Is there a priority for waitlists? Detailed explanation of ticket purchase strategy
Abstract:With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, railway transportation has become an important means of transportation.
However, during peak periods such as the Spring and Summer Holidays, the supply and demand of railways remain very tight.
In order to increase the success rate of purchasing air tickets, many passengers will book air tickets online.
However, some passengers, when purchasing a ticket, find that ** is displayed on the **"Alternate"items, and the tickets you want to buy have been sold out.
Is it more advantageous than queuing for tickets? In accordance with the relevant regulations of the state, the Ministry of Railways will provide tickets in a timely manner according to the needs of passenger flow.
However, at the time of the invoice, it was not clearly stated that priority should be given to passengers on the waiting list.
In fact, the order in which tickets are purchased depends on when, how, and what type of tickets are purchased.
Specifically, if there are multiple bookings at the same time, the first customer to make a purchase request will be at the head of the line, while those who have not made a request will be at the bottom of the line.
However, if more than one person requests to purchase tickets at the same time, the system will sort them according to different purchase methods and different types of tickets.
For example, if more than one person uses 12306 to purchase a ticket at the same time, there is"Ticket purchase is automatic"and other characteristics will be the first in line, while those who have purchased tickets by hand will be in the last line.
Also, for:"Soft sleeper"，"Hard sleeper"，"Hard seat"These types of tickets, according to their regulations, will be classified into different types of tickets.
So it can be said that the passengers waiting to buy tickets are not the most important at the moment.
However, if you don't get a ticket, you can increase the success rate of buying a ticket by waiting in line.
Waiting to purchase means that you choose a waiting period and if the system finds that there is a ticket left, it will be automatically purchased for the passenger.
Although this method does not necessarily guarantee the purchase of tickets, it still has certain advantages over manual purchases.
To put it simply, the order in which tickets are purchased is determined by a combination of factors, and there are no clear rules that allow passengers on the waiting list to receive preferential treatment.
Therefore, people who want to travel should be well prepared, obtain ticket information from multiple sources, and try multiple methods to buy tickets, which will be a very effective method.
