Booking Group flights online

[roncritch]

I am trying to book flights to Cairns for my staff. Left it late and the flight BNE-CNS is affecting the price. There is sufficient for I class on the PER-BNE flight

There is 1 seat at I class which I an get for $1969 3 at D class which I can get for $2186 each and the other 2 I can get at C class for $2273. (confirmed by Flightstats)

If I try to make the 6 bookings online I only get a price of $2273 each. I can make 3 separate bookings but would like to have them all in the one.

Is there any other way of doing it? If I ring the booking line, will they break up the classes for me as above and will it only cost me 1 lot of $30 booking fee or 6 lots??

Thanks gurus I await your replies

Not an actual answer, but since you are WP, you could call the premium line and ask nicely .

Good story about this on AUSBT today describing this exact situation - I'd just do one booking at a time and each time you'll get cheapest fare come up.

Unfortunately there is no way to have different fare classes in the same PNR. Everyone has to be doing the same thing.

Book separately to get the best prices, then call QF to link/get seating done according to highest status pax...
