How to buy a plane ticket is the most cost-effective?

I like traveling very much, and I am very grateful to my flight attendant friends for teaching me that buying air tickets is the cheapest way.

In order to improve or strive for more passenger load factor, airlines often make some discounts and price reductions on the cabin ticket price. We often see fluctuations in air ticket prices, which is also the reason why special air tickets appear.

Share with you how to accurately and efficiently buy special air tickets with the biggest discount and the lowest price:

Preferred airline is official website or app.

China Southern Airlines, Air China, China Eastern Airlines and other airlines all have the lowest price guarantee in official website, so it is convenient to return and change the visa. Many discounted air tickets can only be found in official website. Register more airline members at ordinary times, so that when the membership day of each airline arrives, you can buy ultra-low-cost tickets. There will even be a ticket to 1-99 yuan on airline membership day, which is so cheap that you doubt your life.

Ticket purchasing software

Download more platforms to compare prices, which is my simple summary of different platforms:

Specialized in direct flights to domestic routes (OTA platforms such as official website, Ctrip, Zhu Fei, Qunar, etc.), these platforms compare prices and then buy the cheapest one.

Platforms such as Ctrip have low-cost monitoring. If the ticket price reaches the expected price, you will be informed by SMS, which can be used for comparison.

It is cheapest to buy tickets at this time.

1) Every year, 3/4/9/ 1 1 is the off-season and peak of special fares. It is recommended to buy it 1-2 weeks in advance.

Another time is the peak season, so it is recommended to buy it 1-2 months in advance.

Key points: stagger these times "3-5 days before Spring Festival and 1-4 days after Spring Festival" and "0/-2 days before Golden Week"

2) Domestic tickets are purchased in1-February in advance, and foreign tickets are purchased in March-April in advance.

3) It will be cheaper to swipe the ticket in the afternoon 1 later. The price of air tickets usually fluctuates by 3 pounds in one day. If you refresh the price after 13 in the afternoon, you will find that the price is lower than that at night.

4) One or two days before departure, the airline will judge the load factor according to the ticketing system, and in some cases, special tickets will be released.

5) Tuesdays are the cheapest and Fridays are the most expensive.

Night flights and connecting flights are cheaper.

Night flights are usually cheaper than daytime flights, and technical secondary school flights are cheaper than direct flights. If there is enough travel time, it will be more economical to choose a flight that needs to transfer on a long route.

These airlines have lower fares.

Domestic: Spring Airlines, Jiuyuan Airlines, Western Airlines and China United Airlines.

Abroad: Spring Airlines, AirAsia, EasyJet, Cebu Airlines, Ryanair, Virgin Australia.

In addition, share 3 tips:

Don't check the same flight in the same APP, big data will think that you are in a hurry to buy, and the price will go up.

It is cheaper to buy a combination round trip than to buy it alone.

6 18/ double 1 1 greatly promoted the major airlines to have low-cost spikes.

It should be noted that the fares of some airlines are relatively low, because supporting services such as plane meals and free baggage allowance are removed. Therefore, if you have a lot of luggage, in order to pursue the experience, you should carefully choose special fares.
