This article was first published on my Douban Chan Chung. It is a technical and practical post that summarizes personal experience. It is not professional, but practical.
has entered the pit of travel, and we have to start from Beijing three years ago.
Shenzhen is a season with no distinction in all seasons. What’s more, it is often the temperature of 29 degrees in November and February. At that time, I heard that the first snow was coming from all over the north, and I was so envious.
coincides with the transformation of China United Airlines to make low-cost airlines. No one knows the first major promotion. All routes are 88 yuan per trip. My friend and I easily sent two sets of Shenzhen and Beijing round trips of 276 yuan (continuous tax) and got what we wanted.
happened to catch up with heavy snow, and it also realized the wish of Guangdong people to watch the snow. I still remember when I woke up that morning, the streets were covered with snow. I had been struggling with whether to hold an umbrella on the road for a long time.
There is no longer annihilation of the Forbidden City manual ticket sales
climbing up Jingshan Park to look at the panoramic view of the Forbidden City
0 When I returned to Shenzhen, the snow was getting heavier and heavier. Seeing that the situation was not good, it happened that WeChat delay insurance had just been launched. The kind of person who delayed one minute and sent red envelopes directly, I immediately bought two delay insurances. In the end, I lost a total of 500 for three hours, with a net profit of 224.
With this experience, I couldn't put down my special air tickets. I just went to major OTA platforms while I had nothing to do and followed major airlines on WeChat and Weibo. In order to wait for the next bargain airline ticket, I also opened a public account "Take You Fly" to share special air tickets, which was officially a trap!
00 special air tickets I have bought over the years, but I have not left Southeast Asia so far haha!
Search of some air tickets
Next, let me reiterate that paying attention to special air tickets is purely an amateur interest. The following content is summarized based on your own experience, mainly focusing on special tickets from the Pearl River Delta, coordinated to Shenzhen. It is convenient to fly from Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Jieyang , just toss a little bit.
What is the difference between low-cost airlines and traditional airlines?
1. The cheap air tickets usually do not include checked baggage and airplane meals, except for some low-cost airlines. For example, the international line of Spring Airlines includes hand-held + checked baggage totaling no more than 15KG.
2. Most of the low-cost flights are red-eye flights, flying in the early morning. It requires a lot of energy to consume, but using time well can save time for the trip.
3. Tickets cannot be refunded in low-cost airlines. Even if they are refunded, they can only refund taxes or other surcharges, and the refund period may be very long.
4. Integrated airlines usually operate small aircraft, such as the Airbus 320, which are commonly left and right three rows, with limited space in front and rear seats, which are relatively crowded.
How to get information about special air tickets?
1. Email subscription. Almost all airlines can enter their email to subscribe to promotional emails on their official websites, and they are eager to send them to you every day.
2. Follow the airline’s Weibo and WeChat official accounts. Usually, airlines will warm up and promote on social platforms in advance.
3. The way to spend time is to hang out on forums and websites such as E Travel Network and Travel Radar, and they are professional.
4. If you are lazy, follow my official account "Take You Fly". I will post it if it is worth it~
6. Take a chance and pay attention to the lottery activities of each company (it will be discussed later).
There are many airlines that cannot be taken care of in full. Please focus on choosing a few airlines that I am familiar with.
Low-cost airline
. Hong Kong Express
looks very tempting, right? However, the return trip is just the basic fare is 0, and the taxes and fees are usually hundreds of. Low-cost airlines like to play this routine, but it is much lower than the taxes and fees that are often thousands of in mainland airlines.
Hong Kong Express is a local low-cost flight in Hong Kong, operating routes from Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Saipan and other places.I seem to have started paying attention when I was in the process of fast-moving operation and low-cost airlines. In the past, there were often big promotions such as 1 yuan, 8 yuan, 11 yuan, 38 yuan, etc., but I haven't seen them much recently. They basically start at 118 yuan (all without taxes and fees).
Waypoints: Hong Kong, Taichung, Hualien, Nha Trang , Da Nang , Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai , Bouji, Ishigaki Island , Busan , Jeju , Seoul, Siem Reap , Hiroshima, Takamatsu, Deer Kojima , Fukuoka , Nagoya , Tokyo Haneda, Tokyo Narita, Osaka, Ningbo , Wuxi, Kunming, Saipan
Promotional gameplay: one-way 1 HKD, 11 HKD, 38 HKD, 68 HKD, 88 HKD, 118 HKD; buy the trip and get the return trip; buy one get one get one get the same; 20% off for two people, etc.
