Key Takeaway:
Manual group pricing isn’t just outdated—it’s expensive. With airline costs rising and customer expectations higher than ever, one pricing error can mean lost revenue, angry passengers, and a damaged brand.
GroupRM’s AI-driven pricing engine fixes that, cutting errors, boosting revenue, and giving your team total control over every quote.
Picture this: a group organizer books 30 seats at a static fare, only to find out later they were overcharged. They vent their frustration online, and your team scrambles to respond.
Sound familiar? Manual pricing for group bookings is a minefield, leading to revenue leakage and unhappy customers. With airline operational costs up 25% since 2022, every pricing error hurts.
But there’s a better way—GroupRM’s AI and dynamic pricing can transform your revenue game.

The Hidden Cost of Pricing Errors
Static pricing and inaccurate demand are silent revenue killers. Web sources highlight that group booking errors—like underpricing or overbooking—cost airlines millions annually. These mistakes frustrate customers, who take to social media to complain. 35% of airline posts are negative, per studies. Your team spends time putting out fires instead of optimizing profits.
For revenue managers, manual pricing is a guessing game. Without real-time data, you might offer a low fare to fill seats, only to miss high-demand opportunities. Or worse, overbook and face angry groups.
These errors hit your bottom line and damage your reputation, a nightmare for Chief Revenue Officers and CFOs
