🚄 Return tickets·Ticket grabbing techniques and missing remaining tickets
The peak period for Spring Festival travel is concentrated in two periods. Among them, the first peak period is from February 15th to 19th, that is, the sixth to the tenth day of the lunar month, and the second peak period is from February 25th to 26th, that is, the sixteenth to the seventeenth day of the lunar month.
Starting from February 3rd, you will start to grab tickets for February 17th. This time point is the most difficult to grab tickets. Also, from February 11th to 12th, you will start to grab tickets for February 25th and 26th. This time point is also the most difficult to grab tickets.
It is recommended to use the railway 12306 system to set some reminders in advance, fill in the passengers, train numbers and seats in advance on the day of sale, and submit the order with one click as soon as the sale starts. This will significantly increase the success rate of ticket grabbing.
If you don't get it in the first round, then use the waitlist ticket purchase function immediately. Each user can add up to 6 waitlist orders waiting to be redeemed. Each order can select up to 3 ride dates, and the total does not exceed 60 trains. The deadline for waitlist redemption is 20 minutes before driving.
As of 17:30 on February 2, tickets from Wuhan, Changsha, Harbin, Chongqing, Chengdu and other directions to Hefei have basically been sold out. However, tickets from Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and other places to Hefei have been sold out. The remaining tickets are relatively abundant; in the province, there are still many remaining tickets for return tickets from Bengbu, Anqing, Fuyang, Huaibei, Xuancheng and other directions, which can be used as an alternative plan to flexibly adjust the itinerary.
🏨Accommodation options·Safety, convenience and pit avoidance guide
During the peak hours of return journeys, the demand for accommodation increases sharply. It is recommended to book hotels or B&Bs through formal platforms in advance. Priority is given to properties within 3 kilometers of transportation hubs with ratings of 4.5 or above and recent positive reviews.
Before checking in, be sure to carefully check the room door lock, peephole, fire escape plan, and emergency exit location. When resting at night, the anti-theft chain must be turned on.
Avoid choosing unqualified daily rental housing or private sublet housing, and beware of fake housing scams.
In case of an accommodation dispute, you should keep records of the chat period and the vouchers generated during the payment. Contact the platform's customer service as soon as possible, or call 12315 to protect your rights.
Choosing a hotel that offers late check-out will allow you enough time to rest and avoid rushing to catch the train, which can easily cause fatigue after traveling long distances.
🧳 Pre-trip preparation, checklist and emergency supplies
Before departure, make a practical list. ID card, mobile phone, power bank and appropriate amount of cash are the basic standard items. For long-distance travel, it is recommended to bring a U-shaped pillow, eye mask, and earplugs to improve comfort. In addition, disposable masks, disinfectant wipes and hand sanitizer should be prepared in the carry-on bag for personal hygiene protection.
Low-temperature rain and snow are frequent, so bring a folding umbrella, a thermos cup, and a baby warmer to deal with sudden cooling.
In the era of electronic ticketing, it is necessary to save screenshots of railway train schedules and hotel reservations to your mobile phone in advance. At the same time, print out a paper backup and put it in your backpack to prevent the phone from running out of battery or being lost.
Patients with chronic diseases should prepare enough commonly used medicines and carry them with them and do not put them in checked baggage.
🚌 Traffic regulations and key points for avoiding pitfalls
Due to the recent impact of rain and snow, the railway department may temporarily suspend some trains. Before traveling, you must use the 12306 official app or station announcements to verify the status of trains to avoid delays.
After arriving at the train station or the airport, give priority to public transportation such as the subway and buses, and avoid taking the black buses without operating qualifications outside the station.
If you need to take an online ride-hailing ride, you must wait at the designated pick-up location. Before boarding the ride, you must check that the license plate, model, and order information are consistent, and share the itinerary with relatives and friends.
Those returning by self-driving should check the tire pressure, vehicle brakes and antifreeze earlier. They should avoid the period at night and early in the morning when people are easily tired, and rest in the highway service area for no less than 20 minutes.
During long-distance driving, mint candies and energy drinks can be used to refresh the car to ensure safety first.
📞 Local convenience emergency and service hotline
After arriving at the destination, quickly know the information needed for surrounding conveniences: the hotel front desk can ask for the location of the nearest convenience store, pharmacy, and police station; write down the national railway customer service hotline 12306, the transportation service hotline 12328, and the consumer rights protection hotline 12315, and you can seek help when you encounter problems.
The highest number of passengers sent in a single day after the holiday is expected to be 191,000 on February 26, which is the 17th day of the lunar month. Staff at the Hefei Station directly reminded that it is recommended to travel during off-peak hours and to reserve sufficient time for security inspections at the station.
By using the Railway 12306 App, you can check the large screen at the station in real time to check information about schedules and delays, and you can also find lost items, which greatly improves the efficiency of travel.
For short-distance travel within the province, you can follow the local transportation public account to obtain the latest bus and subway delayed operation arrangements, which can make the last mile of the return trip smoother.
