How to plan the reunion road when the ticket is lost？ Curve home, reverse family visit

　　Beijing, Jan 23rd (Leng Haoyang) In 2018, Spring Festival travel rush’s "ticket grabbing war" is still hot. However, for the passengers who haven’t grabbed the train tickets, they can find another way to re-plan their Spring Festival reunion. At this time, while paying attention to the "missing" of the remaining tickets, such passengers can also skillfully use air-rail combined transport, continuous transfer, network hitchhiking, reverse family visits and other measures to "curve" reunion.

　　Always pay attention to the remaining tickets and prepare for "missing"

　　For passengers who haven’t grabbed their tickets, according to the introduction of the railway department, we can pay attention to several time points when there are more refunds.

　　First, 30 minutes after the ticket is sold, if a passenger fails to pay in time after successfully grabbing the ticket, these ticket sources will return to the ticket warehouse after 30 minutes;

　　Second, on the 15th day before driving, according to the relevant regulations on railway refund, refund fees are not charged for those who refund tickets more than 15 days before driving, and passengers with uncertain trips often choose this time node to apply for refund.

　　The third is one to two days before driving. At this time, passengers who occupy tickets can basically determine the itinerary, especially from 22: 00 to 23: 00, which is the peak time for passengers to refund their tickets;

　　Fourth, before driving, the system will release some of the remaining tickets, and passengers who have not grabbed the tickets can "catch up" at this time.

　　In addition, the reporter noticed that some trains temporarily stopped selling tickets due to map adjustment, and some temporary passenger trains were added by the railway department. Passengers who did not grab tickets can pay more attention to the ticketing time of such trains in order to grab tickets at the first time.

　　Clever use of air-rail combined transport can "curve home"

　　In Spring Festival travel rush, long-distance train tickets are generally "one ticket is hard to find". In this regard, passengers can re-plan the route, air-rail combined transport, and curve home.

　　Nowadays, many airlines and railway departments have launched air-rail combined transport, flying to cities near their destinations first, and then transferring to high-speed trains to go home, or taking a high-speed train first, and then transferring to planes to fly to their destinations.

　　As for the cost, compared with the railway and Spring Festival travel rush, there will be some situations in air transportation where the capacity of some routes is relatively sufficient and the discount is large. Choosing air-rail combined transport is not only easy to buy tickets but also affordable.

　　Taking Beijing to Ningbo as an example, the reporter’s inquiry showed that on February 14th (the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month), not only was it hard to get a train ticket, but it also cost more than 1,000 yuan to fly. If you fly to Shanghai first on February 14th, the cheapest air ticket is only 400 yuan, and then transfer to a high-speed train with a price of 100 yuan, the whole journey will only take you around 600 yuan, which not only reduces the difficulty of purchasing tickets, but also makes it more cost-effective.

　　Try "connecting and transferring" and buy more stops.

　　The recommendation of the "continuous transfer" scheme introduced by the railway department last year can also reduce the difficulty for passengers to purchase tickets. When passengers can’t buy through tickets, they can choose the "continuous transfer" function, and the ticketing system will show passengers the remaining tickets of some trains that transfer once on the way. If passengers choose to buy, they can complete the payment of tickets for two trips at one time.

　　The reporter inquired about the train ticket from Beijing to Lanzhou on February 14 at the 12306 client, and found that there were only 8 trains a day on this line, and there were no tickets left. The reporter also inquired about the tickets from Beijing to Xi ‘an on the same day, and found that among the 32 trains, some high-speed trains still have tickets available for purchase.

　　The reporter also inquired about the tickets from Xi ‘an to Lanzhou, and found that there were 76 trains on February 14th, and there were still many tickets left. If you transfer home in this way, it will make it easier for passengers to buy tickets.

　　In addition, passengers can also try to buy more stops. According to the principle of "ensuring long distance" of the railway department, passengers can try to buy a few stops backwards when purchasing tickets, and get off early, or try to buy tickets from the previous stops to increase the chances of buying their favorite tickets.

　　You can choose a long-distance "ride" and pay attention to safety.

　　In recent years, the rise of long-distance "hitchhiking" has also greatly facilitated passengers’ way home during the Spring Festival.

　　Zhang Peng works in Beijing and lives in Jiyuan, Henan. Zhang Peng said that although the distance is not far, there is no direct high-speed train, and there are only five trains a day, which takes about 10 hours. If you choose to take the high-speed train to Zhengzhou and then transfer, on the one hand, it is not easy to buy tickets, on the other hand, it is more troublesome.

　　Zhang Peng told the reporter of Zhongxin. com that he has been a frequent visitor to the long-distance ride. He used the ride to return home during the 11th holiday last year, and he still plans to take the ride this Spring Festival. Although the fare of more than 300 yuan is twice as high as 178 yuan for a hard sleeper, it is convenient and worry-free.

　　On the client side of a network car, just select the "cross-city" option in the "Ride" interface, then enter the departure time, departure place and destination to get a car, and you can also see the estimated price. From Fuchengmen, Beijing to Jiyuan Bus Station, the estimated cost is 341.8 yuan.

　　The safety of the network car has also been concerned. In this regard, the police reminded that when taking a car online, it is best to write down the license plate number before getting on the bus. It is best not to carpool with people you don’t know and share your position with relatives and friends at any time. In case of danger, you should keep calm and call the police in time.

　　"reverse visiting relatives" to realize another kind of reunion

　　Wang Bo, a native of Harbin, has worked in Beijing for three years. In the previous two years, he was a member of Spring Festival travel rush’s "ticket grabbing army", but he plans to invite his parents to Beijing for the New Year this year.

　　Wang Bo told the reporter of Zhongxin. com that going home every year is very "heart-tired". Tickets are too difficult to grab, and it is inevitable to visit relatives and friends when going home. It has become a luxury to take advantage of the Spring Festival holiday to have a good rest.

　　"My father has always wanted to come to the National Centre for the Performing Arts to watch a performance, just taking advantage of the Spring Festival to take his parents around Beijing. During the Spring Festival, there are fewer Beijingers, and a family of three can have a good year in Beijing quietly." Wang Bo said.

　　In this regard, the reporter inquired about the train ticket from Beijing to Harbin on February 14 and found that "one ticket is hard to find", and even the economy class of the plane is not much left. However, if there is a "reverse reunion", the ticket source from Harbin to Beijing is sufficient, and the minimum flight cost is only 200 yuan. (End)
