10 seats, or 6 for sports
United Groups
Standard groups start at ten on one flight. Sports teams have a narrower door at six — same flight, United-operated, and only in a defined region.
- Groups of ten or more on a common flight to a common destination: special pricing, a guaranteed fare, and name-change flexibility under the ticketing agreement.
- Sports teams of six or more on the same flight, for sports-related travel on United-operated flights within the U.S., to or from Puerto Rico, and to or from Canada.
- Sports names and ticketing are due within 24 hours of booking (not including Saturday or Sunday). One free name change per passenger until the day before departure.
Before you count on it. A family of eight is not a United group unless they are a qualifying sports team of at least six. Everyone else waits for ten seats.
