group reservations specialist at +1 (888) 217-2892 (24/7). A “group” is 10 or more passengers traveling together on the same flights and dates. You’ll request a group fare quote, place a deposit to hold the seats, submit the passenger name list by the name deadline, pay the balance by the payment deadline, then receive ticketed e-tickets. Online booking caps a reservation at 9 passengers, so groups must go through the group desk by phone. Korean Air’s official customer-service line is 1-800-438-5000 for flight status, refunds, baggage, and check-in.

What counts as a Korean Air group booking?

Korean Air defines a group as 10 or more passengers traveling together on the same itinerary — the same flights, cabin, origin, destination, and dates. With 9 or fewer travelers, you book as individuals. With 10 or more, you qualify for a negotiated group fare and dedicated support.

Korean Air group travel commonly serves:

• School trips, university programs, and study-abroad groups (with chaperone seating)
• Corporate travel, conferences, incentive trips, and delegations
• Sports teams and athletic delegations (with equipment handling)
• Tour groups and travel-agency packages
• Destination weddings, family reunions, and multi-generational trips
• Religious, mission, and congregation groups

Not sure if your party qualifies? Call +1 (888) 217-2892 and a specialist will confirm in minutes.

 

Why Korean Air groups must be booked by phone (not online)

Group reservations are handled differently from individual tickets, which is why they go through the group desk:

Reason	What it means for you
Website caps at 9 passengers	koreanair.com and the app can’t ticket 10+ travelers in one reservation.
Group fares aren’t published online	Group pricing is negotiated by headcount, route, and season — not the public web fare.
Names later, not now	You can hold seats with a deposit and submit the full name list by a deadline.
Deposit + staggered payment	An agent manages your deposit and final-payment schedule.
Group tickets can’t be cancelled online	Changes and cancellations are handled by the group desk or your agent.

 

One note on price: with individual online tickets the cheapest fare buckets sell out first, so later travelers in a large party often pay more. A group fare keeps everyone on one stable, coordinated price instead.

How to book a Korean Air group ticket, step by step

1. Call the group desk

Dial +1 (888) 217-2892 (24/7) and say you want a group reservation for 10 or more passengers traveling together.

2. Give your trip details

Origin, destination, travel dates (or a flexible range), cabin (Economy, Prestige Class, or First), passenger count, and group type (school, corporate, sports, tour, wedding, religious).

3. Receive your group fare quote

The specialist returns a negotiated group fare with the fare rules, deposit amount, name-submission deadline, and final-payment deadline. Quotes are valid for a limited window; flexible dates usually lower the fare.

4. Place the deposit to hold seats

Accept the quote and pay a per-passenger deposit (or full payment, depending on route/dates) to lock the seats and the price. Inventory isn’t guaranteed until the deposit is in.

5. Submit the passenger name list

You don’t need every name on day one. Provide full legal names matching passports, dates of birth, and contacts by the name deadline.

6. Pay the balance and ticket

Pay the remaining balance by the payment deadline. Once names and payment are complete, the booking is ticketed and e-tickets are issued to the group leader.

7. Arrange seats, meals & requests

Coordinate seating together, special meals, wheelchair/assistance needs, and any add-ons before ticketing where possible.

Group fares vs. published online fares

A group fare is not always cheaper per seat than the lowest promo web fare, but it gives a large party price stability, held inventory, deadline flexibility, and dedicated support.

Feature	Group fare (10+ pax)	Published online fare (1–9)
Where you book	Group desk / phone	Website, app, or phone
Pricing	Negotiated; same fare for the group	Dynamic; can rise as seats sell
Names at booking	Submit later by deadline	Required at checkout
Hold seats without full payment	Yes — via deposit	No
Seat coordination	Easier through the group desk	Limited across separate bookings
Best for	10+ traveling together	1–9 travelers

 

Deposits, name deadlines & payment deadlines

Deposit requirements

A per-passenger deposit (or full payment, depending on route and season) holds your seats and locks the fare. Deposits are often non-refundable or partially restricted — confirm before paying. Major credit cards are typically accepted, and some channels allow staggered or corporate payment.

Name-submission deadline

You can hold group seats before finalizing names. The agent gives a firm name deadline, after which names must exactly match passports. Name changes are generally allowed before ticketing and restricted after ticketing, so submit accurate names the first time.

Final-payment deadline

After the deposit, a final-payment deadline applies. Miss it and your seats may be released and the price lost. Put both the name and payment deadlines on your calendar the day you book. Exact day-counts vary by route and contract — always confirm in writing.

Changes & cancellation rules for group bookings

• Group tickets generally cannot be cancelled on koreanair.com — call the group desk or your travel agent.
• Name changes/corrections are easier before ticketing and usually restricted after ticketing.
• Dropping a few passengers is often allowed before the ticketing deadline (you may forfeit those deposits); falling below 10 can void the group contract.
• Deposits are typically non-refundable, and cancellation penalties rise the closer you get to departure.
• Even on non-refundable fares, government taxes and some charges may be refundable — ask.
• Group fares carry their own rules that can override the standard 24-hour cancellation window — confirm at booking.

Need to change or cancel a group booking? Call +1 (888) 217-2892, or Korean Air’s official line 1-800-438-5000.

 

Seating and baggage for group travel

Group seating

The group desk can work to seat your party together, subject to aircraft layout and availability. Arrange seating early — especially for chaperones near minors, families, and corporate teams — and ideally before ticketing.

Group baggage

Group passengers receive the standard Korean Air baggage allowance for their cabin and route (transpacific Economy is typically 2 checked bags, with Prestige and First higher; some promotional group fares may restrict baggage — confirm on your contract). SKYPASS elite members (Morning Calm, Morning Calm Premium, Million Miler) and SkyTeam Elite Plus travelers may receive extra allowance. For sports gear or instruments, arrange oversized/excess baggage with the desk in advance.

What to have ready before you call

• Passenger count (10+) — estimate slightly high; it’s easier to drop seats than add them later
• Origin and destination airports (e.g., LAX, JFK, SFO, ATL, ICN)
• Travel dates, exact or flexible (flexibility lowers fares)
• Cabin class — Economy, Prestige Class, or First (mixed cabins possible for VIPs)
• Group type and the group leader’s name, email, and phone
• Special requests — meals, wheelchair/assistance, children/infants, seating needs

You don’t need every passenger’s name to start — names come by the name deadline.

SkyTeam, the ICN hub & the 2026 Korean Air–Asiana merger

Korean Air is the flag carrier of South Korea and a founding member of the SkyTeam alliance, with its main hub at Incheon International Airport (ICN), Terminal 2 — an efficient connecting point for groups traveling onward across Asia. Travelers can add their SKYPASS numbers, though deeply discounted group fares may earn reduced or no miles. Premium groups can request Prestige Class (business) for leaders. Korean Air also operates a transpacific joint venture with Delta Air Lines.

Merger note: the integrated Korean Air–Asiana carrier officially launches on December 17, 2026, creating one of the world’s largest airlines and expanding routes and ICN capacity. For group travel near that date, confirm the operating carrier and flight numbers for every segment.
