After the seven-day National Day holiday, the airline industry entered a low season. It's a great time to plan a trip since national flight tickets departing from Hefei, Anhui province, are now on sale.

As reported, in late October, flight tickets to major travel hotspots in China are up to 70 percent off. Most noticeably, the direct flight from Hefei to Qingdao provides special-priced tickets at only 96 yuan ($15.80), fuel surcharge and airport construction fees excluded.

The staff from Xinqiao Airport in Hefei suggested tourists book their tickets in advance. In addition, buying return tickets and transfer tickets instead of direct tickets can save money.
