How to book a flight to study in the UK? The cost of studying in the UK

When purchasing a ticket, it is necessary to pre-locate the ticket in advance, and the principle of early adherence should be followed. Especially international airfares. The peak season for international students to go abroad is the winter and summer vacations every year, so it is necessary to inquire about relevant matters at the ticket purchase point at least 1 month in advance, so as to buy a reasonable** and satisfactory air ticket.

Domestic air tickets are generally about 15 days in advance to buy a reasonable ** air ticket, some airlines will engage in **, sometimes 21 days in advance will also have a particularly cheap air ticket.

At present, there are many airlines that provide travel between China and the UK, such as Air China, British Airways and Virgin, but it is recommendedStudents who go abroad for the first time choose a more convenient direct flight route to save the cumbersome process of transferring.

Things to note when booking flights: Reservations must be made at least two weeks in advance, but if the start of school is the departure time.

The peak season in July and August is best about a month in advance. If there are a large number of ticket bookings in the peak season, the time can only be determined if the reserve space is booked, or if someone cancels or refunds the ticket.

Generally, airlines require tickets to be issued or deposited before departure, because if you still don't issue a ticket in the last few days, and you don't pay a deposit, the ticket will be canceled after the reservation period, so the ticket should be issued within the specified period.

Students who are transferring in China must note that if you want to enjoy the baggage check-in service, you must buy a flight with the same ticket number with the same airline or **. If you have two separate ticket numbers or two different airlines, you will need to collect your baggage, queue up again to check it in, and then go through security and go to the boarding gate.

In addition, the luggage provided by domestic airlines is not the same, some more, some less, under normal circumstances, you can think of the name of the big city can be directly hung, but the final interpretation of this is still in the hands of the airline. This is indeed where Chinese airlines need to improve. Therefore, when buying a ticket, be sure to ask whether the luggage can be hung up.

International airfares and domestic airfares are two completely different systems. Because the original price of international air tickets is very high, and the actual price is relatively low, for example, the current round-trip ticket to Europe is 4000-5000 yuan, and the original price is about 10,000 yuan, the difference between the two is too large, therefore, international air tickets generally do not mention discounts, but directly reflected on the ticket.

The biggest difference with domestic air tickets is that there is a large difference between international air tickets and different airlines. Take the flight from Chengdu to Osaka tomorrow as an example, if you go to Shanghai to take the plane of Shanghai Airlines, the minimum round-trip ** is only about 2200 yuan (the above ** does not include tax, the same below). If you are sitting in Chengdu, you can only choose two airlines, ANA and JAL, at this time, the ** of the ticket is determined by the endorsement time stipulated by the airline, but the minimum fare is also about 3360 yuan.

The first type: the endorsement time is to return within 3 to 14 days, and the return date is determined, for example, March 6 has passed, and it is determined to come back on March 10, this kind of ticket ** is about 3360 yuan.

The second type: the endorsement time is also 3 to 14 days to return, but the passenger is not sure how many days to return, that is, the return date can be changed arbitrarily, this kind of ticket ** is about 4200 yuan.

The third type: the endorsement time is to return within 1 month, during which the return date can be changed arbitrarily, this kind of ticket ** is about 5300 yuan.

Fourth: the endorsement time is to return within 3 months, during which the return date can be changed arbitrarily, this kind of ticket ** is about 6200 yuan.

Fifth: the endorsement time is to return within 1 year, during which you can change the return date at will, this kind of ticket ** will cost 8000-9000 yuan, at this time the ticket ** is very close to the original price.

That is to say, some passengers on the same flight may have bought tickets for 3,360 yuan, while others may have spent 8,000-9,000 yuan, with a large difference.

It's best to find a travel agency, domestic low-cost international tickets are in the hands of major travel agencies, I went directly to the airline ticket office, it told me that if I want cheap I have to buy from them. It is generally more expensive to buy from home to abroad, so it is best to buy a one-way ticket for the first one, and every time you go abroad to buy a round-trip, there are many ways to buy a ticket back abroad to get a cheap ticket, ** may be cheaper than the one-way ticket you originally had.

Due to the 7-hour time difference between Chinese and English, teachers prefer to divide flights into day flights and night flights.

International students can hold a student visa in their destination country. The youth ticket requires an age between 18-26 years old, which is very strict.

You will need to have a student visa to book tickets. If the UK visa is not available at that time, you should consult a third party or airline to make it up before you travel.

4. Book air tickets for international students.

International student tickets are generally cheaper than regular tickets and carry heavier luggage. However, these types of tickets are in high demand and are limited in quantity, so they also need to be booked as early as possible. Tickets can be booked through the airline's website and tickets**.

In fact, even if you don't get a visa, you can book an international student ticket in advance through a ticket**! Although a student visa is not required on the spot for bookings made through air tickets**, it is not possible to refund or change the visa unless the visa is countersigned.
