Some airlines allow a travel booker to pool the luggage allowance across an entire team.<\/p>\n This is particularly useful when you consider how much equipment sports teams usually travel with – extra kit, physio beds, medical devices, and more. In short, by consolidating the extra kilograms of baggage into one group travel booking, individual travellers don’t have to pay extra for bringing more bags.\u00a0<\/p>\n These savings aren’t trivial either as costs associated with excess baggage can be incredibly high. One of our clients had built an itinerary that required so much excess baggage that it cost in the region of \u00a320,000<\/strong>. Your TMC should help you work out excess baggage over individual allowances, whether it can be consolidated into a group booking, and then clear it all at the same time as booking seats.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”SECTION – #2 Book Seats On Flights The Moment They Go On Sale” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#efefef” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ admin_label=”ROW – #2 Book Seats On Flights The Moment They Go On Sale” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#efefef” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.gdg.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/WEBIMAGE-Rugby-Tackle-Team.jpg” title_text=”WEBIMAGE-Rugby-Tackle-Team” admin_label=”IMAGE – Ancillaries” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”HEADER – #2 Book Seats On Flights The Moment They Go On Sale” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_4_text_color=”#358f36″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”BODY -#2 Book Seats On Flights The Moment They Go On Sale” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” ol_font=”||||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n As the well-known proverb goes: “the early bird catches the worm”. This is especially true when it comes to Sports travel and booking flights – the earlier you secure your seats, the more likely you are to save money.<\/span><\/p>\n Most airlines list seats for sale 11 months prior to the scheduled flight<\/strong>. If possible, ensure that your travellers and\/or teams are confirmed for travel a year in advance so that when the seats go on sale you are in a position to swoop in and get the early deals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This is where a TMC can really add value. Most airlines (with the exception of low-cost carriers) will let TMCs hold seats for a period of time by paying a small deposit. Via this method, travel bookers do not need to confirm final passenger numbers or worry about submitting passenger names until a month in advance in many cases. Even after submitting names, a TMC like Gray Dawes can generally change them free of charge before the tickets are issued.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Essentially it doesn’t matter if you haven’t chosen your team; with the help of a TMC you can still book the flights!<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”SECTION – Sports Travel Stats” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_image=”https:\/\/www.gdg.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/BACKGROUND-Football-Pitch-Aerial.jpg” parallax=”on” parallax_method=”off” custom_margin=”-7px||-33px||false|false” custom_padding=”14px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row admin_label=”ROW – Sports Travel Stats” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”INTRO – Booking your travel at least 90 days in advance stats” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_text_color=”#FFFFFF” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ admin_label=”ROW – 90 Day Advance Booking Stat Circles” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_circle_counter title=”Savings on Domestic Flights” number=”52″ bar_bg_color=”#FFFFFF” circle_color=”#FFFFFF” admin_label=”90 Day Advance Booking Stat Circles (Domestic)” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#FFFFFF” title_font_size=”27px” background_layout=”dark” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_circle_counter][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_circle_counter title=”Savings on European Flights” number=”40″ bar_bg_color=”#FFFFFF” circle_color=”#FFFFFF” admin_label=”90 Day Advance Booking Stat Circles (EU)” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#FFFFFF” title_font_size=”27px” background_layout=”dark” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_circle_counter][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_circle_counter title=”Savings on International Flights” number=”38″ bar_bg_color=”#FFFFFF” circle_color=”#FFFFFF” admin_label=”90 Day Advance Booking Stat Circles (Intl.)” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#FFFFFF” title_font_size=”27px” background_layout=”dark” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_circle_counter][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”SECTION – #3 Submit Sporting Calendars” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#efefef” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ admin_label=”ROW – #3 Submit Sporting Calendars” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.gdg.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/WEBIMAGE-Sporting-Calendar.jpg” title_text=”WEBIMAGE-Sporting-Calendar” admin_label=”IMAGE – #3 Submit Sporting Calendars” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”HEADER – #3 Submit Sporting Calendars” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_4_text_color=”#358f36″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”BODY – #3 Submit Sporting Calendars” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Your sporting calendar is usually very predictable. Tournaments are scheduled and venues are booked years in advance, alongside all manner of sporting conferences, events, and meets that fill the seasons of sport.\u00a0<\/p>\n A good TMC with expertise in sports travel will ask you to send a copy of your sporting calendar so that they can assess your year(s) ahead and plan accordingly<\/strong>. This information is invaluable. It not only helps consultants to secure fares early (and more cheaply), it allows them to thoroughly analyse the location, lock down any on-the-ground logistics, and book accommodation long before it sells out.\u00a0<\/p>\n For British Swimming, one of our clients, coordinating calendars with our team of travel experts is one of the first things they do before the start of every season. This calendar allows us to see exactly where the swimmers need to be throughout the year, gives us the chance to understand their training and tournament schedule, and leaves us with time to ensure staff and athletes arrive at their destinations in good time and in the best possible shape.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”SECTION – #4 Maximise Your Travel Budget” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ admin_label=”IMAGE – #4 Maximise Your Travel Budget” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.gdg.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/WEBIMAGE-Professional-Cyclist-Mountains.jpg” title_text=”WEBIMAGE-Professional-Cyclist-Mountains” admin_label=”IMAGE – #4 Maximise Your Travel Budget” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”HEADER – #4 Maximise Your Travel Budget” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_4_text_color=”#358f36″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”BODY – #4 Maximise Your Travel Budget” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Take time to think more deeply about your travel budget and how it fits in with your objectives, not just for your organisation, but for your athletes and\/or team.
