Is there a difference between railway 12306 and Ctrip?

As a person who often travels by train, let's share the difference between 12306 official ticket purchase and Ctrip and other third-party ticket purchases!

Ticket issuing speed: 12306 You don't have to worry about issuing tickets officially, you can buy and sell them. At the same time, you can be informed of ticket information in various ways, and you can also allow users to choose routes, such as WeChat. Ctrip's ticket depends on it. If you use the account number 12306 to log in and buy, the ticket is equivalent to the official. But if not, let Ctrip buy it, and the ticket will obviously be slow.

Ticket grabbing function: Many people use Ctrip to grab tickets. I thought it was just needed before, but now the ticketing function of third-party apps such as 20 19 Ctrip is no longer necessary.

Because 12306 has an alternate function, this is the official ticket grabbing function, and the mechanism is more reasonable, which will help you automatically purchase the refund released in the later period according to the order. Ctrip's ticket grabbing function essentially grabs these refunds. Let Ctrip help you grab it, it is better to let 12306 officially grab it.

Hidden consumption: 12306 There is no hidden consumption, but after placing an order, it will jump out of the railway ride insurance in 3 yuan, and it can be cancelled if the prompt is obvious. Third-party apps such as Ctrip are different. In addition to the cost of clearly marking the ticket, there are hidden costs that you have not discussed in various pits. You should see every step of the operation clearly, otherwise it is easy to pay more.

Discount ticket purchase: 12306 There is basically no official discount ticket purchase, but many banks will take the initiative to engage in some activities, and the credit payment of a bank can be fully reduced. There are many others, including UnionPay, China UnionPay Express and so on. All these need to be explored by people with heart. If third-party apps such as Ctrip are more direct in this piece, they will often put some deductible red envelopes. In the past, I often used a third party to buy tickets. The core is that there is a red envelope deduction.

In fact, this piece needs users' own concern. Look at the recent discounts on their bank cards, including WeChat and Alipay.

Refund and change: the advantages of 12306 will be more obvious in this respect. As long as you don't get the paper certificate, you can refund the ticket and change it at will. Because the itinerary changes a lot, I often change my visa like this! Ctrip is different from other third-party apps. If you log in with your own 12306 account to buy tickets, the change will be smoother. Otherwise, it will be relatively troublesome for you to change your visa. You have to go to the railway station to change your ticket again, and you will be charged more before you refund the ticket.

Views of Lscssh technical officials:

The above is my opinion on the third-party apps such as Railway 12306 and Ctrip based on my personal experience. The first choice for personal ticket purchase is 12306, but I will go to the third-party APP to see if I can get a red envelope coupon before I officially purchase tickets. If the discount amount is greater than the bank card activity, then I will choose to buy tickets from a third-party APP and log in with the account number 12306.

The above contents hope to be helpful to the subject! I have to say that 12306 has made great progress in recent years.

Compared with the official 12306, the third-party ticketing platform has no advantage. 12036 has launched the "alternate ticket purchase" function, and the success rate of ticketing is better than all kinds of ticketing software, so it is unnecessary to use third-party ticketing software such as Ctrip.

After the railway 12306 was upgraded to the latest APP, the alternate ticket purchasing function was added. If there is no suitable ticket at that time, you can submit the ticket demand according to the required number of trains and advance payment, and the ticketing system will automatically queue up to make up the ticket, and can also display information such as how many people are waiting in line at present. If the selected train has a refund, the system will automatically cash the ticket and notify the purchaser.

According to the official statement, the speed and success rate of standby tickets are better than that of ticketing software, and the ticket replacement function is free. Third-party ticketing software platforms usually charge a certain fee, and there is no guarantee that they will be able to grab tickets.

I often travel by train on business. It is easy to buy tickets two days before the train starts. The railway department will sell new tickets at different stations on the hour or at 1: 30. Compared with the ticketing software, the "standby function" of 12306 is easier to grab tickets.

In short, the "post-ticketing" function introduced by Railway 12306 almost robbed the "rice bowl" of most third-party ticketing platforms.

First of all, talk about the benefits of buying in Ctrip: 1. Some netizens don't have an account number 12306 for various reasons, or forget their account number and password. In this case, you can't get a ticket in official website 12306. In Ctrip, you can buy tickets without logging in to the 12306 account. 2. On special holidays, Ctrip may have some discounts on activities, and issuing some discount coupons can help users save some money. But now there are fewer and fewer such coupons. 3. official website 12306 has no ticket grabbing function. Ctrip can help you grab tickets. Let's talk about the disadvantages of buying in Ctrip: 1, the default tying problem. You bought a train ticket for 20 yuan on Ctrip. When paying, you need to see whether all kinds of insurance, vouchers and value-added services are checked by default. If you are not careful, you may pay more than ten or twenty dollars. 2. Security and personal privacy of account number 12306. After logging in your account 12306 on Ctrip, Ctrip will definitely save your account password, as well as the name and ID number of the passengers inside. 3. There will be some disputes under special circumstances. When buying tickets in Ctrip, Ctrip plays the role of an agent. For example, if you refund your ticket on Ctrip, you think you have already refunded it, but due to Ctrip's system problems, you may not have submitted your refund request to 12306 at all. In this case, the user may lose the ticket.

