according to the relevant person in charge of a travel agency in Ji'nan, the ticket of these hot routes in the past year will also launch a certain discount in the peak season, the maximum can be hit to about 40 percent off. "Our travel agency can get a relatively low discount, but about 50 percent off of the online ticket prices, like this year, are rare before, and there has been no such situation in the past few years."
the person in charge said that with the improvement of the high speed rail between cities, especially the opening of the Beijing Guangzhou high speed rail, the travel time from Beijing to Guangzhou will be reduced to more than 8 hours, and it will take only 8 hours at the fastest. Coupled with the advantages of high speed rail in terms of price and riding comfort, a large part of the airline customers are not particularly demanding on time.
"now many travel agencies have launched a more expensive high-speed rail tour group, aviation is no longer the only choice for high-end tourism. For some non long lines, tourists are also more inclined to choose high-speed rail or motor cars. Now the connection between high-speed rail and urban rail transit and bus system is better, which also makes many free travellers more inclined to choose high-speed rail travel.

These factors also cause many popular tourist routes ticket prices do not rise or fall. One airline's staff in charge of sales said that the competition of the airlines is very fierce now, and the company's discount ticket is also more frequent than before.