Nowadays, the promotional price
The previous express special air tickets are really cheap, round trip taxes: Taichung HK$469, Chiang Mai/Phoi Kyung HK$506, Tokyo/Nagoya HK$517, Siem Reap HK$479, Seoul HK$539, Osaka HK$548.
Promotional Price Reference
Promotional Rules:
Weekly promotion: You can buy special tickets that are departing in the past six months
Occasional big promotion: One-way without taxes of 11, 38 Hong Kong dollars, etc., mainly for forward air tickets from half a year to one year, the cheapest price
Occasionally flash promotion: is limited to 24 hours of promotion, limited to departure for the past month, the price is also very cheap
Flying in Taichung is usually very cheap, HKD 526 here does not include consignment, you can buy
Hong Kong to and from Chiang Mai, with a tax of HKD 662 (excluding consignment)
. Air Asia
My first overseas trip and first flight experience are dedicated to AirAsia. AirAsia has won Skytrax 10 times the world's best low-cost airline, and the experience is really good. AirAsia uses Kuala Lumpur as its base, and its route covers Southeast Asia. Many people take AirAsia for the first time to Thailand and Malaysia .
Waypoints: (there are many ways, mainly listing direct domestic-Southeast Asia flights)
China: Hong Kong, Macao, Changsha, Hangzhou, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Chengdu, Kunming, Xi'an, Nanjing, Wuhan, Nanning, Guilin , Jieyang/Shantou
Thailand: Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket , Pattaya
Malaysia: Kuala Lumpur, Kota Kinabalu , Johor Bahru, langkawi,
Philippines: Manila , Cebu
Promotional rules:
Quarterly big promotion: has four big promotions every year, the travel time is half a year to one year later, the price is low, and there are usually several 0 yuan routes.
regular small promotions: countless, there are countless, every week, every month, and occasionally there will be 20% off codes and other superimposed promotions.
launch promotion: new launch promotion is usually the lowest price for this route, or nearly 0 yuan (excluding tax).
Thailand route promotion price, for reference
Kuala Lumpur route promotion price, for reference
Philippines route promotion price, for reference
AirAsia promotion usually releases several 0 yuan routes (excluding taxes and fees, but AirAsia taxes are also very low, two or three hundred yuan is a must), and 0 yuan routes are generally in South China, such as Nanning = Pattaya, Jieyang/Shantou = Bangkok, Macau = Pattaya, etc.
AirAsia's big promotion is mainly due to the large number of tickets. It is usually easier to buy tickets together by a group of friends. Secondly, it may cover short holidays, such as Dragon Boat Festival and Qingming Festival.
In addition, there are regular small promotions every week. Don’t underestimate small promotions. Occasionally, the price is lower than the big promotions. When a new route is opened, there will usually be a reserve price. For example, Shenzhen = Kuching, the starting price is 300 yuan, and it is a New Year's Eve holiday.
I regretted not buying it at that time.
Sometimes there may be surprises! For example, in the past two days, AirAsia has launched an unprecedented 13 routes with a 0 yuan hike. China travels to Thailand with a tax of less than 300 yuan! The legendary bargain air ticket flashed!
AirAsia is quite generous in sending tickets. Until the next morning, the inquiry was not the lowest price, but it was still very cheap to travel more than 500 yuan!
. Western Airlines
Domestic low-cost airlines based in Chongqing have bought a ticket for 120 yuan to and from Jinan in their Shenzhen~ The time is 6 o'clock and the return journey is 10 o'clock, which is just enough to make full use of the time. It is a good choice for a weekend~
Double 11 promotion, one-way 11 yuan, and a tax and fee of 62 yuan
Waypoint:
Promotion rules:
Regular promotion:
pocket money air tickets every Wednesday, one-way 8 yuan, 38 yuan, 88 yuan, etc. (excluding one-way tax and fee of 60 yuan)
promotion: usually has 8 yuan and 11 yuan promotion (excluding one-way tax and fee of 60 yuan)
P.S. Western Airlines stipulates that members must be authenticated by real-name and can only purchase one one-way ticket for each promotion. Before the system is upgraded, you can also use your passport and ID card to book a round trip with two mobile phone accounts. Now this method is no longer useful...
However, the ticket purchased on the official Western Airlines APP can enjoy a full refund of tickets for more than 14 days before the flight takes off (i.e., a lossless refund!), so you might as well be more relaxed and buy a one-way ticket first, and then wait for the next promotion.
Pocket money ticket grabbing page
. China United Airlines
China United Airlines is a carrier that makes people love and hate. I was stationed in Nanyuan, Beijing. When I first transformed into a low-cost airline, I bought two special tickets from Shenzhen to Beijing for 276 yuan, but I can never buy them again.
