△ The picture is taken from the comments of Sina Weibo netizens
According to reports, on April 26, Feichang Zhun released data that the total number of takeoffs and landings at domestic airports during the May Day holiday in 2024 is expected to increase by 8.99% compared with the May Day holiday in 2023 and 36.2% compared with 2019 - this year's "May Day" holiday Chinese civil aviation will break last year's record and usher in the busiest "May Day" holiday in history.
However, some "contrary to common sense" is that the "May Day" holiday air tickets were temporarily reduced, and the average price of domestic economy class air tickets during the "May Day" holiday in the past 7 days was 852 yuan (excluding tax), down 1.13% year-on-year, and down 22% from the average price in the previous 7 days. The price of air tickets has temporarily dived, making consumers who bought tickets in advance cry out for losses.

The increase in capacity of airlines and the diversion of civil aviation passenger flow by high-speed rail are the reasons for the temporary plunge in air ticket prices
According to the analysis of people in the civil aviation industry, there seems to be a contradiction between "busy" and "price reduction", but there is actually an internal connection. It is the practice of airlines to adjust capacity and increase flight volume during holidays. It is precisely because the airlines have added too much capacity that the supply exceeds demand, and there are still many seats that have not been sold during the upcoming holidays, so the temporary price adjustment promotion can sell one is one.
In fact, this temporary dive in holiday ticket prices will begin to be more obvious in 2023. Because the tourism market has recovered and the situation is very good, airlines are desperately increasing capacity, and as a result, they accidentally exceed market demand.
In addition to the factors of airlines increasing capacity, the diversion of civil aviation passenger flow by high-speed rail is also the reason why the plane is not full, resulting in a temporary plunge in air ticket prices. As more and more new high-speed rail lines have been put into use across the country in recent years, civil aviation on many lines is facing fierce competition from high-speed rail.
Netizens are hotly discussed
Regarding the "diving" of the ticket price, some netizens said that they were congested when they bought it, some netizens said that they just picked up a bargain, and some netizens said that it was cost-effective to refund and rebuy even if the handling fee was deducted.
Bo kisses the world: I just bought a ticket yesterday, and today you reduced the price and paid 300 more, speechless.
Qianyuxin: I bought it a day later, it was two-thirds cheaper, and I haven't bought it on the return trip, so I feel like it can be cheaper, hehe.
Mink Ming: I resolutely refunded and repurchased, even if the airline deducted the refund fee, I could still save two or three hundred.
Some netizens said that self-driving and high-speed rail have diverted the source of passengers, and it is normal for ticket prices to be reduced to "solicit customers".
Paul Smith said: Self-driving, high-speed rail, trains, air tickets are not cheap, who wants to go all the way to the airport to wait for a few hours, and then get off the plane to call someone to pick up.
Pipiru: It's a good thing, for ordinary people, it shows that there is still room for air tickets. Why every time we go out to play together, it hurts my nerves, mainly because of the air ticket. Isn't it good that my money is well spent?
Some netizens reminded them not to forget to plan for the return ticket.
