Recently, netizen Miss Dong posted on social ** that she found that the air ticket ** between Chengdu and Hangzhou was upside down. She was shocked by this, because when she searched for the lowest flight from Chengdu to Hangzhou in early February**, it only cost 145 yuan! That's a lot lower than the multiple tickets she'd bought before**. On the contrary, the lowest air ticket from Hangzhou to Chengdu during the same period was as high as 1,600 yuan,** which is not surprising.
This phenomenon of "reverse Spring Festival" surprised many netizens, because in the past few days, the air ticket from Chengdu, Kunming, Wuhan and other places to Hangzhou** is only more than 100 yuan!
Manager Ma, an insider in the airline industry, explained the reasons behind this phenomenon to the Orange Persimmon Interactive reporter. He said that this actually reflects the supply and demand relationship in the Spring Festival market. As a simple example, passengers who fly out usually do not return on the same day, so in order to avoid the situation of "full air" flights, airlines will discount ** to promote sales, and try to sell space to make up for potential losses.
A similar situation is the annual winter of "migratory birds". Many people want to fly to Hainan for the Chinese New Year, which has led to a rise in air tickets from Hainan to other places; However, the number of flights returning from Hainan is relatively small, which has led to a decrease in return tickets**.
This "upside down" phenomenon brings some convenience to travelers, especially those who have the flexibility to plan their itineraries, and they can take advantage of these lower fares to arrange more affordable travel plans. But at the same time, it is also a reminder to pay attention to timing and volatility when choosing a ticket to make the most of the opportunities presented by this market change.
