Party Split
One expensive seat can reprice the group.
Probe visible fare buckets, allocate the lowest available seats first and see whether separate booking records create a meaningful saving.
Run the same flight search for 1, 2, 3… travelers and enter the quantities/prices you observe. Stop before booking.
3 safe bookings
All travelers remain on the same flight and each minor stays with an adult.
- 1
Book 1 adult · 1 minor at $142 each
$292 - 2
Book 2 adult · 1 minor at $179 each
$545 - 3
Book 1 adult · 0 minor at $228 each
$236
Trade-off priced in: $8 per-booking fees are included. Split bookings still create separate record locators; ask the airline to cross-reference them and never place a minor alone.