Promotional rules:
Regular promotion: grab tickets at 12 noon every Friday, and usually WeChat previews will be released at 6 pm on Wednesday, and the ticket prices are mostly 8 yuan, 88 yuan, 188 yuan, etc.
Occasional big promotion: encounters specific times such as Double 11, and there may be a big promotion for 8 yuan in the entire line.
Wednesday will be announced at 6 pm on Friday promotional routes
But! ! ! ! United Airlines' promotion in
is well-known for not issuing tickets. . . That is, it will arrive at 12:00 on Friday, and there is nothing. It may take twenty or thirty minutes to find the ticket, or it may not be found at all. If you find it, you may not be able to buy it. I can only say that I was silently paying attention and silently disappointed, and I might get it one day.
2016 Double 11 promotion, Shenzhen to and from Beijing 116 yuan
other low-cost airlines, briefly introduce:
. Spring Airlines
membership day promotion on the 27th of each month, and there are often 1 yuan tickets and 9 yuan tickets in the international line, but the taxes and fees in the spring and autumn are high, and Jieyang and Shenzhen are usually around 1,000 yuan to travel to Southeast Asia. The luggage regulations for Spring and autumn international line are hand-carrying + check-in total 15KG.
high taxes. .
. Jetstar
regular promotions can buy round-trip air tickets of 700 to 800 yuan, including Hong Kong, Guangzhou Fei Nha Trang, Da Nang, Tokyo, Osaka, Singapore , etc.
reference price, domestic departing route
reference price: Hong Kong departing route
Hong Kong to and from Da Nang, Vietnam 623 Hong Kong dollars (excluding consignment)
. After the merger of Cool
and Tiger Airlines, the routes have become more abundant. Every Tuesday, the flash promotion has not changed much, but the prices have not changed much every week. In my opinion, this promotion is just a small promotion.
Specific prices can refer to this one-way tax-inclusive price list:
Traditional aviation
. Hong Kong Airlines
. Among the traditional airlines that impressed me the most, because it can be sold at times cheaper than low-cost airlines, especially the Taipei line, you can buy Hong Kong and Taipei round trips at least 700 yuan! You can also buy more than 2,000 people from North America, which is very conscientious.
waypoints: Taipei, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City , Bangkok, Seoul, Manila, Phnom Penh, Tokyo, Osaka, Okinawa , Sapporo , Yoneko, Miyazaki, Okayama, Kagoshima, Cairns, Gold Coast, Oakland, Vancouver, Los Angeles, San Francisco.
Promotion rules: There is a Flash Sale once a week or the other week, and occasionally Mega Sale (big promotion).
Reference price: Summer promotion
Flying Southeast Asia has a lot of low-cost flights. Port and shipping can focus on routes from Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand and North America. During the big promotion, you can fly with less than 3,000 yuan in taxes! Still fly directly!
Sometimes domestic air tickets are too expensive, and students in the Pearl River Delta can also consider flying back to the mainland from the Hong Kong curve:
Reference price: Double 11 promotion
Hong Kong Airlines promotion is usually synchronized with the Fliggy flagship store. Sometimes Fliggy booking prices are lower, and coupons can be added. During the big promotion, Fliggy booking may be cheaper than the official website
. Sichuan Airlines
Sichuan Airlines is a traditional airline with powerful promotions. It has been a successive membership daily promotion promotion for several consecutive days. The whole trip between Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen is 300 yuan, which is a bargain price. The only disadvantage is that the website is stuck.
Promotion rules: focuses on the membership day promotion on March, June, September and December 19th,
Promotion highlights: Flying in Chengdu and Chongqing in many places across the country is 99 yuan, plus the tax and fee round trip is only 318 yuan (the international line price from Sichuan and Chongqing is also very beautiful, I am in Shenzhen, so I pay less attention to it)
1
The official website of Sichuan Airlines was stuck on the day of the big promotion. This 99 yuan air ticket looked attractive, but it was actually not easy to buy. During the big promotion in December last year, you could still buy round trips together. In June this year, it was changed to only one way to buy one way. However, you can hold one order first, and both orders were swapped before paying together. Who knew that the second order took 20 minutes to brush it in an infinite cycle.

. China Southern Airlines
China Southern Airlines is the first of the four major airlines to conduct membership day promotions, and it is also the most powerful from beginning to end. If you want to buy domestic special tickets, China Southern Airlines must not miss it!
