How to book a hotel at a cost-effective price on May Day - Promotions Where to go for cheap on May Day

Have you thought about traveling during the May Day holiday this year? Have you bought your tickets for May Day this year? If you have already made plans, you can try to book a hotel now. Many places have discounts, but the discounts are limited, so you should hurry up and buy them.

Promotions

Generally speaking, the best ways to travel during holidays are as follows:

1. Use points and miles. Because most points and miles redemptions do not increase in price due to holidays, and the cancellation policy is good. But the disadvantage is that it takes a long time to prepare in advance. For example, I have already reserved a hotel in Sanya during the Spring Festival next year.

2 Take advantage of OTA subsidies. Everyone wants to travel during holidays, so this is also the time when OTA subsidies are the largest. There is no way, in order to grab customers, and subsidies are the easiest way to poach customers.

In the past few days, if there is an event at Qunar, the subsidies are quite generous, and they are specially subsidized for May Day travel. If you can grab it, you'll definitely make a profit.

To put it simply, this activity is two flash kills plus a booster.

The first flash sale is to use 51 yuan to buy a no-threshold instant discount red envelope of 500-1,000 yuan. Because there is no threshold, you can earn it in seconds and receive benefits properly.

Because this coupon has no threshold, for example, if the ticket order price is 350 yuan, the face value of the ticket coupon is 300 yuan, after using the coupon, you need to pay 50 yuan + machine construction fee + fuel fee to place the order. Can.

The same goes for hotel vouchers.

Of course, the number of places for this kind of free benefits is definitely limited, and it won’t be that easy to grab them.

You can grab it every day, but the earlier you grab it, the better the price/performance ratio. Because the value of the coupon package will decrease over time.

After grabbing it, you need to use it within 48 hours. Book calendar air tickets and calendar hotels on Qunar from April 29th to May 11th. The rules for cancellation and change are according to the airline and hotel. implement.

The 51 yuan ones are certainly hard to grab, but there are also 1,000 yuan coupon packages available for 510 yuan.

It is also a coupon package with no threshold, and it is also worth grabbing. This one should be slightly easier to grab.

This one, which costs 510 yuan, can also be returned without loss.

And this coupon is valid until May 31st, so you don’t have to use it within 48 hours.

There are 4 flash sales every day. If you share it with your relatives and friends, you can buy it in advance, and the probability of grabbing it in advance will be higher.

To participate in this event, your real name is required. That is to say, you need to be the actual passenger when booking the air ticket, and the same is true for staying at the hotel. So when the seconds are up, you can only use it for yourself.

So I suggest everyone to buy according to your needs. Although they are all non-refundable, the number of places is small after all, and it is important to reserve them for those who really need them.

If you choose any flight on May Day, the round trip from Hangzhou to Beijing is 1,413 yuan. If you buy the outbound and return journeys separately, you can use two coupons with a discount of 300, so the round trip only costs 813 yuan. Isn’t it great?

When you book a hotel, you can also add the hotel coupons.

Where to go on May Day

1. Go to big cities

During holidays, air tickets and hotels in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are not expensive. . Especially for hotels, it may even be more cost-effective to come on weekdays.

Let me give you an example. During the May Day holiday, Shoubei Zhaolong (owned by Hyatt) only has 867 for one night. Although it is not too cheap, it is definitely not expensive either.

Not only Hotels and air tickets from Hangzhou to Beijing are only a little over 1,000 during the May Day period.

2 Go to off-season travel destinations. For example, Changbai Mountain is on April, May, and June. This month is the off-season, so air tickets and hotels are very cheap. Let me give you a preview. In a few days, I will introduce the Changbaishan Park Hyatt. The price is 799 per night including breakfast. Even if it is the May Day holiday, it will only cost 200 per night.

Although you can’t ski in Changbai Mountain in May, you can still soak in hot springs, climb to the top of Tianchi Lake, and eat all kinds of things.

3 Go to niche destinations

Is Sanya expensive? Anyway, it is not cheap right now, let alone the May Day holiday. I took a quick look and saw that they are all sky-high prices.

But hotels in Beihai, Guangxi are very cheap. I searched for calendar rooms directly during the May Day holiday. Whether it was Crowne Plaza or Shangri-La, the prices were within an acceptable range.

Beihai is definitely not as good as Sanya, and far worse.

But the travel experience during the May Day holiday is not necessarily worse in Beihai than in Sanya. As long as there are a lot of people anywhere, the travel experience will be lost.

In addition to Beihai, I searched and found that hotels in Nanchang, Guiyang, Anshun...even Zhangjiajie and Fenghuang are not expensive.

4 Go to surrounding destinations that can be reached by high-speed rail

Why? Because the price of air tickets will increase, but the price of train tickets is constant. I am currently thinking about whether I should take my baby to Nanjing during the May Day holiday. The train arrived in just over an hour, and after checking the hotel prices, they were quite cheap.

5 Go to newly opened destinations

For example, Hangzhou-Zhongwei, go on May 1st and return on May 6th, the air ticket is only 2,000 yuan. The Qingming round trip is cheaper, the air ticket is only 1340 yuan, and the weekday round trip is less than 1000 including tax.

Why is it so cheap? Air China just opened the Hangzhou-Zhongwei route just a few days ago. There is no attendance at the moment, so tickets are naturally sold cheaply.

Policies favor travel

On March 15, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism proposed that in low-risk areas, theaters and other performance venues, Internet service venues, entertainment venues and other above-mentioned venues should receive consumers. There is no longer a uniform limit on the number of people.

On March 17, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism issued the "Guidelines for Epidemic Prevention and Control Measures for the Resumption of Tourist Attractions (Revised March 2021)", requiring that the upper limit of tourist reception in tourist attractions shall be determined by the provincial (district, municipal party committee, The government determined based on the local epidemic prevention and control situation that there will be no "one size fits all" policy.

On March 21, the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council held a press conference, and the deputy director and spokesperson of the Publicity Department of the National Health Commission. Mi Feng pointed out: At present, low-risk areas in the country have a "green code" for health travel, and orderly travel can be carried out on the premise that temperature measurement is normal and personal protection is taken, and various places are not allowed to increase the number without authorization

March 25. On the same day, news from the Ministry of Transport stated that during the Tomb-Sweeping Day holiday this year, tolls for small passenger vehicles will continue to be waived on toll roads across the country. The specific free period is from 0:00 on April 3 to 24:00 on April 5.

The policy. The clarity is a reassurance for people traveling during the short holiday.
