    Airfares are liberalized and can float freely. Airplanes are less maneuverable than trains, for example, trains can have one less carriage if they have a low occupancy, but airplanes cannot. In addition, airlines sometimes fly even if the seat rate is very low in the off-season in order to keep some routes (the air traffic right adopts the inheritance system, and if there is no off-season, it will be more difficult to apply during the peak season).

    For some routes, in order to attract the occupancy rate at some times, some tickets on the flight are discounted** (in fact, the same aircraft type implements the same route, and there is almost no difference in the cost of taking more people and less people), reducing the burden of route operation. Train fares are fixed, and there is a lack of competition in a monopoly industry, plus the operating costs of trains are already relatively mobile, so there will be a situation where train tickets are more expensive than plane tickets. Some people say it's because the plane is cheap or old...

    The impact of this on the ticket price is negligible, because no matter which airline chooses the aircraft on which route to fly, the operating cost must be considered, and the cheap or obsolete aircraft often leads to higher maintenance costs, which is not necessarily cost-effective. As for the small plane, it is mainly determined according to the passenger flow of the route and the natural conditions of the route, and the ticket price is not very related, because if the plane is small, the passengers carried by each flight are also less, and the cost of each passenger is often higher.

    **Ticket refers to the airline's special** discount ticket, which does not allow endorsement, has many restrictions, and has different validity periods, but is cheaper.

    Ticket sales are changing in real time, and airlines will introduce or withdraw ticket sales policies at any time, and there are too many factors of human intervention and there is no law at all. Once there are a lot of passengers, the airline will cancel the ** ticket, and the class will go to **, if the passengers are basically full, it will be a full-price ticket. So if your travel time has been set and you need to buy a **ticket, you can only make more **inquiries in advance, and if you find it, buy it immediately, because the **ticket policy will be suspended at any time, and your reservation will be canceled at any time.

    It is not advisable to be too picky when buying tickets, because ** air tickets generally have limited seats, and if you miss the best time to buy, you will regret it.

    You need to keep an eye on your flight information at all times and choose your flight time slots. For example, the fare of the early train to Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other routes is higher than the fare of the late train; Due to the influence of business travelers, the mid- and evening** departures on medium- and long-haul routes to Beijing and Shanghai will be higher than those in the morning.

    In addition, because you can reduce airline fees by logging into major airlines**, buying tickets online is usually 5 to 10 percentage points lower than market fares.

    No. Generally, the earlier you buy it, the cheaper your ticket will be.

    Domestic flights: 30 to 60 days in advance for the cheapest booking. International flights: 5 to 6 months in advance. In addition, airlines usually have quarterly promotions, annual sales and membership days, and low-cost carriers** are a bit more frequent.

    Air tickets are generally cheap in the off-season, and airlines will generally offer some discount policies to promote consumption in the off-season to increase market share.

    In the peak season, there are many people who buy no discounts, whether international or domestic air tickets are winter and summer vacations, and children are on vacation and go out to play. The summer vacation in the United States is earlier than that in China, generally from the end of May to the beginning of August, which is the peak season, and the air ticket ** is relatively high.

    Dear, you see that your cheapest ticket is a discounted ticket, which will arrive in the early hours of the evening, and there are fewer people to sit, so it will naturally be cheaper.

    For example, the price of economy class, business class and first class is different, and the treatment you can enjoy is also different, which is an important factor that leads to a large gap in air tickets. For most people, an economy or business class is sufficient. The reason why there is a gap in the air ticket is that it has a lot to do with the different departure time, for example, the time of departure when buying a ticket, if it is an off-season or a late arrival time, then the fare may be cheaper, if it is a peak season or the arrival time is more appropriate, it will be higher, which is also an important **gap influencing factor.

    The ** of the train ticket is related to the type of train, the type of seat, the speed of the time, morning and evening.

    High-speed rail, bullet trains, express trains, and express trains are different, and high-speed rail is the most expensive.

    The same high-speed rail is not the same in the morning and evening, and the peak period will be more expensive.

    For the same high-speed rail, if it stops four stations in the middle and five stations in the middle, it is not the same, and the fewer stations it stops, the more expensive it is.

    The first class, second class, hard sleeper, soft sleeper, hard seat, soft seat, etc. are also different on the same train, and the more comfortable the more expensive.

    1. If you have friends who plan to go out for a long time, it is better to plan the specific time to buy air tickets and buy them eight weeks in advance, which is relatively the cheapest. If you travel in peak season, such as Spring Festival and Friday.

    I.X. 1. During winter and summer vacations, in order to buy tickets cheaply, you generally have to book two months in advance.

    We all know that the ticket price is a floating mechanism, and from October 23, the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway.

    Ticket prices are also starting to fluctuate, so what is the difference between the two?

    For medium and large trunk airports and hub airports, each route is not only operated by one airline, but there is also a lot of competition among each other, especially in the off-season. The competition is fierce. In this case, the airline lowers the fare to ensure the load factor.

    Judging from the data of high-speed rail, the change is mainly related to travel time. For trains that take less than 5 hours from Beijing to Shanghai, the fare per seat will be increased; And for the lower trains, the journey takes about 6 hours. Because the train has a strong public welfare, the original price is not high, so you can't expect the train's ** to have a fluctuation of one or two folds like a ticket.

    No. Tickets can be purchased directly at the airline counter on the departure level of the airport.

    Pay attention to the time, as the airline stipulates that check-in closes 30 minutes before the flight's departure.

    No, it can be very expensive, and the pricing and sale of air tickets is a more complicated issue, and it is usually about fifteen days in advance that it is cheapest.

    Generally speaking, the cheapest air ticket about a week in advance of the departure date is caused by the ticket sales pricing, the general group ticket (more than 10 people) is the cheapest, and then the individual cabin booked in advance is cheaper, and in order to reduce the empty load rate of the flight, so when the ticket sales just start, the ticket is generally cheaper.

    When it comes to the departure date of the plane, the ticket buyers generally buy tickets on the spot if they are in a hurry, so if you buy tickets on the day, it is generally more expensive.

    In addition, the discounted fares of air tickets are fixed, and on a flight, there are only so many tickets with each discount, such as 5 off 20 tickets, 6 off 30 tickets, so after the low discount tickets are sold out, it will also lead to the ticket price on the day is generally more expensive.
