Want a cheap ticket? Some of the new studies provided an in-depth analysis of the internal mechanisms for the pricing of airline tickets by united states airlines, some of which were surprising: for example, direct flights were cheaper than transit/cut-off flights; and round-trip hours spanned saturday nights with lower average fares. So, are the principles of low-priced tickets, too, in china
Direct flights are cheaper than transit/cut-off flights
In china, fares are cheaper for both domestic and international flights, and far more expensive for direct flights。
Inquiries by the beijing youth newspaper found that in china, it is usually cheaper to transit/stop than to fly directly, whether domestic or international. For example, a flight from beijing to kuala lumpur, scheduled for 21 july, found a minimum fare of $5j673 for transit to manila and then to kuala lumpur, at a rate of $1350 with a tax price; a direct flight of $1878 with a tax fare of mahjongg mh361; and a tax fare of $2170 with a national airline ca871. International flights to south-east asia typically cost between 40 and 60 per cent of the fare for direct flights。
On 21 july, also on the domestic route of wuhan-sanya, the direct flight of mu2528 was $1670, which is 120 per cent more direct than the stop ticket, if mu9690 was chosen to pass through east lyuzhou (4. 7 off economy class)。
The average round-trip rate is lower on saturday night
The search by north qing newspaper journalists revealed, for example, the second week of april: 8 april (monday) - 14 april (sunday) at a fare of $780, $750, $750, $750, $800, $800 and $800 respectively. The lowest fare appeared on tuesdays and thursdays, while the most expensive fare appeared on fridays, saturdays and sundays. On 8 april (on monday) the cost of the return journey across 14 april (on sunday) was $1608; on 8 april, the return rate was $1608. The return journey on 8 april (monday) was for 13 april at a price of $1410, the lowest fare for the immediate round trip。
This is not the case in china。
The impact of oil prices on airline pricing is small
At the time of the festival, almost all of the hot shipping routes, beijing-sanya, beijing-shenzhen, beijing-kangzhou, beijing-shanghai, were full-priced; after the 15th of the month, a flight of $420 from beijing to sanya took place on 19 february, at a mere 1. 6 discount; and from 21 february to 30 march, a minimum of 1. 4 discount was paid for beijing-based flights. The difference in air fares between peaks of season travel and late seasons is nearly fivefold。
The increase in the price of tanker oil in 2018 exceeded the appropriate benchmark price of the commission, and the company had at one point charged a fuel surcharge of $10-20; the surcharge on fuel was cancelled in january 2019 because of the oil price decline。
The difference of $1,000 to $3,000 in the price of air tickets during the season, and the impact of the fuel surcharge of $10 to $20 on the price of air tickets, is almost negligible。
“the impact of oil prices on airline pricing is not significant”, as is the case in china。
Can you get the lowest price three or four weeks in advance
The north qing press survey found that the air ticket prices over the next two to three months were all in full because of the increasing ease of the air ticket search engine. For three to four weeks ' or one day's advance booking, the price that may be obtained is not certain to be very high and does not lead to the conclusion that 21 days ' advance tickets are cheaper。
In fact, the seasons of certain routes are regular every year, and it is the best way to buy cheap tickets that we find them。
Consumer spending
How do i get a ticket
According to civil aviation expert lin jijie, the price of airline tickets depends mainly on supply and demand. In the same segment, the price in the season may be three to five times higher than in the off season. Supply and demand vary from market to market, with different prices. The factors determining the price of airline tickets do not depend entirely on the voyage, long routes may be cheap and short routes may be expensive. Behind this is the consideration of airlines in different markets to attract different passengers。
It is usually in january, february and march of each year that european airline tickets are cheaper. In the summer months of july, august and september, as well as national holidays and christmas, the cost of air tickets is higher in europe. The choice of transit flights, long-range international air tickets and united nations air tickets are usually cheaper than direct tickets, sometimes more than half。
Transit tickets require attention to such information as the timing of the flight, the flight terminal, etc. The website is usually booked to alert customers to relevant information, but they are still required to do their homework in order not to be able to catch up on a follow-up flight。
In addition, attention should be paid to the policy relating to refunds and airfares, which would normally be more stringent if the itinerary were not so definite and would require more consideration before a billing. Regardless of the intensity of the premium, consumers must be careful about the details of the visa in the country of destination before travelling, avoiding the awkward situation of booking tickets without being able to sign. Guests booking transit tickets also need to pay additional attention to the need for transit visas at different transit locations。
There is a risk of a “trans-shipment” abandonment
Passengers choose to take only the first leg to abandon the second leg or to fly from the second leg, at risk of being claimed by the airline or being unable to take the flight. Foreign sources have reported that two reasons for the use of united nations transit tickets have occurred in recent days, leading to the prosecution of both passengers and passengers。
In the sale of air tickets, our airline has a clear contractual agreement for united nations air tickets. Inquiries by north qing newspaper journalists revealed that, for example, the use of nav's beijing transit route to kuala lumpur to bali in the product description states: “in accordance with aviation regulations, it is important to ensure that flights are carried in the order of flights, and that failure to fly in the previous part of the flight would result in the latter part being unable to board”。
Wang qianmin, an expert in the civil aviation resource network, indicated that airline passenger rules were based on civil aviation law. There is a specific “order and use of a vote union” detailed clause: tickets purchased by a passenger are intended only for transport from the place of departure, the agreed place of parking to the place of destination, as indicated on the ticket. The fares paid by passengers are based on airline price rules and transport as specified on passenger tickets. The fare is an essential element of the contract of carriage between airlines and passengers. As well as elements such as “a passenger ticket must be used in the order of the voyage, not reversed, and the first leg of the voyage must be used first, otherwise the airline will not accept the shipment”。
In its regulations, passengers are advised to contact the airline in advance if they wish to change any element of the transport and to comply with the conditions for the use of passenger tickets. (grunts)
