According to CCTV, this year's "May Day" holiday flight bookings started early, and some popular routes on May 1st, such as Beijing to Chengdu, Shanghai to Kunming, and other flights have already reached full price.
In addition, some economy class seats on routes like Shanghai to Dali, Beijing to Dali have also sold out. An industry insider introduced that non-popular routes can be booked at 50-60% off.
Data from Qunar Big Data Research Institute shows that this week, the volume of flight bookings for May Day has been increasing daily, with a daily increase of about 40%. The overall booking volume for this May Day is expected to exceed that of 2023.
Before the May Day holiday, there are 8 consecutive workdays, from Monday, April 22nd to Tuesday, April 30th, with Saturday, April 27th off. After the holiday, there are 6 consecutive workdays, from Monday, May 6th to Saturday, May 11th. This arrangement is due to the May Day holiday being officially designated for only one day off, so a short extended holiday is formed by adjusting the workdays before and after.
