🌟1ˇ: Why is there the phenomenon of buying long and sitting short? There are many reasons! First, in order to increase seat utilization on flights, airlines will launch some special tickets to attract more passengers.💺Imagine that a plane already has 100 people on it, and adding 20 more people will not cost much extra, so airlines can offer special fares to attract more passengers, increasing revenue without adding too much expenses.

🌟2ˇ: Secondly, airlines will also attract passengers from other cities through connection tickets.ˇCities that are not airline hub airports are potentially large markets for airlines. In order to transport passengers from more cities to base airports and then fly to international destinations, airlines will offer more favorable connection tickets. Take China Southern Airlines as an example. The direct flights from Guangzhou to Sydney are their market itself. There is not much competition, so the prices are relatively high. But if a transit flight segment is added from Beijing to Guangzhou and then to Sydney, airlines can reduce flight vacancy rates and achieve better profits.

🌟3ˇ: How to scientifically carry out "buying long and sitting short"? Here are some important considerations:ˇ

Be sure to use your tickets in order! When purchasing a connection ticket, make sure you use the ticket in order. You can choose not to take the latter part of the voyage, but you must take the former part. For example, if you purchase a connecting ticket from Guangzhou to Beijing to Shenyang, you can choose not to fly the Beijing-Shenyang segment, but you must fly the Guangzhou-Beijing segment. Otherwise, airlines will usually cancel the eligibility for subsequent flight segments.

In this way, you can flexibly use the strategy of buying long and sitting short to complete your journey at a better price. Remember that choosing a joint ticket from a non-base airline and paying attention to the restrictions of different airlines are also important considerations when buying long and short flights scientifically. While enjoying the trip, you can also save a lot of money!✈️🌍

Considerations:

When using the "buy long and sit short" strategy, there are several important considerations to consider to ensure a smooth trip:

1ˇ The easiest way is to only carry hand luggage. Some airlines may charge extra fees for picking up checked baggage halfway, such as Air France and KLM. However, most airlines have no problems, so it is recommended to know the specific situation of the airline you choose in advance.

2ˇ Even if you get off the plane halfway, you must have entry qualifications at your final destination, otherwise you will not be able to obtain a boarding pass for the next flight. Make sure you understand and meet all entry requirements to avoid problems.

3ˇ For round-trip trips, be sure to use tickets for all flight sectors in order. For example, if your itinerary is Beijing-Guangzhou-Sydney-Guangzhou-Beijing, you must use your ticket in the order of 1234. You cannot abandon a flight on the outbound journey and then take it on the return journey.

However, these precautions are completely different concepts from what some people call the "clearing" of transit stops. If you feel like you don't understand this strategy yet, don't try it lightly. Always make sure you understand the details of your trip, and if you have any doubts, it's best not to risk using this method.

I hope these precautions will help you and ensure that you can travel safely and smoothly. If you have any other questions, please continue to ask me questions!
