With the launch of train tickets on New Year's Eve and the rush to buy return tickets, the battle for tickets in Spring Festival has entered a white hot stage. Sometimes for those who are eager to go home, a train ticket to go home is precious enough, so the return train ticket of Spring Festival is also hard to get.
'in terms of booking data, the number of people taking trains has increased significantly this year. "On the one hand, it's directly related to the improvement of railway transportation capacity, but on the other hand, it indirectly causes the shortage of ticket sources for some popular trains. 'trains are still the preferred means of transportation for medium and long-distance travel during the Spring Festival. '
Now, I would like to share some tips on ticket snatching for the return trip of Spring Festival, hoping to help you.
First of all, remember the time of ticket grabbing. There are 21 ticket release time points on 12306 website, that is, from 8:00 to 18:00, new tickets will be available for sale at every full point and half point. You can remember the release time point of your own purchase and be ready for ticket grabbing.
Second, judging from the past years, the direct train tickets between the two places are often robbed quickly. At this time, you may as well adopt the strategy of continuous transfer. If you can't book tickets through the Internet, you can try to buy tickets by phone or by offline window.
Third, keep a close eye on several time nodes. When the tickets are released for 45 minutes on the first day of pre-sale, you may want to refresh 12306 website again. At this time, there may be unpaid tickets returned to the system. The railway head office reminded that at the time nodes of 15 days, 48 hours, 24 hours and 30 minutes before driving, ticket refunds were relatively concentrated, and those who did not get the tickets could seize these time points to 'pick up the leakage'.
In addition, during the Spring Festival, the railway department will also open some temporary passenger trains. You can check the train number information on 12306 website before buying tickets.
Although most people want to choose the train to go home, the status quo of "one ticket is hard to get" makes many people can only "sigh with hope". At the same time, it also directly leads to the popularity of various' curves' on tourism websites. Beiqing news reporter learned that the so-called 'curve' way of returning home is mainly through 'air rail transport' and 'public rail transport' transfer. Take the direction from Wuhan to Harbin on February 13 as an example. If you can't buy a direct train ticket, you can choose to fly from Wuhan to Beijing first, then take the train from Beijing to Harbin, and finally arrive at the destination by 'air rail transport'.
