Series Fare Flights — One Locked Price Across a Season

A series fare is an airline fare created when a consolidator purchases the same seats across a whole series of dates — for example 15 seats on every Friday flight from Delhi to Dubai for three months. The airline sells the block at one negotiated price, and every dated departure in the series inherits that locked fare. Series fares are the inventory behind most fixed departure flights.

What makes a series fare different

  • One price covers the entire series, fixed at purchase time — live fare movements do not touch it.
  • Seats come from a dedicated allocation with confirmed PNRs, so ticketing is instant.
  • The fare usually undercuts live prices in peak season, when airlines price dynamic inventory highest.
  • Rules are stricter: series tickets are typically non-refundable and name changes are limited.

Series fare vs group fare

A series fare is bought in advance across many dates and sold seat by seat to anyone. A group fare is negotiated on request for one specific booking of 10 or more passengers on one date. If your travellers are flexible on dates, a series fare is usually cheaper and confirms instantly; if you need one specific flight for a large party, request a group fare.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a series fare in air travel?
A series fare is a negotiated price for the same block of seats purchased across a whole series of dates, such as every weekend departure for a season. The price is fixed when the block is bought, and each dated departure sells from its own confirmed seat allocation.
What is the difference between a series fare and a group fare?
A series fare is purchased in advance across many dates and sold to individual travellers seat by seat. A group fare is negotiated with the airline for one specific booking of ten or more passengers on one date. Series fares confirm instantly from pre-blocked seats; group fares are confirmed after the airline accepts the request.
Are series fares refundable or changeable?
Series fares usually carry stricter rules than published fares: most are non-refundable, and date or name changes are limited or chargeable. The exact fare rules are shown before payment on JourneyDeal.
Why do travel agents use series fares?
Because the price is locked, an agent can quote a customer today and still honour the same fare days later, which is impossible with dynamic live fares. Confirmed PNRs also mean instant ticketing with no waitlist risk.

Best fare and a real person to help
I compared a few sites and Offline Booking had the lowest fare on Mumbai–Dubai. What I loved most was being able to call and have someone confirm the booking for me. E-ticket came in seconds.