It seems more popular to buy tickets with apps such as numbers. But Ctrip seems to have some "hidden" consumption and some "tricky". Let's have a look.

Generally, 12306 is used to buy tickets, which makes official website feel more at ease. In fact, many people are still willing to buy tickets with third-party apps such as port numbers.

Interface, train number

Let's look at the interface of the two products now. Is there a difference in the number of trains? Or are they all the same?

On the left is 12306, and on the right is Ctrip App:

From the content, there is no difference, but the number is more in line with our needs because it marks the price, which will make it easier for some users to understand the price.

Of course, what you need to know is that Ctrip App puts planes and cars on the interface, which may be Ctrip's advantage!

Priority strength

In this regard, 12306 is the official App, and banks may have some discounts except partial payment; But what we know is that the discount of Ctrip App will be much larger.

Ctrip often has some preferential policies, but it doesn't have this advantage in 12306.

Ctrip is fully functional.

We know that Ctrip is more functional, and we know that Ctrip App is mainly about tourism functions such as hotels and air tickets. For our consumers, the advantage of Ctrip App will be stronger. If you want to reduce the use of App, Ctrip will have more.

But Ctrip may have some so-called VIP customers, which means you may spend more money. In this regard, although there is no preferential treatment for the 12306 meeting, there will be no routine.

I prefer to use the 12306 App. On the contrary, Ctrip App has many functions, but it feels fancy.

First of all, we must understand that both Railway 12306 and Ctrip can buy train tickets.

As we all know, "Railway 12306" is the official mobile phone ticketing application software launched by China Railway Customer Service Center. It shares user, order, ticket amount and other information with the official website of train tickets, and uses unified ticketing business rules. The software has the functions of air ticket reservation, online payment, change, refund, order inquiry, common contact management, personal data modification, password modification and so on.

Generally speaking, Railway 12306 is the official mobile phone ticketing software. Tickets with or without tickets will be displayed in time, and tickets will be issued if the order is placed successfully. It may be because official website is a railway ticket seller that users feel more at ease when purchasing tickets, especially when going through the formalities of returning and changing tickets.

However, software such as Ctrip Travel belongs to third-party software. Although some red envelopes are sometimes distributed during the event, it is easy to get unsuccessful tickets during the ticket purchase process. There are also tying, the security of 12306 account, and the disclosure of personal privacy.

Of course, the benefits of Ctrip ticket purchase are also obvious, such as the following situations:

The user can't use the 12306 account normally.

For example, users can't buy tickets in official website 12306 without registering their accounts or forgetting their accounts and passwords. In Ctrip, you can buy tickets without logging in to the 12306 account.

Ctrip will launch event offers from time to time.

For example, on special holidays, Ctrip will issue some discount coupons, which can help users save some money.

Ctrip has the function of grabbing tickets

However, 12306 official website has no ticket grabbing function. Although the standby ticket service of 12306 greatly improves the probability of users grabbing tickets, it still does not have the function of grabbing tickets every day.

Generally speaking, people mostly choose to buy tickets in official website 12306, and in some cases choose third-party ticketing software such as Ctrip. (The picture is taken from the network)

Railway 12306 is one of the suitable ways to purchase tickets online, and it is also very convenient to change and refund tickets online. But why are third-party online ticket purchases popular? Sometimes the intelligence of the third-party ticketing software is slightly better than that of 12306, and the probability of grabbing tickets is higher. You can also make an appointment to buy tickets ... Isn't this the embodiment of their meaning?

As the official ticketing software (web page), the transaction is safe and reliable, and the data is timely and accurate, which are the obvious advantages of 12306. Exactly, it can keep pace with the ticket purchasing function on the web page, and can handle the business of ticket purchasing, refund and change between the mobile phone and the website. Unified ticket purchase business rules, online change and refund are quite convenient to handle, which can be said to be "in one go"!

Just like the mobile phone client on the iOS side, the recent version update also adds the fingerprint login function and also supports face ID login. In fact, it is also a manifestation of convenience.

In addition to the official ticket purchasing channel of 12306, there are online ticket purchasing applications such as Flying Pig, Qunar, Ctrip and High-speed Rail Butler. In fact, their function is essentially the same as that of 12306, and the end users all want to buy tickets. The final ticket purchasing channel is the same as the 12306 channel, but the process is different.

Advantages. 12306' s standby ticket purchase can alleviate the difficulty of ticketing to a certain extent, but the third-party ticketing software seems to have more say in the issue of intelligent ticket purchase. You may have robbed 12306 for a few days without a ticket, but you soon found it lost after using Ctrip. Secondly, booking tickets can give you an advantage in time. Pay in advance, and the system will automatically swipe the ticket to place an order. It really helps some people with strict travel arrangements.

