Remote work is great.
Until it’s time to get everyone in the same room.
Quarterly offsite? Strategic planning retreat? The big team-building bash?
You’ve got 15 people in 10 cities... and suddenly you’re part-time Head of Flight Logistics.
Don't worry. We got you.
Here’s how to coordinate flights for your entire remote team like a pro — without the stress, spreadsheet chaos, or 2 a.m. seat maps.
🚨 Step 1: Stop Letting Everyone Book Their Own Flights
This sounds “efficient.”
It’s not.
You’ll end up with:
- 9 arrival times
- 6 different airlines
- Someone flying into the wrong airport (yes, it happens)
- And absolutely zero control when things go sideways
Instead, centralize it.
Use a platform built for group corporate travel — like AllFly’s Quest — to handle all the moving pieces in one place.
🧠 Step 2: Book Like a CFO (Plan Ahead)
Last-minute booking is where travel budgets go to die.
If you're booking flights 7 days before the event, you're paying 35–50% more. (Yeah, we ran the numbers.)
Give yourself at least:
- 60–90 days for domestic
- 90+ days for international or peak season
Lock in prices. Guarantee availability. Sleep at night.
✍️ Step 3: Pick an Arrival Window
You don’t want one team member landing at 8 a.m. and another rolling in at midnight.
Pick a 2–3 hour window and coordinate arrivals.
Why it matters:
- One shuttle pickup instead of 5 Ubers
- Easier team welcome
- Less dead time (aka bored employees killing hours in the lobby)
🧳 Step 4: Embrace (Some) Flexibility
Remote teams = chaos magnets.
Someone will miss their connection.
Someone will cancel.
Someone will realize their passport expired in 2019.
With AllFly’s group booking platform, you can:
- Change names on tickets
- Add new travelers after booking
- Pay in installments (yes, seriously)
Flexibility costs a little more, but it saves your neck when things go sideways.
🌍 Step 5: Use Multi-City Coordination (The Right Way)
Booking 12 individual flights from 8 cities is a logistical nightmare.
With Quest by AllFly, you get:
- One single quote for your entire team
- Fare comparisons across departure cities
- A dedicated flight concierge (aka your new favorite person)
Think of it as control + efficiency + zen.
📲 Step 6: Communicate Like a Travel Pro
Don’t let itineraries live in Slack purgatory.
Create a central hub with:
- Flight confirmations
- Arrival/departure times
- Ground transportation details
- Emergency contact info
Bonus: Drop it into a shared Google Doc or Notion page your team already uses.
🛠️ Step 7: Use a Platform Built for This
AllFly’s Quest was made for companies that fly teams out to meet IRL.
It handles everything:
✅ Booking and quotes
✅ Multi-origin coordination
✅ Expense tracking
✅ Name changes
✅ 24/7 support
Oh, and it looks better than Concur. (We said what we said.)
💰 Real Talk: You’ll Probably Save Money
Here’s the secret: group airfare isn’t always the cheapest, but it’s the smartest.
You’re not just paying for a seat. You’re paying for:
- Locked-in pricing
- Less risk
- Zero coordination headaches
And if that means a $20 difference? Worth it.
👋 TL;DR
If you’re flying a remote team to one location, here’s the move:
- Don’t DIY
- Plan ahead
- Use a smart platform like AllFly
- Coordinate like a boss
- Sleep easy
No spreadsheets. No stress. Just smooth landings.
