What is a group purchase airline ticket?
Group purchasing refers to purchasing goods together at a lower price than the original price.
The same goes for group-purchased airline tickets. The difference between group-purchased and group-purchased airline tickets is that you do not need to purchase them jointly, but you can purchase them separately from a travel agency.

Group purchase airline tickets with discounts of up to 74%
Group-purchased airline tickets are airline tickets purchased in advance for group travelers at a low price by travel agencies such as Mode Tour and Hana Tour. If no one buys such a generous amount of airline tickets, they are simply thrown away. So, it can be seen that the travel agency is offering the remaining air tickets at a large discount under the name of ‘group purchase air tickets.’
At Modetour, these special price airline tickets are called group-purchased airline tickets, and at Hana Tour, they are called last-minute airline tickets.
Below is a price comparison between general reservation sites and group purchase tickets for the same itinerary.

Precautions when purchasing airline tickets
It’s cheap, but there are cancellation fees and changes are difficult. There are some things that cannot be canceled, but if you make a mistake, there may be a risk of additional deductions.
Detailed regulations vary by travel agency, so below we will take a closer look at what you need to check before making a reservation.
1. Refund penalty after ticket issuance
You may not receive a 100% refund for group-purchased or missed tickets even if you cancel immediately after issuance. Before you press the reservation button and secure a ticket just because it’s cheap, you should check the cancellation policy. Cancellation policies may vary by ticket, airline, and travel agency.
Airfare regulations, Refund penalty after ticket issuance: 130,000 won
If you cancel after ticketing, penalty fees may apply.
As with the fare rules for group purchase tickets above, penalties may apply even if you cancel immediately after ticket issuance. If a penalty is applied even if the amount is more than 100,000 won, it is a large amount, so you must be careful when making a reservation.
2. No-show penalty
Explain that additional deductions will occur in case of no-show
The additional 240,000 won is sad.
If you do not cancel your flight or do not board after checking in, not only will you not receive a refund, but you may also be subject to additional deductions. Since additional deductible costs can be equal to or exceed the cost of accommodation, jointly purchased or special airline tickets must be used only for boarding purposes.
3. No change
Penalty Rule, cannot be changed
Departure date and return date cannot be changed
In addition to refund penalties, date changes for group-purchased tickets and missed tickets are often not possible. It is necessary to check whether you can select a seat at the time of reservation and whether you can change a ticket to the same destination, as these may vary depending on the airline and ticket.
Group Purchase Airline Ticket FAQ
1. Are group-purchased tickets and missed tickets the same?
Group-purchased airline tickets and last-minute tickets have the same special price. You can think of Modetour offering group-purchased airline tickets as discounted tickets, while Hana Tour offers discounted airline tickets.
To use a group purchase airline ticket, do I need to make a reservation with my friends?
Group purchasing does not necessarily require more than a certain number of people to make reservations at the same time. In some cases, there is a minimum departure number, but individuals do not have to meet that minimum number. You can make individual reservations and depart once the minimum number of people is met. The minimum number of people is usually 2 people.
Hana Tour’s last-minute tickets may also have a minimum number of departure passengers. It is also important to check that the minimum number of people is met before making a reservation.
2. How long before departure can I purchase a group ticket?
Group purchase airline tickets can usually be purchased 3-4 weeks in advance. Reservations can be made up to 2 months in advance. Unless your travel plans are made suddenly, you can reserve cheap airline tickets if you check regularly to see if there are group-purchased airline tickets for the date you want, two months in advance.

In the long run, if travel agencies purchase group tickets at low prices and the airlines feel that the tickets are relatively expensive, people will not purchase plane tickets from the airlines.
However, since Modetour and Hana Tour are currently selling group purchase airline tickets, those who are aware of these benefits can use them wisely and travel at a lower price.
