Every year, April to October is the peak season for travelling in China, and the domestic air tickets are mostly sold with a 20% - 40% off discount; from November to next March is the low season, and the discount for domestic air ticket is usually 30% - 60% off. In addition, air tickets are sold at the full price during public holiday most of the time.

3. Tickets for flights departing or arriving in the late night and early morning are usually sold cheaper than the tickets in other period.
