Introduction: As an efficient means of transportation, the aircraft is favored by many passengers, but the air ticket price is often higher than other means of transportation. Therefore, how to find special air tickets to buy has become a problem that travel enthusiasts often face. Today I will share various ways to buy special air tickets.
01. Choose travel off-season
The previous article has given special explanations for this part. I will repeat it here and make some supplements.
Travel is divided into off-season and peak season. domestic travel is about March to April, May, before the student holiday in June, September and October before the Lunar New Year (except for various holidays). foreign travel is different for each country.
Air tickets with lower discounts are usually more expensive in the off-season . You can book a lower discount ticket about 15-30 days before departure in China, depending on different cities. Sometimes you can book a lower discount ticket around 7 days before departure, because during the off-season, there are still seats on some airlines that are not sold, so they will be sold at a lower price, which is usually rare during peak seasons. A large part of the special flights for
are red-eye flights (mainly departing in the early morning), but during the off-season, you can find many normal flights. You should look for them more. In addition to avoiding the phenomenon of killing
APP in the previous article, you can also try to search and book on the official websites of each airline.
02. Choose the airport near you to
flights from different locations sometimes have a very different price . For example, to the same destination, the air ticket prices from Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macau are all different, and some are even more than 50%. Therefore, when looking for air tickets, you can find more from other neighboring areas.
But if you choose to leave at a nearby airport, you should consider more time to arrive at the airport and prepare in advance. If you have not been to the place yet, you can also consider visiting there for a day and choosing to set off the next day, so there will be more time.
03. Understand the promotion dates of each airline
Each airline will regularly release some low-priced discounted air tickets, usually for members, so remember to register a member in advance. Below is a summary of some commonly used airline discount schedules. You can refer to it:
China Southern Airlines : On the 28th of each month, member ticket discount
Spring Airlines : will have about four promotions every year, the time is uncertain, the 9th of each month is not fixed, the 15th of each month is Japan online promotion, and the 27th of each month will be held. Member day promotion
AirAsia : February to March: The promotion period is for air tickets from September this year to next year's Spring Festival (including November, excluding Spring Festival); May: The promotion period is for air tickets from October or November this year to next year's Spring Festival (including Spring Festival); July to September: The promotion period is for air tickets from February to May or to September next year; November to December: The promotion period is for air tickets from June to December next year (including November). There are different levels of small promotions for Mondays
Hong Kong Express: There are 50% off promotions every weekend, and there will be different small promotions for every month
Xiangpeng Airlines : 15:30 pm every Thursday pm 3
Shock Airlines : 7:00-9:00
China United Airlines : 8 yuan tickets per Friday
Cathay Airlines : 1.00 pm every Tuesday
Cathay Airlines : 1.00 pm every Tuesday
China Eastern Airlines : There are irregular flash promotions every month and week
Cebu Airlines : There is a big promotion from February to March every year; a small promotion from September to October
China International Airlines : day and the same day of the same month (such as: February 2, March 3, April 4), member discount day
Sichuan Airlines : Quote 19, member ticket promotion and mileage redemption
or above are only a small part. More discount dates can be found at relevant travel websites.
04. Choose a travel agency air ticket + hotel package
Some travel agencies have the above packages. Unlike group tours, these packages generally only include air tickets, hotel accommodation, and pick-ups between the airport and the hotel, and there is no tour guide accompanying you. Because the number of passengers collected by the travel agency is proportional to the number of special air tickets given to the travel agency by the airline, large travel agencies will launch this package in order to ensure the number of special air tickets. Therefore, it is cost-effective and can be considered appropriately.
Of course, if you have friends from a travel agency, you can help get special air tickets, that's the best. Because most of the special air tickets are in the hands of travel agencies.
05. Choose the joint ticket
Some airlines cooperate with each other, especially local airlines, so their joint tickets may have discounts . For example, you have to leave from Guangzhou to Kunming and then transfer to Lijiang. These two itineraries are from different airlines. If these two companies have discounts on joint tickets, it is generally much cheaper than airlines without joint tickets. There are generally strict regulations for
joint flight tickets. If you give up flights on the first section, you cannot take for flights on the second section. When checking for the second section of flights, you must present the boarding pass for the first section of flights. Pay attention to this.
Supplement:
If you want to pursue the cheapest price, you can consider low-cost airline , but is not recommended. First, because low-cost airline does not have a free luggage checkout limit, it will be very expensive if you purchase it when checking in. You must purchase it in advance on shopping platforms such as Taobao X and Pin XX. Secondly, there is basically no service throughout the process, no free meals, and all value-added services are charged. Third, many of them are advertised throughout the process, and it is difficult to rest on the plane. Therefore, whether to choose a low-cost airline can be considered according to your own needs.
