this year's mid-autumn festival coincides with the first day of train ticket sales for the national day holiday. first financial reporters learned from multiple platforms that train ticket bookings show that this year's national day holiday tourism market is still hot. many tickets for the day before and the first day of the holiday were sold out within 1 hour after the tickets were issued. tickets departing from central cities such as beijing, guangzhou, shenzhen, and shanghai are the most in demand.

domestic air tickets have also been booked. the third-party platform flight manager predicts that during the national day holiday in 2024 (october 1 to 7), the civil aviation industry is expected to carry out a total of 115,000 passenger flights, with an average of more than 16,000 flights per day, a year-on-year increase of 6.2% and a year-on-year increase of 11.2% compared to 2019. the average daily passenger volume is expected to exceed 2.3 million, an increase of 8.3% over the national day holiday in 2023.

it is worth noting that on the eve of last year’s national day holiday, many netizens complained on social media that they had bought national day air tickets in advance at an expensive price, and found that the ticket prices suddenly dropped when they were about to travel. now that the national day holiday is approaching again, will this situation happen again?

according to the reporter, compared with the same period last year, the average price of this year's national day air tickets has generally declined. according to statistics from flight steward, as of mid-september, the average domestic economy class ticket price has dropped by 21% year-on-year.

this is similar to the trend of summer travel. this year's summer travel market continued the boom of last year, but not all companies benefited from it. some large and medium-sized airlines revealed that the ticket prices for this year's summer travel are far lower than last year. many routes have slightly increased their fares, and passengers have turned to high-speed rail.
