Fuel surcharge for air tickets will be reduced on December 5

Starting from December 5 (ticket issuance date), the fuel surcharge for domestic air tickets will be further reduced. At present, online travel companies such as Ctrip, Qunar, and Tongcheng have stated that they have received notices from airlines.

In the past six months, domestic air ticket fuel surcharges have been adjusted many times. They were raised three times in a row, and then slightly lowered. On November 5 and December 5, they were “dropped for the second time in a row”.

The "second consecutive reduction" in fuel surcharges will have a certain stimulating effect on winter travel. Xie Xiaoqing, a senior researcher at Ctrip Research Institute, said that after this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day “double festivals”, the tourism market has entered the off-season, and air ticket prices have been relatively stable.

Now northern ski resorts are opening one after another, and the popularity of skiing in cities such as Harbin, Jilin, and Zhangjiakou is rising.” Xiao Peng, a researcher at the Qunar Tourism Research Institute, revealed that the popular New Year’s Eve travel destinations for Hangzhou people this winter are Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Chongqing, Harbin, Kunming, Beijing, Sanya, Shenyang, Changchun, etc.

In addition, the prices of air tickets from Hangzhou to Lanzhou, Luoyang, Nanning and other cities are still stable. It is expected that starting from late December, air tickets and hotel prices in many places will increase significantly. According to the practice of previous years, following the "Double 12" promotion, various airlines and hotels will continue to participate in the "Double 12" promotion. Citizens and tourists who have travel plans may wish to pay attention to 2024 during the "Double 12" period Tourism products with winter vacation, New Year's Eve and other themes will be picked up according to demand.
