"It's too expensive! "Halfway through the Spring Festival holiday, some people began to be anxious about the return trip. During the Spring Festival this year, a large number of tourists poured into Sanya and Haikou, and the demand for outlying islands exploded in a short period of time, resulting in a shortage of air tickets. Economy class tickets for outlying islands in Sanya, Haikou and other places were sold out, and business class ** exceeded 10,000, even approaching 20,000 yuan. Airlines and travel platforms recommend that tourists return off-peak or avoid direct flights from Sanya. **Breaking 10,000? The return trip is only business class"I came to Sanya from Beijing for more than 1,000 yuan, but I didn't expect to go back to more than 10,000 yuan, it's too expensive! Miss Wu, who was in Sanya, told a reporter from China ** Daily. There are not a few people who have similar experiences with her, and topics such as "Sanya air tickets" and "Sanya return air tickets skyrocketing during the Spring Festival" also once appeared on Weibo hot searches. Some netizens said that because they did not buy a return ticket to Sanya in advance, they can only keep swiping the return ticket to see if anyone changes or refunds the ticket. 
*: Sina Weibo on February 15, the reporter learned from the ** tourism platform query that during the peak return period on February 16 and 17, there was only business class left on the route from Sanya to popular destinations such as Beijing, Wuhan and Shanghai, with a minimum of about 10,000 yuan and a maximum of nearly 20,000 yuan. 
*:* tourism platform in response to this, "Hainan Release"** responded that in 2024, the passenger flow of Hainan will increase significantly, with an overall year-on-year increase of more than 30%, and the air tickets for the island before the Spring Festival and during and after the festival are in short supply, and the peak of the passenger flow out of the island has been reached on the fourth day of the Lunar New YearIt is expected that the peak passenger flow will continue until about the 10th day of the first month. Affected by the relationship between market supply and demand, air tickets during the peak passenger flow period are relatively tight, and air tickets to major domestic destination cities before the seventh day of the Lunar New Year have been basically sold out, and the remaining few air tickets are mainly high-class air tickets. Some airline tickets** are around 10,000 yuan, mainly business class. Sanya: Go all out to ensure the transportation of touristsAccording to the data provided by Sanya Phoenix International Airport before the holiday, during the Spring Festival ** week (February 10 to 17), the airport plans to carry 2,974 flights, and is expected to carry more than 630,000 passengers. "Sanya Release"** issued a reminder on the 15th, suggesting that tourists who have not purchased tickets in advance can travel off-peak or transfer and return from Haikou and Boao to other cities, and Sanya will go all out to ensure the transportation of tourists:
The first is to increase the number of bullet train trains. On the basis of the current 47 pairs of daily trains from Sanya Station to Haikou East Station, Guangzhou Railway Group has added 3 trains from Sanya Station to Meilan Station and Haikou East Station5 pairs, 1 pair via Boao Station.
The second is to increase the number of trips. You can go to Jiefang 2nd Road Bus Terminal to take the Sanya to Haikou line, the operating time is from 6:40 to 18:20, the departure interval is 30-40 minutes, and the bus station will adjust the additional shifts at any time according to the passenger flow.
The third is to choose to take the bus to Sanya Railway Station and Phoenix Airport. Bus lines to and from Sanya Railway Station include No. 4, No. 10, No. 15, No. 17, No. 32, No. 33, No. 35, No. 36, No. 42, No. 49, No. 50, No. 54, No. 55, No. D9, etc.; The routes to and from Phoenix Airport include No. 8, No. 24, No. 27, No. 33, No. 36, No. D9, etc., and the new special line from Narada Sanya Resort to Phoenix Airport will only stop at hotels along the way.
Fourth, choose to take a taxi to Sanya Railway Station, Meilan Airport, and Boao Airport. In addition to booking online car-hailing travel through Yangzhao Cruise Taxi or Platform, you can also make an appointment for a customized cruise taxi by calling the return passenger insurance ***.
Fifth, it provides fast security check services for late-arriving passengers. During the Spring Festival, the airport has a large passenger flow, and the airport company has opened A11, B6, C2 and D18 counters for special passengers and late arrivals.
Sixth, in order to arrive at the airport and railway station smoothly, it is recommended to open AutoNavi and other navigation software when travelingPay attention to the traffic conditions in front of you in real time, adjust the driving route in time according to the navigation prompts, and be sure to reserve sufficient time for driving and entering the station, and go to the airport 2-3 hours in advance to check in.
It is understood that Sanya Phoenix International Airport actively coordinates airlines to increase the capacity of key passenger source routes such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Kunming, Xi'an, and Chongqing. China Southern Airlines, Hainan Airlines, Air China and Sichuan Airlines respectively replaced A350 and other wide-body aircraft to operate the Sanya route.
According to the "Hainan Release", in order to alleviate the tight capacity, the Hainan Provincial Transportation and Tourism Industry Authorities have coordinated with major airlines to increase capacity and switch to wide-body aircraft before the Spring FestivalAt present, Sanya's investment in wide-body aircraft has accounted for 21%. Major airlines are actively working to increase capacity through Haikou Meilan Airport to alleviate capacity constraints as much as possible. During the Spring Festival and subsequent peak tourism seasons, the relevant authorities of Hainan Province will continue to support airlines to provide a higher level of capacity guarantee and actively divert passenger flow. Airline & Platform Recommendations:Avoid direct flights from Sanya and return at staggered peaksAt present, there are far more flights departing from Haikou than Sanya. On February 15, "Hainan Release"** announced that during the peak period of the Spring Festival return from February 14 to 17, Hainan Airlines plans to arrange 110 daily outbound flights in Hainan, including 80 flights per day in Haikou and 27 flights per day in Sanya. Hainan Airlines has deployed sufficient wide-body aircraft capacity to ensure that 34 popular outbound routes per day account for 31% of the total departures, and the destinations of wide-body aircraft routes cover Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Chongqing, Chengdu, Harbin and other hot cities. In this regard, airlines recommend that tourists who have not purchased tickets in advance should try to avoid direct flights from Sanya, and in most cases, it is more feasible to depart from Haikou and Boao than directly from Sanya, and you can also depart from Haikou to nearby cities before transferring. 
Recently, the total cost of flying directly from Sanya to Beijing via high-speed rail to Haikou is about 4,300 yuan. **Travel platform reporter from **travel platform query to see that compared with direct flight, if you choose the transit plan, it is at least 5000-6000 yuan cheaper. For example, on February 16, the flight from Sanya to Beijing and transiting through Chongqing will cost about 4,000 yuan. On February 17, the minimum direct flight from Sanya to Shenyang is about 10,000 yuan, and if you choose to transit through Xi'an, it is less than 5,000 yuan, half cheaper. In addition, if conditions permit, off-peak return is also a strategy. The relevant person in charge of Ctrip told reporters that the return to Beijing during the peak return period from February 16 to 17 will cost at least 10,000 yuan for a direct flight. If you return on February 15 in advance, you can take the high-speed rail from Sanya to Haikou, and then fly directly from Haikou to Beijing, at a cost of about 4,000 yuan. If you can postpone your return trip, it is more cost-effective to apply for one or two days of annual leave after the holiday, considering the work and expenses after the holiday. If you return to Beijing on February 19, it will be about 5,000 yuan cheaper than February 18. Reviewer: Xiong Yonghong Editor: Ya Wenhui Proofreader: Jiao Yuanyuan Producer: Li Ruoyu Signed: Sun Hong
