Summary of saving money by purchasing air tickets
1. Transfer tickets are preferred. It is cheaper to buy a round-trip ticket than to buy an extra one-way ticket. Under normal circumstances, you don't need to bring your own luggage for multiple ticket transfers. When purchasing tickets separately, only two companies signed a baggage transportation agreement, which met the baggage consignment conditions.
2. Choose the best time for off-peak travel. Traveling abroad in the off-season is a good choice. The peak season is winter and summer vacation, Spring Festival and various festivals and festivals. It's best to book a plane ticket two months in advance. March, April, September,165438+1October are the best time for peak-shifting tourism. You can book air tickets 30 to 40 days in advance.
When is the cheapest ticket for China Southern Airlines?
There are two ways to buy a plane ticket. The first type is cash air tickets, which are purchased in cash through airlines or ota (Ctrip or Flying Pig). The second is to redeem air miles. Compared with the two, of course, it is cheaper to exchange air miles.
The first case is to buy cash tickets, and the following cases are cheaper. 1, the membership days of major airlines, such as Hainan Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, Spring Airlines, China Southern Airlines and Air China, are on the 8th of each month, 18, 27th of each month, 28th of each month, respectively.
2. Try to buy on the Flying Pig (Ma Yunkai) platform. . Because buying a plane ticket on the flying pig can also accumulate flying pig membership points. When the points are accumulated to a certain amount, the membership level will be accumulated (F 1, F2 and F3 represent the level, and F3 is the highest. F3 can be used to match senior members of many airlines and five-star hotels. So buy a ticket on the flying pig, kill two birds with one stone.
3, find airline employees, they have employee prices.
4. The prices of some airlines will be wrongly marked due to system bugs. For example, the first class of China Eastern Airlines took place in June last year 165438+ 10, and was sold at a discount of 0. 1. If you happen to buy it, it's really profitable.
In the second case, air miles are exchanged for air tickets.
First, I have to choose an airline to accumulate mileage. I chose China Southern Airlines in Shenzhen.
Secondly, we must figure out how to get air miles. Air mileage is mainly accumulated by flying or credit card consumption.
Third, when the air mileage accumulates to a certain amount, you can exchange free air tickets at the airline. For example, for China Southern Airlines, a ticket from Beijing to Shenzhen needs10.5 million air miles (standard exchange). After all, there are still a few people flying every year, so it is a good choice to choose a credit card and accumulate air miles (recommended airline joint card, CITIC, Guangfa.
Finally, you need to be prepared to exchange miles for air tickets in advance, because the number of convertible seats on each flight of airlines is very small. Especially during the Chinese New Year or holidays, it is impossible to redeem successfully without a few months in advance.
Air mileage can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences. You are welcome to leave me a message and tell me your concerns.
