The most expensive thing to travel may be the air ticket. Today, Bian Xiao will talk to you about air tickets. Everyone can save money on the trip. Bian Xiao suggested that people should do more strategies when buying air tickets, so as to save money better.

Where can I book a plane ticket in Britain? 1. Ticket agent reservation point.

There are Chinese travel agencies in cities where Chinese are concentrated in Britain (such as London, Manchester City, Birmingham, Liverpool, Edinburgh, etc.). These travel agencies not only provide special tours, but also help to book hotels, air tickets, train tickets, car rentals, etc. Whether at home or abroad, it is very convenient for China people with poor English or China tourists who come to Britain. Advantages are barrier-free communication, saving time and trouble; Disadvantages are high price and poor selectivity.

In addition to travel agencies in China, there are also specialized travel agencies in Britain.

Agents (travel agencies) are actually very similar to domestic travel agencies. There are chain stores and private companies all over the country. For example, Thomson, Grove Travel and Thomas, which are the most common on the street.

Cook, wait. These trips

The agent's service is similar to that of China Travel Agency. Apart from the products of tourist routes, there are also various air ticket reservations, but the disadvantage is that it is still expensive. In addition to the ticket price, they will also charge a certain handling fee, and there is no Chinese customer service.

2. Air ticket booking website

There are Ctrip, E Long, 1 14 ticketing booking websites in China, as well as in Britain, which are all large global travel websites. Www.expedia.com is the most used one. After getting familiar with this website, it is no problem to travel around the world. One-stop service for air tickets, hotels and car rentals, with many choices and high cost performance. Their family often offers preferential activities, which is the best time to start with cheap air tickets or hotels.

3. Major airlines official website

I used to be a big fan of Ctrip when I was in China. Although they didn't treat me as a VIP(_), I gave them a call when I was traveling, because I was convinced that their price was the cheapest. Because I have always felt that I can't book cheap air tickets in official website, the major airlines didn't realize how stupid they were until they arrived in Britain!

Of course, there are also low-cost airlines in Europe, and it is not necessary to use those expensive airlines that we recognize. However, if we only focus on low-cost airlines, we may miss many good opportunities. For example, British Airways, their air ticket+hotel package is very cheap. This trip to London-Barcelona is based on the package service of British Airways, and the unit price is really cheap.

There are also Turkish Airlines, Emirates Airlines and Qatar Airways. The prices and services are good and they are all worthy of attention.

Tourism products can be divided into peak season and off season, and the prices of off season and off season are quite different. Take air tickets as an example. There are two peak seasons for air tickets in Britain: summer vacation and Christmas.

summer vacation

The summer vacation in Britain generally refers to July-September every year, especially from the beginning of September to the middle of September, when the air ticket to Britain is ridiculously expensive+very tight, and the return air ticket price is generally twice as high as usual. In the past two years, I have chosen to return to China at the end of September. When booking air tickets, I found that the round-trip air ticket of British Airways from London to Chengdu is generally more than 1000 in the peak season, and it has dropped to more than 500 after mid-September. There are two parts of passenger flow during this period. First, domestic students travel abroad. Due to the long summer vacation, many parents use this time to take their children abroad to travel or participate in overseas summer camps. The other group is overseas students returning to China to become the main force this season.

Christmas day

The gradient price of Christmas air tickets generally lasts from 65438+February 20 to half a month after New Year's Day. If you want to plan a Christmas trip or return to China, it is suggested that you start to pay attention to air tickets in 10. Many airlines have launched discount activities, such as the 10% discount code of Expedia 10. Of course,1/0/month does not!

Tips for buying cheap air tickets 1. Plan your trip in advance and book your air tickets at least two months in advance.

As we all know, whether it is air tickets or hotels, the earlier you book, the cheaper it is. This truth is the same at home and abroad. Economist Makoto

Watanabe pointed out that through calculation, he thinks it is best to book tickets two months before the trip, that is, the "eight-week principle."

At the same time, there is another saying about the price of air tickets: Scott, a travel columnist of the Wall Street Journal.

Mccartney found that it is cheapest to book air tickets in the middle of the week, that is, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and air tickets in the afternoon or evening are cheaper than those in the morning. This is not a fabrication, but is based on consumer behavior, psychology and various data analysis. Therefore, for non-official travel, try to arrange it from Tuesday to Thursday, and try to choose an afternoon or evening flight.

2. Pay attention to the discount information of the air ticket booking website.

The air ticket booking websites mentioned here include airlines in official website and travel websites similar to expedia. They will offer some discounts from time to time. For example, the 72-hour lightning promotion is the most common, and the ticket discount is very strong, but once it is missed, it will be gone. However, human time is limited. What if something happens these days and the discount disappears? You can register as a member, and choose to notify the preferential information by email when registering, so that you will receive discount information from major airlines from time to time.

3. Shop around; Shopping around

Needless to say, rational consumers know this. Recommend some websites with the most convenient and reliable air tickets: Skyscanner, Expedia, Opodo, ebookers,

Travelsupermarket, the most direct way is to check the comparison in google. For example, if you want to inquire about air tickets from Londonto Beijing, you can directly enter London to in Google.

Beijing, googleflight will list a series of query results for you, which is very convenient and quick.

4. Multi-line selection

This is more practical for travelers. When making travel plans, you can do more, so that you will not be limited to one route. In case there is no discount on this airline ticket, there are other destinations to choose from.
