 In consideration of travel duration, most passengers would like to take a flight instead to spare more time on exploring in cities. The full price of an economic class seat on plane costs about CNY 2,150. Sometimes, passengers can enjoy a discount of more than 50%. In this case, it’s more cost-efficient to travel by plane. What’s more, many direct flights are available from the early morning to late evening, so travelers can have a more flexible schedule.
