Air tickets as low as 30 yuan

It is understood that in previous years, air ticket prices would "dive" to around 30% to 40% off after the Spring Festival, but this year compared with the same period last year, air ticket prices are as low as 20% off.
On February 29, the China Business Network client checked third-party ticket purchasing software such as Qunar, Ctrip, and Fliggy and found that in March, the lowest airfares on many routes were less than 100 yuan. Especially for flights with Chongqing as the destination, the price is as low as 30 yuan. For example, on the Qunar travel app, the lowest economy class price (excluding airport construction and fuel surcharges) for Shandong Airlines flight SC4346 from Shenzhen to Chongqing on March 1 was only 30 yuan, a discount of 0.2% of the full fare. On that day, the lowest airfare for the same route shown on Ctrip and Fliggy was 50 yuan.
In addition, in March, flights departing from cities such as Beijing and Shanghai also appeared at "dirt cheap" prices of around 10% off. For example, the Qunar travel app shows that on March 10, the lowest ticket price for Shandong Airlines flight SC7093 from Beijing to Kunming is 259 yuan, a discount of 10% of the full economy class ticket. On that day, the lowest fares for Sichuan Airlines 3U8723, Kunming Airlines KY1403, Air China CA1403 and other flights were only about 10% off the full economy class ticket, at 260 yuan, 275 yuan and 280 yuan respectively.
Overseas flights gradually resume
At present, in addition to the significant reduction in domestic air ticket prices, overseas flights are also gradually resuming. Data provided by Ctrip's "Air Tickets, Train Tickets + Hotels" search engine shows that many domestic and international flights have announced that they will resume one after another. For example, Air China has resumed flights from Chengdu to Frankfurt and Chengdu to Singapore; Egypt Air has resumed round-trip flights from Cairo to Beijing and Cairo to Guangzhou since February 27; and Sichuan Airlines will resume flights from Chengdu to Tokyo and Chengdu to Cairo at the end of February.

Information released by the Civil Aviation Administration of China shows that in the coming week (March 2-8), regular flights will be maintained between 111 overseas destinations in 50 countries among the 75 countries with air links and domestic destinations in China. A total of 2,304 round-trip flights (1,479 passenger flights and 825 all-cargo flights) are planned for that week.
Huang Qing, head of Ctrip's Global Visa Service Center, predicts that more and more countries will gradually relax restrictions. He said: "It is still an important moment for the prevention and control of the COVID-19 pandemic. When leaving the country, we must take protective measures, abide by relevant national policies, and cooperate with entry and exit management.
