Can you arrange us online oneway tickets from Tianjin, in china at a concessionary price. Let me know your lowest possible rate please. Please let me know whether you give a free ticket when book more than 10 tickets.

Mr.Rabiee(Iran) replied:
I am afraid free ticket is not available but since there are 12 people in your group, you can apply for group tickets, which will be lower. For the price, you would better consult some booking agency, they can negotiate with the airlines and offer you a best price.
