Tips for purchasing return tickets for Spring Festival 2018
4hw.com.cn: every year, there is a hard ticket in the Spring Festival. In addition to the hard ticket to go home, the return ticket is also hard. But don't worry. I have the skills of picking up the missing ticket and robbing the ticket in the Spring Festival to help you have a smooth journey.
Spring Festival train tickets ushered in the high tide of refund
It is worth mentioning that, while the return tickets are on sale after the festival, the popular tickets in the days before New Year's Eve will also have a refund peak this week. Passengers who do not buy the pre Festival tickets should not miss this opportunity to "pick up the leakage".
According to the regulations of the railway department, January 26 and 30 are the deadlines for free refund of tickets on the 25th day of the lunar month and the new year's Eve, respectively. In the early stage, some passengers may hoard tickets of multiple trains because their itinerary cannot be determined. According to previous years' experience, this week will usher in a wave of high tide of ticket refund before the festival.
In addition, 48 hours and 24 hours before driving are also good opportunities for 'leakage detection'. The ticket system often releases some of the remaining tickets.
For passengers who have not yet bought tickets for returning home during the Spring Festival, they can pay attention to the deadline for free refund of tickets on that day according to the determined travel date and make a plan of "leakage detection".
In addition, some trains previously displayed in the ticketing system as "train diagram adjustment, suspension of sale" train number, may also be opened for sale at any time.
