After speaking, Chen Wen took another two hundred yuan from his wallet and put it in Liao Lifang's schoolbag: "We will continue to live here in the next few days, and I will be more relieved if you have a little more food money." ”

Liao Lifang wiped the cake crumbs on her lips with her hand: "Thank you, Brother Wen!"

Chen Wen kissed her and ate the remaining cake crumbs on the girl's cheeks. Liao Lifang smiled and said, "Brother Wen, you are so good, I am so happy to be with you!"

Chen Wen was full: "I went out to buy a plane ticket, a ticket to Paris." These days, I often go out to run errands during the day, and I will come back to accompany you when I am done. ”

Liao Lifang ran to Chen Wen and hugged him tightly: "I know, I will obediently wait for Brother Wen to come back." ”

Chen Wen took the bucket bag, kissed Liao Lifang goodbye, and left the four-star hotel.

There are three main ways to buy a plane ticket in 1992.

One is to go directly to the airport to buy, all airlines have counters in the domestic departure hall of the airport. The good thing is that the ticket is pragmatic, the price is clear, and there are often discounts. The disadvantage is that the discounts are uncertain, and the counters of each company exist independently, so you need to ask for flights and prices one by one.

The second is in the business center in the lobby of four- and five-star hotels, with ticketing services. The advantage is that there is no need for guests to queue in person, there are occasional discounts, and all airlines can be selected by the business center staff for guests. The disadvantage is that there is a delay in ticketing, the information is unclear, and each ticket needs to pay a handling fee ranging from dozens to hundreds of yuan.

Third, there are civil aviation ticketing centers in several key areas of Shanghai, which has the advantage that customers do not have to run to the airport, and the on-site queuing time is far less than that of the railway station. One of the disadvantages is that the urban ticketing centers in various major cities give priority to recommending local airlines, and only push tickets from other airlines when they are out of tickets. The second downside is that there are almost no discounts.

As for the air ticket centers that dotted the streets in the mid-to-late 90s, they didn't rise in 1992.

In the case of Chen Wen, the most convenient way to get from Shanghai to Paris is to buy a direct ticket, but the price is basically difficult to discount. The game of fighting the plane and the cabin has not yet been popularized, only a few people who often fly have this idea, Chen Wen was a low-level rotten boy in his previous life, not a flying family, and he didn't know about it at all.

Chen Wen came out of the elevator and first came to the business center of the four-star hotel. He felt that if he could solve the ticket problem here, it would save a lot of time, so he called Wang Qiao to come and pick up the ticket, and he could go back to the room to continue to make love to Liao Lifang after buying the ticket.

Walking into the business center, Chen Wen inquired about the ticketing and was immediately a little depressed.

There are all kinds of tickets, all airlines, domestic and foreign, are also complete, but there is a problem with the time. Tickets are only available for the coming week.

Today is August 18th, and Chen Wen's planned travel date is September 3rd, and he is on business

The heart can't help him.

After asking the staff of the hotel's business center for the address of the nearest civil aviation ticketing center, Chen Wen left the four-star hotel and walked there, because it was really not far away, located on a small road perpendicular to Zhongshan Road near the Bund.

Not long after, Chen Wen walked to the office of this civil aviation ticketing center and inquired, but Chen Wen still felt unhappy.

Why is it not cool?

Because this government-run civil aviation ticketing center only pushes tickets for three airlines!

They concentrated on recommending Shanghai Airlines, and if Shanghai Airlines ran out of tickets, they would recommend Air China, that is, the tickets of Capital Airlines. The third is a foreign airline, American Airlines.

Air France, British Airways, German Airlines, Port Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, ...... None of this is in the list of services.

Of course, Chen Wen is from 2019, he will not choose to fly Malaysia Airlines, even if Malaysia Airlines did not have an accident in 1992, he does not want to take Malaysia Airlines.

But Chen Wen really wants to experience Air France!

Chen Wen doesn't mind supporting domestic products and taking Shanghai Airlines planes, but you have to at least give him a variety of airline tickets to choose from, and if the Air France price is too dark, Chen Wen will of course choose a local airline.

But now he is not given a chance to make a choice at all, only a flight ticket from Shanghai Airlines to Paris, which makes Chen Wen very unhappy.

