From aoshima, $92 flew to shanghai, $173 flew to nanking, $170 flew to shenyang, $240 flew to changsha, 288 flew to xian... On 18 november, journalists learned from the air ticket sales market that, both the outbreak and the off-season tourism season, most airlines had launched ad hoc air fare reduction campaigns, which had led to a large “dividing” of domestic air fares, in some cases for less than a hundred dollars, and only one third of the train fare at the same destination, equivalent to three tickets。
According to a special-priced airline ticket on the internet, in the last month qingdao's flight to various cities throughout the country has shown a “breed price”. Of these, the lowest price was shanghai flight from qingdao and the lowest fare was only $92. In addition, journalists have consulted train tickets from qingdao to shanghai, where the price of the second class is more than 500, and the minimum of the second class is more than 270。
In the case of qingdao, which flies directly to guangzhou, on 1 december the minimum cost of non-engineered and fuel tax is set at $299, which takes 3 hours and 25 minutes. The price of the high iron second class ticket from qingdao to guangzhou is $944, and it runs for 12 hours and 30 minutes. Air ticket prices, combined with taxes, are still much lower than half the high iron fare。
In addition, the minimum fares for flights from qingdao to wuhan, nanchang, hoi fat, nanjing, hangzhou and shenyang are no more than $200; the minimum fares for flights to kunming, guilin, taiyang, fukuzhou, wenzhou, myeongyang, yong yun harbour, xi'an, taiwon, tianjin, changjiang, etc., are not more than $300; the minimum fares for flights to the cities of guangzhou, chuhai, xiamen, nanning and guiyang are not more than $500。
Of course, air fares vary according to the supply-demand relationship, with a limited minimum number of tickets per flight and almost constant high iron fares. In addition, “breed-price” tickets for some routes appear mainly on early and evening flights. At the same time, it should be recalled that, although the fare is cheap, the above-mentioned price does not include such costs as construction, and the fare will vary at any time depending on the sales situation, and the actual price will be based on the fare。
“air travels after november into the traditional off-season season, which tends to last until spring, at which point fares have been lowered in previous years, but have never been so low before.” in the view of xu li, the director-general of the corporation of limited liability for international tourism air transport, qingdao, domestic airline fares show a large “dive” phenomenon associated with the current epidemic. “it is not necessary for everyone to be absent, and the tourism market is bleak, which reduces the flow of passengers and leads to a lower aviation market. However, airline flights are still flying, and in order to attract customers, prices are reduced. Therefore, the price of domestic airline tickets during this period is normal at $3,400.” however, xu li explained that the fee for the refund of most coupons was not low, and some could even deduct 70 per cent of the fare。
It is understood that, in order to boost the weak air market, major airlines are beginning to spend their minds on air ticket sales. In his presentation, xu li said that airlines not only offered incentives to sales agents, but also offered value-added services to promote the purchase of airline tickets. In addition, other airlines have introduced “free fly” sub-cards, unlimited flights, etc. To attract consumers。
The fare of international flights is not cheap compared to the “branch price” of domestic airline tickets. “according to the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, international flights are smaller and airfares are relatively high. Of these, domestic airline fares abroad are relatively low, while home fares are high.” xu liang, for example, said that domestic airline fares in kuala lumpur were as high as $30,000, and in dubai they were 50,000。
It has to be said that the word “deficit” continues to be the main melody of the major airlines and that air-ticket sales agents are not immune to the impact. Suh stated that the entire aviation market was currently in a state of decline or even collapse, and that there were also a number of agents in the city who were unable to stop or cancel. “looking forward to an early end to the epidemic and an early recovery in the industry.” xu li said. And for that day, it is not just the high expectations of the air market。