Disadvantages. As mentioned above, 12306 is famous for its safe and reliable transactions and timely and accurate data. In fact, this is precisely the defect of online ticket purchase. There may be some third-party online ticket purchase information is incomplete, or the data is not timely, and some trains may not be inquired/purchased. Secondly, third parties have a strong profit purpose, and sometimes they have to "burn money" to grab tickets. Moreover, it is not as convenient as 12306 to refund and change the ticket.

Therefore, whether it is 12306 or other ways to buy tickets, there are advantages and disadvantages. 12306 is indeed one of the ways suitable for online ticket purchase, but third-party ticket purchase is more flexible than ticket grabbing! This also determines the necessity of their existence.

Of course, we don't have to worry about what to buy tickets. In the end, it is still "Wang" who can buy tickets. Like 12306, sometimes it is really good to exchange points for tickets, but most of the time I am used to using a third party. What's your opinion?

12306 official. Ticket replacement is free within the specified time. Ctrip is a third party, there will be handling fees and so on, and it will be more troublesome to return the goods if it is delivered directly to the door. Early 12306 could not be selected. It can choose seats or have advantages, but now it's just so-so.

What is the difference between users using Railway 12306 and Ctrip to purchase tickets? In fact, there are many ways to buy train tickets now, but the most authentic online shopping platform is 12306 official software, so let's talk about it with you.

For the current ticket purchase methods, there are official 12306 ticket purchase methods, as well as many other platforms, such as Ctrip and WeChat wallet.

However, the purchase effect here is actually the same, and tickets can also be bought, but 12306 is the most formal way. If you buy tickets on the platform of 12306, you won't say that there are some extra charging modes when you buy tickets.

On the one hand, Ctrip is not doing well. For example, when purchasing, there will be many charging modes to induce users to consume.

This is really a very good function. Sometimes when we buy a train ticket, we may forget to buy it in advance, so when we buy a ticket, we will be issued without a ticket.

Therefore, we can use this type of ticketing software to buy tickets, and it can also be used to specify users' seats. It's still very convenient.

Finally, for users, there is really no big difference in the way of purchasing tickets, but as far as the software itself is concerned, there are formal and authentic ways. For example, 12306 is the Ministry of Railways' own ticketing website, which is not authorized to others and is the only channel. Then, if you have any different opinions, you can leave a message below and discuss it together!

Is there a difference between railway 12306 and Ctrip? There is still a difference between the two. 12306 direct sales tickets and Ctrip are third-party consignment tickets. The two can be selected alternately for different travel purposes.

12306 is the official train ticket. You can buy it immediately or wait for a spare ticket. Ctrip is waiting to buy tickets after paying the money. If it can't buy a ticket, it will have to refund the money or buy other trains or other trains. In addition, 12306 is quite convenient, and you can do it directly on the APP, while Ctrip is relatively troublesome, and you may even have to go to the station to change your ticket.

In addition, there is a big difference between these two kinds of sales and tying. 12306 train tickets are sold purely, and there is no extra tying. Ctrip is a travel service. Selling train tickets is only an agency business, but also selling hotel rooms, travel tickets, travel services, insurance, car use and other businesses. Therefore, many people spit out Ctrip and accidentally fell into the tying pit, so be especially careful when buying tickets.

But from another point of view, for people who travel for the purpose, Ctrip may still be quite good. When buying air tickets in Ctrip, especially package service, you can choose many discounts, such as hotel, insurance, shuttle service, city tour, car rental and so on. This also brings tourists a relatively worry-free service and concentrates on enjoying the tour.

Therefore, if the author is on business or non-tourism services, he generally chooses 12306 to purchase tickets directly. This is relatively simple, direct and quick, even if he changes his visa, it is more convenient and simple. Sometimes you need to travel to other places. When considering more travel services, you will occasionally choose Ctrip to buy air tickets and solve other services such as accommodation, itinerary planning, ticketing, car rental and insurance. Relatively speaking, there are still some concessions or all the requirements are completed in one place.

Please pay attention to "Dongfeng Levin" for more sharing.

I said it's a big difference. Buy tickets by railway 12306, your friends don't have to work hard to help you speed up, and you don't have to share the acceleration page everywhere; If you buy with Ctrip, your friends may be forced to help you speed up, and you have to share the accelerated page everywhere. I met a good friend before and somehow dragged me into a group. I don't know many people in the group. I thought something was wrong, but the result was that we were asked to help him speed up the ticket grab. The key is to speed up the speed of grabbing tickets, which is really troublesome. I don't want to download the app, and I don't want to disturb my friends, so it's hard to do.

Buying tickets with an app that needs to be accelerated, such as Ctrip, is really not as good as opening a vip directly. Sharing is not only slow, but also has little effect. It's 20 19 now, almost 2020. 12306 has standby function, which makes formal production more worry-free. The third-party platform also helps you grab these alternate tickets, which is probably the speed of the internet! Of course, it is not that it is useless to buy tickets on third-party platforms. Many people enjoy the convenience and success of buying tickets on third-party platforms. If you can buy it once at 12306, it is estimated that no one will choose a third-party platform to buy it.
