beijing news shell finance news (reporter xu qian) the drama of "diving" in air ticket prices during this year's national day holiday has been staged again.

on september 28, reporters found on xiaohongshu, weibo and other platforms that many netizens found that their original air tickets were "too expensive" after comparison. for example, a netizen posted that he bought a ticket from ningbo to haikou on september 30. the total price including fuel cost was 1,435 yuan. as a result, the unit price of the ticket has now dropped to 700 yuan, which is almost half the difference.

this morning, the reporter inquired about air tickets from ningbo to haikou. the fare showed that the economy class ticket with a 53% discount on sunday was 935 yuan, the economy class ticket with a 49% discount on october 1 was 860 yuan, and the ticket on october 3rd during the national day holiday the price was reduced to 370 yuan.

at the same time, air ticket price reductions during the national day holiday are indeed even greater. for example, a reporter checked today and found that the lowest price for economy class air tickets from shanghai to sanya on october 1 was 810 yuan, on october 3 it was 530 yuan, and on october 4 it was only 230 yuan, which is equivalent to a 0.20% discount.

data provided by hanglv zongheng shows that during the national day holiday in 2024 (october 1 to october 7), the number of civil aviation passengers nationwide is expected to exceed 15.65 million, with the average daily passenger volume reaching 2.23 million. compared with the national day holiday in 2023, an increase of 7% and a year-on-year increase of 19% in 2019.

according to qunar big data, as of now, the average paid price of domestic air tickets has dropped by nearly 20% year-on-year, but is still at a high level. it predicts that there is still room for decline in air ticket prices. economy class can be purchased at a 50-40% discount on routes from big cities to tourist cities. business routes with more flights (between beijing, shanghai, guangzhou, shenzhen and chengdu) routes) can be purchased at around 40% off.
