The most popular Qatar Airways destinations

Prices change with season, route and availability. The best way to see what's on offer for your dates is to run a search for four travellers and compare the results side by side.

How do I book return flights for four people?

Booking for a family takes a few minutes on CheapTickets.nl if you set things up in the right order.

1. Choose Return and enter your departure airport and destination.
2. Select your outbound and return dates.
3. Open the traveller selector and set the number of passengers to four. If anyone is a child or infant, set their passenger type here, because pricing rules differ by age. Our tips for flying with a baby or small child are worth a read before you travel.
4. Compare the results. Use the direct-flight filter if you want to avoid connections with children.
5. Check the final price screen before you pay.

Before you confirm, check this short list:

• The passenger count and passenger types are correct.
• Your return date and return airport match what you planned.
• The cabin class is the one you want.
• The baggage allowance is visible for every passenger.
• Any extras you've added, such as seats or additional bags, appear in the total.

If plans might shift, check the fare conditions for changes before you book. Questions about changes or your booking can go to CTNL's customer service team, which you can reach by phone, e-mail, chatbot or WhatsApp. The team includes IATA-qualified staff.

Price example: how to calculate the total for four

On CTNL airline pages, return fares are shown "per person, including taxes, excluding €29,90 booking fee." So the number you see in the results is the price for one traveller, taxes included, but without the booking fee.

For a family of four, the sum is simple: multiply the per-person fare by four, then add the booking fee. If you want to know why fares move around so much, we explain why the same flight can have different prices.

Here's an illustrative example. These figures are not a live fare, just a demonstration of the maths. Say the displayed return fare is €450 per person.

The final price screen is always the definitive figure. It shows exactly how the fee is applied to your booking, so check it before you pay.

Is the €29,90 booking fee per booking or per passenger?

The €29,90 booking fee is excluded from the displayed per-person fare. That matters for families, because a price that looks low per ticket needs the fee added before you can compare it with other options.

CTNL shows the fee as a separate line before payment, so you can see how it applies to your itinerary. Compare the total on that screen, not the headline fare, when you're weighing up different dates or airlines for all four of you.

Family checklist: baggage, seats together and child fares

A few minutes of checking here prevents the most common surprises.

Baggage

Allowances can differ between fares and between passengers, so check each traveller. Our guide to baggage on a plane explains what you can take. Extra bags add to the total, and four people adding one bag each can change which option is cheapest. CTNL shows baggage and extra services during booking, so look at them before you choose a fare.

Seats together

Seat allocation follows each airline's own rules. Where seat selection is offered, choose seats during or soon after booking, because families need adjacent seats and those go first. If seat selection carries a fee, add it to your total when comparing options.

Child and infant fares

Set passenger types correctly when you add travellers. Child and infant fares work differently from adult fares, and getting this wrong can cause problems later.

Return-trip planning

Check that your return flight leaves from the airport you arrive at, or that you've planned the transfer. If your route includes a stop, make sure the connection time is realistic with children and luggage. Confirm that every passport or ID is valid for your travel dates.

Money-saving tips for families booking return flights for four

Small differences per ticket add up quickly when you multiply by four. These habits help families planning a 2026 holiday keep the total down.

• Be flexible with dates. Moving your departure by a day or two, or avoiding peak school-holiday weekends, can change the total noticeably. Try nearby dates in your search and compare. Our 6 tips for booking the cheapest flight tickets go deeper.
• Compare nearby airports. If you live in the Netherlands, check results from more than one departure airport. A slightly longer trip to a different airport can be cheaper for four people, but add the cost of getting there to your comparison.
• Compare direct and one-stop options. A longer journey with a connection is sometimes cheaper. With children, weigh the saving against the extra travel time.
• Compare totals, not per-person fares. Add baggage, seats and the booking fee for all four travellers before you decide.
• Re-check before you pay. Fares are subject to availability and can change, so look at your chosen route again just before checkout.
• Keep one booking unless splitting clearly helps. Booking everyone together keeps your itinerary and seating simple. If you're tempted to split, compare the combined totals first.
