During the Qingming Festival holiday, holiday travel is hot, and hiking and flower viewing drive the growth of passenger flow in multiple cities

With the warming temperatures in most parts of China in March, it is the best season for flower viewing and hiking. The Qingming Festival holiday is linked to weekends, and many travelers choose to travel together a week in advance to arrange a "spring break" for themselves, driving the trend of civil aviation travel.

According to the big data of Hanglv Zongheng, as of March 6th, from March 28th to April 6th, the booking volume of air tickets in multiple cities in China has generally increased compared to last year. Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Kunming, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Xi'an, Nanjing and other cities are the hottest. The booking volume of air tickets in cities suitable for spring outings such as Wuxi, Jieyang, Zhangjiajie, Yichang, and Luoyang has increased significantly year-on-year, with Wuxi and Zhangjiajie both increasing by over 20% year-on-year, becoming popular choices for Qingming outings. The ticket sales of some niche destinations have risen against the trend. The ticket sales of Xichang, Tengchong, Shaxian, Mount Wuyi, Panzhihua and other cities have increased significantly year on year, which may become the "dark horse" destinations for this Tomb Sweeping Day holiday.

In terms of ticket prices, the official direct sales platform of Hanglv Zongheng Civil Aviation shows that after March 28th, ticket prices for many popular routes such as Beijing Kunming, Beijing Nanjing, and Beijing Hangzhou have all rebounded. It is worth noting that some passengers have recently noticed a price reduction in their flight tickets after purchasing them. Li Haoying, the person in charge of the operation of the official direct sales platform of Hanglv Zongheng Civil Aviation, said, "As the season of flights approaches, prices change rapidly at different times, and such situations may occur." She suggested that passengers pay attention to the ticket products with the "buy expensive and refund" logo on the Hanglv Zongheng platform when purchasing tickets, and can purchase new low-priced tickets within 24 hours of ticket issuance, effectively reducing travel costs caused by price fluctuations.
