How to buy cheap air tickets?

Tourism is an activity of burning money;

As a senior poor travel enthusiast, saving money for air tickets is the right way.

Talk to you today: how to do big things with less money?

1. When is the most affordable time to buy a plane ticket? "The price of a cabin is often related to demand. The higher the demand, the higher the fare. "

Therefore, the key factors affecting the fare are the off-season and holidays.

? For example, the route to Qingdao on May 1, April 29 -5. 1 the lowest quotation for three-day round-trip routes 1000 yuan, dropped to 720 yuan one day ahead of schedule.

Therefore, if the budget is tight, it is best to stagger the peak demand, buy it 1~2 weeks in advance in the off-season and 1~2 months in advance in the peak season.

Maybe friends will ask: which months are the off-season?

1~ March, June, etc. The high probability is the off-season, and there may be 2~3 fold air tickets for sale;

May, September,165438+1October are normal peak seasons, with passenger flow falling and ticket prices diving;

April, July-August, 65438+1October and 65438+February are the peak seasons.

Warm reminder: Please stagger the week before and after the Spring Festival, 2~3 days before the Golden Week and the long holiday in cold and summer.

What about a week later?

Tuesday afternoon, Wednesday morning, Sunday morning before/after 8 am 10 is generally much cheaper.

Among them, Friday is the most expensive (most office workers will choose Friday to travel because of the weekend. )

In one day, the fare will be changed three times. Air tickets in the morning and noon are the most expensive (because most people are used to booking air tickets in the morning, the click-through rate will increase after 9 am), and it is cheaper after 1 pm (fewer people book air tickets).

Considering the routine of office workers, night flight is cheaper than JAL. If you have enough travel time, you can choose rationally.

2. Where is the cheapest ticket? ? Official website recommended it as the first choice, and the App is for comparison only. If you have coupons, you can consider using the App.

The reason for this is the following：

The promotion price of airline membership day can only be found in official website;

It is more convenient to return and change the visa, and even after consultation with the airline, there will be opportunities to return and change the visa for free;

As far as domestic routes are concerned, official website is generally the lowest price.

As for the third-party ticketing platform, individuals prefer the flying pig APP.

After the third party issues the ticket, it is necessary to check the ticket number received in the mail from the airline official website. There are two kinds: 13? In China? BSP？ E-ticket number or? 1 1? Travel travel itinerary printed the serial number of an air transport e-ticket, and I was relieved when I found it.

The price of the search is not satisfactory?

Never mind, there is a "price reduction reminder" function in the upper right corner. Once it is lower than the lowest price of the search quotation, the system will automatically remind you to buy a ticket quickly.

Of course, on Tuniu and Zhu Fei APP, we can see the disparity in prices!

That's because the platform shows a lag effect.

Place an order as soon as you see which platform is cheap. If you hesitate for a while, it will become the high price of another platform.

Therefore, it is recommended to quickly compare the prices and try to buy them in the official app of the airline you choose, so that you can not only see the real-time price, but also enjoy the membership price.

If the ticket price remains high, please keep calm and avoid buying tickets on impulse.

Because this is an algorithm that uses human weakness to manipulate.

Using big data algorithms to lock positions (in short, locking low-discount positions and not selling them) leads to tight supply and demand.

When the departure time is about one month, airlines will reduce prices to attract passengers and improve the full load rate of flights.

Precautions:

1. When you kill the ticket, you must see whether it includes tax;

Remember to check the detailed instructions in official website.

2. The problem of luggage weight and size

Because some companies are small budget models, they are very strict about luggage size.

Please pay attention to the issue of free checked baggage allowance.

According to the number of trains: it is divided into one-way air tickets, multi-way air tickets and joint air tickets.

One-way ticket is a common ticket.

When a journey is divided into several segments, passengers need to buy joint air tickets and multiple air tickets.

For example, China Eastern Airlines and Sichuan Airlines have a joint discount, and many routes of Hainan Airlines have round-trip special cabins. It is most cost-effective to buy their tickets and call their official hotline.

Detailed description of joint folding and folding:

For example, if you want to book, June 1 Shanghai to Beijing MU 5 1 15, and June 6, Beijing to Shanghai MU5 1 16.

If the price shown in MU5 1 15 is 50% off, 620+50(50 is the airport construction fee).

MU5 1 16 shows that the price is 60% off and 740+50 yuan.

Originally, the plane ticket had to be paid at 620+50+740+50= 1460 yuan.

Fold up and down through joint travel? You only need to pay (620+740) * 0.9+100 =1320 yuan.

Finally, I wish you enough luck to spend the least budget, meet the best donkey friends and enjoy the most beautiful scenery;

On the road, while young, not bound by daily necessities, you can record more happy footprints.
