Although there is still more than half a month to go before the May Day holiday, from the sales data of various aviation departments and platforms, air ticket bookings during the May Day period have risen in volume and price. According to data provided by flight housekeepers, domestic air ticket orders during the May Day holiday in 2024 increased by 21% compared with May Day in 2023 and 41% compared with 2019. In terms of domestic air fares, the average price of air tickets (economy class) during the May Day period in 2024 was 1040 yuan, an increase of 40 percent over the May Day holiday in 2019 before the epidemic and 80 percent higher than the Qingming Festival holiday in 2024. First financial reporter learned from where to go, the week after the Qingming Festival, "May Day" holiday air ticket bookings gradually ushered in the peak. Since April 6, air ticket bookings in popular cities during the May Day holiday have increased day by day, with a daily increase of 40%. The average price paid for air tickets has reached the level of 2023, and the number of passengers during the May Day holiday is expected to reach a new high. On the Qunar platform, tickets for the morning of May 1 are on sale this week, and the prices of most routes are about 30% discount; some flights on popular routes such as Beijing-Chengdu and Shanghai-Kunming have risen to full price; and popular tourist routes such as Shanghai-Dali and Beijing-Dali have sold out of economy class and have risen to full-price business class. It is worth noting that during the "National Day" Golden week last year, ticket prices plunged 1-2 days before the festival, and some passengers lost half of their ticket money before they traveled. Will this happen again during the May Day holiday this year?
