On September 30, someone spent more than 5,000 yuan on a refund and rebooking of a ticket during the holidays and became a hot search topic, attracting attention. Just as the journey is about to begin, many passengers are complaining on social media that the tickets purchased in advance have been significantly reduced in price before they even set off.

For example, one netizen complained that he booked a flight from Kunming to Taiyuan on September 29 20 days in advance. The round-trip price for two people was more than 4,800 yuan. But when he looked at it recently, he found that the price had dropped to more than 2,400 yuan. He felt like he was on a "50% off roller coaster."
Civil aviation expert Lin Zhijie believes that it is indeed unusual for air ticket prices to plummet this time around the holidays. He told reporters on WeChat that this reflects that the popularity of air travel during the National Day holiday this year may not be as expected, and sales progress is lagging behind, so prices are inverted.
A staff member of an airport in Chengdu told @Daily Economic News on the phone that he believed the main reason was that airlines had higher expectations in the early stage, so they have now lowered fares. The airport staff also said that in this case, the airline will not make up for the price difference. Compared with the refund fee, if the ticket price is too high, it is more cost-effective for consumers to refund the ticket and buy it again.
