Let me tell you several big websites that you can visit frequently to book tickets. You can actually buy one-tenth price air tickets in peak seasons on these websites. It all depends on whether you know how to use these resources. Nowadays, most trips are by plane because the air ticket is cheaper than the train ticket. Hehe. First of all, QQ CFTONG and China Southern Airlines have cooperated. The special offer tickets on CFTONG are usually less than one-tenth price. http://qq.csair.com On this website, the tickets from Beijing to Haikou and Sanya, and from Haikou and Sanya to Beijing are 130 yuan. The tickets from Guangzhou to Xian, Xian to Guangzhou, Guangzhou to Wuxi, Wuxi to Guangzhou, Nanjing to Guangzhou, and Shanghai to Changchun etc. are 90 yuan. How about these prices? Tencent QQ and China Southern Airlines will not fake, right? I also recommend a website which offers one-tenth price air tickets: http://www.xixii.cn. The condition for one-tenth price is that you need to book at least one month in advance. If it's less than one month, you can get two or three-tenths price tickets. One bad thing is that they charge 50 yuan service fee. I once booked 80-yuan tickets from Nanning to Haikou and 106-yuan tickets from Kunming to Haikou. I accepted the 50-yuan service fee as one-tenth price tickets with an extra 50 yuan is still fine. Secondly, for students in Shanghai, I've been to Shanghai four times and basically took Spring Airlines which is cheap: http://www.china-sss.com. This airline is based in Shanghai and many cities have fixed prices. For example, Qingdao and Shanghai, Wuhan and Shanghai etc. are all 99 yuan. The price between Haikou and Shanghai is 299 yuan. I can't stand this airline as it often delays, has small seats and small planes. What makes me even more unbearable is that there are no pretty flight attendants! So it saves a lot of costs and the air tickets are very cheap. The service above is self-service, but cheap. I went to Shanghai four times just to take the maglev train for forty yuan. Finally, let me tell you two cheap air ticket search engines: http://www.qunar.com and www.kuxun.cn. On these websites, you can find the cheapest air ticket time and all the cheapest air tickets on the designated date. Even if you don't know any cheap air tickets or the websites I provided don't have the air tickets you want, you can still find cheap air tickets on these two websites. We are all spending our parents' money, so save as much as we can. A little more effort can save you a lot of money. HNA website also often releases cheap air tickets: http://www.hnair.com. I once booked round-trip tickets from Beijing to Seattle for only 2580 yuan, round-trip tickets from Beijing to Tokyo for 1000 yuan, and round-trip tickets from Beijing to Berlin for my father's recent trip to Germany for 3000 yuan. All these tickets were booked online by me. My father is about to go to Singapore and Malaysia. I helped him book round-trip tickets from Haikou to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for only 136 yuan and round-trip tickets from Haikou to Singapore for 400 yuan. Therefore, I said in my QQ signature that I would go to Singapore and Malaysia this year. Budgeting for these two countries, the airfare won't exceed one thousand yuan. My most amazing experience was that my friend knew, from Kunming to Nanning, then to Zhanjiang, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and back to Haikou, I spent a total of six hundred yuan. Because I only travel when there are one-tenth price tickets, spending the least amount of money, even cheaper than the train, let's travel together. Welcome to share so that more people can enjoy cheap air tickets. Also, please reply to thank me if you successfully book cheap air tickets, and treat me to dinner. Li Min, Chongqing discount air tickets, I saved you one thousand yuan for the flight from Beijing to Haikou. Don't you think you should treat me to an 88-yuan buffet at Gold Hotel when you return to Haikou? Finally, I remind everyone: your bank card needs to activate online banking, as most of the cheap air tickets require online payment. Many people ask: why are the air tickets sold at those places more expensive than online? Because they want to make money from you. I'm tired, wrote this on my phone until my hand went numb. Thank a classmate in Paris for providing me with a good website, European students can use: www.jetcost.com, where you can book one-euro tickets from Paris to Frankfurt. Go to Europe!

