Is Double Eleven travel cheap? Double Eleven Travel Product Guide

Seeing that Double Eleven is approaching, we are facing various price cuts, and even the tourism industry has joined in. Therefore, many people want to ask, is Double Eleven really cheap? How to buy suitable travel products? In fact, there are some tricks.

Next, let’s take a look at whether the Double Eleven travel products are really cheap. How to identify these travel products?

Is Double Eleven travel cheap?

1. Accommodation: There are hotels that are more expensive than usual during Double Eleven.

Hotel products have a low price threshold and a wide range of applications. They are a category that is popularly promoted by various travel platforms and has significant price reductions.

Xiaozhu launched the "Global Brand Selection", and Ctrip also launched the "Hotel Stocking Festival", especially multi-city discount products for brand hotels. For example, room coupons for one night at 45 Marriott Hotels in 28 cities start at 400 yuan, and room coupons for multiple Jinjiang Star hotels are priced at 119 yuan, etc.

This kind of multi-night cash-out product often requires reservation after purchase, and there are clear restrictions on usage time and stores.

It is worth noting that room vouchers are divided into several levels according to the city where they are used, and not all are 400 yuan. For example, JW Marriott Hotel applies for a room voucher of 944 yuan, but compared with the usual room rate of about 2,000 yuan, it can be discounted by 50%.

Meanwhile, in all cities, coupons are no better than usual. For example, Jinjiang Inn's 119 yuan room voucher does not include Beijing, which is one of the Jinjiang Inn Heze Coach Terminal stores.

Usually, the price of a single room booked on travel platforms starts from 103 yuan, and the price of a business room starts from 113 yuan, which is even lower than the price of Double Eleven room coupons. But if it is another applicable store, Jinjiang Inn Shanghai Nanjing Pedestrian Street, starting from 322 yuan per day, it is more cost-effective to use room coupons.

Jinjiang Inn Heze Coach Terminal Price Comparison: The left side is the Double Eleven event page, and the right side is the current booking price on the online travel platform.

On the BB side, Tujia and other BB platforms have also taken advantage of the trend to launch promotional products, among which it is more cost-effective to book winter vacation rentals in Hainan. Booking two or three months in advance, coupled with the discounts, is more cost-effective than booking close to the Spring Festival.

2. Air tickets: Popular dates are not included in the promotion.

Due to the strict restrictions on ticket booking dates, most popular dates and holidays are not included in the promotion. The promotional prices of individual routes are not much different from the current direct booking prices.

For example, the price of products to and from Australia from many places across the country starts at 2,798 yuan, of which the Beijing-Sydney round-trip package is 2,999 yuan.

According to inquiries on the Skypatrol platform, round-trip air tickets from Beijing to Sydney in May 2007 started at 2,907 yuan, and the price difference was not significant. Similarly, the round-trip ticket price from Beijing to Hong Kong on Double Eleven is 1,299 yuan. The round-trip direct flight price from Beijing to Hong Kong can still be checked on Skypatrol during the applicable dates.

When booking air tickets, consumers should pay attention to the time of use of the air ticket, conditions such as refunds and changes, and whether it is a direct flight. And compare in many aspects.

Specifically, various airlines have carried out some promotional activities during Double Eleven.

For example, Air China is based in Beijing, and its routes from Beijing and Tianjin are cost-effective; among the promotional routes, Beijing-Ulaanbaatar, Hiroshima, Okinawa, Sapporo, Dubai, Phuket, Bangkok and other routes The price-performance ratio is very high, and the round trip cost is usually less than 2,000 yuan.

However, during popular travel seasons such as winter vacation, Spring Festival, and cherry blossom season, flights to Japan are not included in the promotion.

Secondly, China Southern Airlines’ promotional routes are similar to quarterly travel festivals. Some of the national routes promoted cover holidays, and the round-trip price to each island is also around 2,000 yuan. In addition, the highlight of the promotion is the popular Turkish route, which costs about 3,500 yuan to and from Istanbul.

Three. Vacation products: suitable for consumers who have annual leave at the end of the year and the beginning of the year.

Among independent travel and group tour products, popular destinations in the past were the mainstay of promotional products.

Among them, short-distance tours

Hainan, Yunnan, and Guizhou are also very popular. For example, a group tour to the destination Dali Xishuangbanna costs 1,588 yuan for 10 days and 9 nights. The time is from November to February 2008, which is the off-season, and the price is about 500 yuan cheaper than booking now.

In terms of long-term travel, Europe, Germany, France, Italy, and Switzerland, group travel, and independent travel are also hot spots, and the prices are relatively high, with an average of more than 10,000 yuan.

Booking vacation products for tour groups is the result of a long-term decision and is not as popular as booking "air tickets and hotels" for tour groups. In addition, the booking time for some products is not on holidays, which is more suitable for consumers who have annual leave at the end of the year and the beginning of the year.

Short-term decision-making continues its popularity over the years compared to longer-term decisions. Bookings for visas to the United States, Japan, South Korea, and Australia are very popular, especially Japan visas.

In addition, scenic spot tickets, one-day tours, tickets and other products also participate in Double Eleven, and lower-priced fragmented products are more cautious in price reduction. For example, the price of Universal Studios Japan tickets for four tickets is discounted from 949 yuan to 879 yuan.