Chen Wen decided to go to Shanghai Airport to have a look, where there should be most airline ticket offices.

Thinking of doing it, I took a taxi to the airport.

I got out of the taxi and walked into the domestic departure hall.

Chen Wen was immediately refreshed!

He followed Tang Jin to fly to the imperial capital many times, and he was very familiar with the environment here.

In the past, the counter he and Tang Jin visited several times was the ticket exchange point, and the ticket was exchanged for a boarding pass, and then they went to the security checkpoint. Chen Wen knew that on the other side of the departure hall there were a large number of airline ticket offices.

Turning left after entering the door, Chen Wen quickly found the face he hoped to see.

Shanghai Airlines, Air China, Hong Kong Airlines, American Airlines, Singapore Airlines...... and Air France, which he was interested in.

Each airline occupies a small counter, two meters wide, a table, standing or sitting in the back, all of them are beautiful little girls, who look and have a good figure, wearing the uniforms of flight attendants of various airlines.

The little girls who sell tickets for several foreign airlines are not foreign girls, they are all Chinese, wearing the clothes of flight attendants of various foreign airlines.

Dozens of flight attendants are selling tickets, and it's comfortable to watch!

Chen Wen first went to the Air France counter and asked about the price.

September

There are 3-day tickets from Shanghai to Paris, more than 4,000 in economy class, 10,000 in business class, and today is between 15 and 30 days from the departure time, and you can enjoy an 88% discount.

Of course, Chen Wen can afford the business class fare, but he knows that Wang Qiao's family is enough to choke.

He thought again that although the economy class seats were cramped, it was quite a pleasant thing to be able to sit side by side with a cute girl like Wang Qiao for more than ten hours.

Wang Qiao is small and exquisite, taking up little seat space, and the two seats are next to each other, Chen Wen does not feel crowded.

At the counter of Air France, there are only tickets for flying from a few big cities in China to a few cities in France, and the planes are all from their own companies, and they do not do domestic route business in China.

Chen Wen is quite satisfied with this ticket from Shanghai to Paris, but he will not pay for it immediately, because he also wants to transfer a few more counters nearby to compare.

Chen Wen is not bad for money, but it does not mean that he will spend money indiscriminately, and he is also willing to accumulate knowledge in the process of spending money.

Leaving the Air France counter, Chen Wen then visited the counters of Shanghai Airlines and Air China. The ticket price is the same as what he asked at the two ticket centers, the same as the standard price of an Air France ticket, with a discount of 9%.

Next, Chen Wen went to the port and shipping counter. Hong Kong Island will return in 1997, and there are still five years to go, and Chen Wen has a sense of affection for this place. Although some Hong Kong people in the 21st century are not very friendly to China, Hong Kong Island is, after all, the land of China's own family, and it belongs to the contradictions within the family.

The air ticket service launched by Hong Kong Airlines is very similar to the principle of Air France, which is to sell tickets to Hong Kong Island from a few large Chinese cities such as the imperial capital and Shanghai.

Chen Wen asked the ticket clerk dressed like a flight attendant: "Do you have any tickets from Hong Kong Island to Paris?"

The girl said, "Of course, but you have to board the plane from Hong Kong Island International Airport." ”

Chen Wen asked: "Flying to Paris on September 3 and taking off from Hong Kong Island, how much is the economy class?"

The little girl checked on the ticket machine: "There are two flights, there is one flight in the early morning of September 3, and the price is more than 2,100 yuan today, and there is one flight at noon, and the price is more than 3,000 yuan today." The price is Huaxia coins, which has already calculated the discount for you. ”

Chen Wen was surprised: "More than two thousand one hundred yuan, how can it be so cheap, half cheaper than the standard price!"

The little girl said: "This is a tail ticket, and the time is not good, plus it is a transit flight, so it will be very cheap." My machine here shows that there are only 5 tickets left, if you don't buy them today, you may not have them tomorrow. ”

Chen Wen pondered for a while, if in order to pick up this cheap ticket from Hong Kong Island to Paris, then he had to take Wang Qiao from Shanghai to Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong Island had not returned in 1992, I am afraid that he would have to apply for a Hong Kong Island visa, which is too troublesome.