Of course, the wool comes from the sheep. As the saying goes, 'a penny for a penny', these low-cost airlines provide such cheap and preferential air tickets, and effectively 'reduce costs' and 'increase additional revenue' are the main ways to improve the company's performance. Taking low-cost airlines will change your concept and understanding of 'traditional airlines'. Here are some differences for your reference: In terms of increasing 'additional revenue': 1. No free meals: What to do if you're hungry? Just pick up the menu in front of you and order directly from the flight attendant! However, these are all extra charges, and the food content is mostly simple sandwiches and Coca-Cola. The general price is between $5-10 USD. 2. No free audio-visual entertainment equipment: Want to watch movies or listen to music? You can rent relevant facilities, priced between $10-15 USD. You can also carry your own audio-visual equipment (such as iPod) on board. 3. Narrower activity space on board: To increase revenue, reduce public activity areas, and increase the number of seats on the flight, this is one of the characteristics of low-cost airlines. Once you enter the cabin, you will find that except for the central aisle where the flight attendants serve, the rest of the space is filled with seats. Although the activity space is smaller, if you're lucky and the passenger load on that flight is not high, after the passengers are seated, the empty seats become the most comfortable 'bed'. 4. Landing in non-primary cities: Low-cost airlines choose landing points, except for popular routes, many routes are 'non-popular routes', landing in non-primary cities. Take Tiger Airways as an example, the company's flights to Australia currently only land in 'Darwin' and 'Perth'. As for the popular East Coast cities 'Sydney' and 'Melbourne', apart from the issue of air rights, the main reason is that the governments of 'Darwin' and 'Perth' aim to stimulate tourism, offering discounted airport usage fees to airlines flying to local destinations. Local tourism operators (casinos) and governments even offer mutual benefits and various compensation measures, which is an additional source of income for the company. ? Precautions when choosing low-cost airlines: 1. Avoid changing itinerary: 'Low-cost tickets' are also known as 'planned tickets', therefore, it's best to carefully consider your itinerary before purchasing tickets, because if you temporarily change the time and location, the airline will charge additional 'handling fees'. Sometimes the value of the 'handling fee' exceeds the initial purchase cost ('ticket and various taxes'), so try not to change if possible, otherwise 'low-cost tickets' may also become 'not low-cost'! 2. Non-refundable once purchased: Most low-cost airlines do not offer 'refund services', mainly because the ticket prices provided by these airlines are already much lower than the 'market price', sometimes even 'free tickets' (how could the airline refund you?), so these airlines do not offer 'refund services'. Of course, some airlines may require customers to convert their 'refunds' into 'customer credit limits', which can be deducted next time they purchase tickets (this is rare), if you really cannot continue your planned trip, either waste it or suggest changing your itinerary (the additional costs incurred may be cheaper than repurchasing), as for 'airport tax', 'war risk insurance' and other tax fees, they cannot be refunded, this must be reminded to everyone. 3. Check-in early: Low-cost airlines offer equal services without 'class' differences, open seating selection, first come first served. Therefore, if you want a comfortable seat, avoid choosing the front positions, it's recommended to check-in early. Usually, the rear positions have fewer people sitting, after the plane takes off, if the adjacent seat is unoccupied, you can 'lie down and rest' all the way to your destination! 4. Luggage weight limit: The most troubling aspect of low-cost airlines is probably the 'luggage weight limit'. The luggage weight limit is around 15-20KG (actually similar to regular airlines, just less flexible). Once overweight, you must pay extra to check in your luggage, so it's best to plan the weight of your luggage in advance. 5. Online booking security: Most 'low-cost tickets' are purchased through online transactions (considerations for airlines to reduce costs), so the 'security' of online bookings is what many backpackers worry about. Most low-cost airlines have proper handling methods for 'online transactions', but of course, accidents (hacker intrusions) can happen. If you're really worried about the safety of online transactions, I suggest personally calling (or sending an email) to inquire about cash payment options. Such practices relatively cannot get the discounted prices of online bookings, it's up to personal preference! 6. Flight safety accidents: Many people have the misconception that 'low-cost' = 'unsafe' for low-cost airlines. Strictly speaking, this concern might be excessive. Although low-cost airlines may purchase older aircraft models to reduce costs, human life is paramount, and no airline would joke with passengers' lives. The issue of flight safety does not lie in whether the aircraft model is old or not, but in whether 'safety maintenance' is thoroughly implemented. Therefore, the misconception of 'low-cost' = 'unsafe' should be dispelled. Here's an interesting statistic for your reference: the global accident rate of low-cost airlines is only 0.7 per million (safety is unquestionable), but the recent air crash of Indonesia's 'Adam Air' (2007 01 01) has cast a shadow over the flight safety of 'low-cost airlines'.