Promotion rules:
Regular promotion: Member day on the 28th of each month, domestic routes start as low as 80 yuan for one-way
promotion: Every quarterly China Southern Airlines Tourism Festival, international routes are the main ones, Southeast Asia usually start at 8900 yuan, East Asia, Central and West Asian countries start at 20,000 yuan for
I remember the first membership promotion of China Southern Airlines, domestic air tickets can be called bargain.
The first screenshot of China Southern Airlines membership day price (one way does not include 50 yuan taxes and fees)
Later, the membership day price rose a little, but overall it was still very cost-effective!
Screenshot of the price of China Southern Airlines membership day in April (one way does not include 50 yuan taxes and fees)
There are many places across the country. The following lists some special prices for from Shenzhen :
Flying Chongqing 700! Flying to Dalian 1060!
Flying Huangshan, Changsha 600!
Flying Yunnan Puzhe Black 340! Flying in Hangzhou 640!
Shanghai Tourism Festival domestic and international lines are all promoted, but domestic lines are usually not as attractive as China Southern Airlines Member Day. Obviously, international lines are the top priority. The big promotion usually covers the Southeast Asia line (Bangkok, Phuket, Jakarta , Kuala Lumpur, Ho Chi Minh City, etc.), the Central and West Asia line (Tbilisi, Iran , etc.), the Australian and New Zealand line ( Sydney , Melbourne, Auckland, Christchurch, etc.), the European line (Moscow, Rome, etc.), as well as the Nairobi in Africa, and Dubai in the Middle East in .
June China Southern Airlines summer tourism festival price (tax included):
Shenzhen to and from Bangkok, with a tax of 1,001 yuan, which is even cheaper than the cheapest flights during the same period. Moreover, China Southern Airlines has packed 2 23KG checked luggage.
Departure in other cities, some international line prices are for reference (tax included):
Dalian/Harbin=Bangkok, 1103 yuan
Hangzhou/Nanjing=Bangkok, 1023 yuan
Xi'an/Kunming/Chengdu/Fuzhou/Changchun=Dubai, 2471 yuan
Beijing/Shanghai/Chongqing/Wuhan/Shenyang=Nairobi, 3172 yuan
Wuhan/Shanghai/ Wenzhou =Almaty, 1267 yuan
Lanzhou/Wenzhou/Hangzhou/Shanghai=Tehran, 2336 yuan
Xiamen /Jinan/Qingdao/Ningbo=Christchurch, 2989 yuan
Beijing/Shanghai/Chengdu/Zhengzhou=Moscow, 2448 yuan
Beijing/Fuzhou/Nanjing/Hangzhou=Los Angeles, 2929 yuan
...
OK, the part that strives to swipe tickets and grab tickets is completed. In fact, there are still many airlines that have promotions, and I will talk about it later if I have the opportunity!
The following is a way to try your luck hahaha
. Fliggy APP draws 1,000 yuan or 888 yuan red envelopes
Fliggy has a "One Yuan Flying World" event every Thursday. At four hour points of 10:00, 14:00, 20:00, and 22:00 on the same day, you can draw 1,000 yuan international air ticket red envelopes! Red envelopes can only deduct the basic fare, and additional taxes and fees are required. Basically, the taxes and fees are the lowest when choosing a low-cost airline or Hong Kong.
Activity entrance: Open Flying Pig APP every Thursday - Air Tickets - Scroll the picture to find "One Yuan Flying World" (most of them have activities on Thursdays, and may not occasionally)
At first I thought this kind of activity was just a gimmick, until I really won, and immediately checked it, and the air tickets of more than 1,000 immediately became three or four hundred.
In addition to "One Yuan Flying World", Fliggy has the opportunity to receive large red envelopes in other promotional activities! Pay more attention to the scrolling pictures on the homepage of Fliggy APP, and occasionally there are activities to randomly draw 888 yuan red envelopes.
Just look at the activity rules carefully and you will know the coupon content of the lottery:
I have won the jackpot twice and feel like I have exhausted my whole life’s luck.
Maybe luck can be passed on. One Thursday after Douban released this article, a friend said he had grabbed the Fliggy's 1,000 yuan red envelope!
. Free tickets for China Southern Airlines membership day
There is a lottery event on the 28th of each month in China Southern Airlines, which directly draws free tickets for domestic round trips, or 500 or 2,000 miles. Although I have not won, I have seen many netizens posting orders.
Finally, I hope this technical post that is not very professional but is quite practical can help everyone save money! ! ! And don’t get my useful information, so don’t read my official account!
Please recommend various groups that will take you to your friends. Thank you and cherish your blessings~
