National Day Railway Ticket Opening Hot Line "One Ticket Is Hard to Find"

On September 2, 2019 National Day train tickets will be officially sold. Visiting relatives and friends, traveling abroad... As the peak period of travel, the train tickets during the National Day of the past year often appear "one ticket is hard to get". Which line tickets are the most tense? How to seize the opportunity of gold leak detection? Let's get to know it!

National Day train tickets will be on sale tomorrow. Tickets on many popular lines are in great demand.

According to the 30-day booking period of Internet and telephone tickets, train tickets for the Eleventh National Day will be officially sold from tomorrow (September 2), and return tickets for October 6 and 7 will be issued on September 7 and 8 respectively. It should be noted that due to the pre-sale period of 28 days at the railway station ticket window and the agent's outlet, the time for ticket purchase at the window should be postponed by 2 days in turn. Because the National Day holiday is the peak time for returning home to visit relatives and travel, the difficulty of getting tickets for some trains is comparable to that of the Spring Festival.

In the afternoon of August 31, I logged on 12306 website to inquire about ticket sales, and found that tickets on many routes from Beijing to Zhengzhou, Beijing to Shenyang, Beijing to Jinan and so on were all tense. 12306 website shows that most of the tickets on September 29 have been sold out or only a small number of spare tickets, especially for high-speed rail and EMU trains. Take Beijing-Jinan high-speed rail and EMU trains as an example. On September 29, only a few trains arrived in the early morning of the next day with spare tickets; on Beijing-Zhengzhou high-speed rail and EMU trains, there were no spare tickets in the morning.

What time points are most likely to "pick up leaks"?

Although "one ticket is hard to get" for the National Day holiday train tickets, the vast number of passengers still have a lot of "leak detection" opportunities to pay attention to. Railway authorities suggest that passengers can use the free "stand-by ticket" function in China Railway 12306 website and App to "pick up leaks" to buy tickets. A passenger can choose four trains in the same section to buy tickets on standby at the same time. The success rate and convenience of using the standby function of "leak detection" are higher than queuing at the ticket window of the station.

In addition, according to past experience, 15 days before driving is the peak period of refund, followed by 1 to 2 days before driving. At this time, some passengers will refund tickets due to changes in travel, especially between 10:00 and 11:00 p.m., which is the peak period of refund.

Finally, before driving, the ticketing system often releases part of the remaining tickets, which is suitable for people who can walk away.

Diversified travel options Daxing International Airport will be open to navigation

In addition to the traditional railway, in recent years, more and more people choose to travel by air. It is worth mentioning that Beijing Daxing International Airport will be officially opened on September 30, which also provides many passengers with new travel options.

At the same time, Nanyuan Airport will also end its historical mission. All flights of China United Airlines will be transferred to Beijing Daxing International Airport. At present, tickets from Beijing Daxing International Airport have been sold. Before Beijing Daxing International Airport is put into operation, China United Airlines will take the lead in its overall presence. The tickets issued by China United Airlines platforms after September 30, 2019 have been changed from Beijing Nanyuan Airport to Beijing Daxing International Airport.

In addition, according to media reports, some domestic and international flights taking off from Beijing Daxing International Airport also have certain advantages in price due to the reasons of route pricing and ticket including services, which will also bring more choices and benefits to passengers.
