What's the matter with flying pigs hiding low-priced tickets
On May 31, according to Xinhua Daily, Alibaba's flying pig travel app will automatically 'hide' low-cost tickets. When users buy multi-way tickets on the same line, the price is 3 to 4 times higher than that of other third-party ticket purchase platforms. If they don't buy multi-way tickets and buy them one by one, the low-cost tickets can be displayed.
According to the user's disclosure, first open the plane ticket purchase page in the flying pig travel app, select the ticket from Nanjing (NKG) - Sapporo (SPK) on June 7, exit from Kansai (KIX) to Jeju Island (CJU) on June 13, and then from Jeju Island to Yangzhou (YTY) on June 15. It is found that if the three tickets are purchased through multiple trips, the flying pig app displays a minimum ticket of 9071 yuan.
If you buy these three-way tickets one by one in the flying pig app, the 'hidden' low-cost tickets will appear.
If you buy the first trip from Nanjing (NKG) to Sapporo (SPK) separately, the minimum direct ticket price is 1459 yuan; From KIX to CJU on June 13, the lowest direct ticket price is 516 yuan; On June 15, the direct ticket price from Jeju Island to Yangzhou (YTY) is 586 yuan.
The total cost of the three trips is only 2561 yuan. This price is 6510 yuan cheaper than the total price of multi-way tickets.
Other ticket purchase platforms did not hide low ticket prices
Xinhua daily financial client found that this situation did not appear on other ticket purchase platforms. Enter the same time and starting place. A third-party ticket purchase platform app shows that the minimum price of multi-way tickets is 2669 yuan, which is almost the same as the total price of normal one-way tickets. In other words, at the same time, at the same place of departure and destination, the ticket price of flying pig differs from that of other third-party ticket purchase platforms by 6402 yuan, and the price of flying pig is 3.5 times that of the latter.
They all have the same starting place and departure time, but the total price of multi-way tickets is far higher than the normal one-way ticket purchase price. The reporter consulted the flying pig customer service on this phone, and the other party responded, 'it may be that the airline's service is different, or it may be a setup problem.' He said he would give a reply after the investigation. But as of press time, the flying pig has not given a reply.
