The son of an old classmate from Shanghai works in Washington, USA. In the past, he and his wife would fly from Shanghai to visit their son every year, stay in Washington for three months, and then return to Shanghai. However, the COVID-19 epidemic interrupted this habit, and they have not seen their son for 4 years.
The biggest reason why I can’t go to the United States is the scarcity of flights. There used to be direct flights from China to Washington, but they were suspended during the epidemic. After the epidemic, I said I wanted to recover, but I only heard the noise from the stairs all day long. In the end, I had to buy a Korean Air ticket, fly from Shanghai to Yinchuan, eat barbecue and stay one night, and then fly to Washington the next day.
After the epidemic, the ecology of the aviation industry is different from before. The capacity of many airlines has not yet been restored. There are few planes and ticket prices are extremely expensive. This has increased the cost and trouble of travel. Sometimes the price of an economy class ticket is almost the same as that of a business class ticket in the past. price. Therefore, it is difficult to organize tours now. Air tickets are so expensive, and group fees must be much higher than before, which is not acceptable to everyone.
Friends from the airlines said that because there are few planes and the ticket prices are high, the tickets are still full. In business, of course, we will not lower prices to serve the people. However, with the increase in flights, air ticket prices will one day come down, and this day will not be too far away. Of course, this is just an economic law and does not take into account political factors. If political factors are added to some things, if I sanction you and you sanction me, I will not fly to your place and you will not fly to me, then there is nothing to say. .
After 4 years, my old classmate can see my son again. I am very excited to talk about it, so I plan to stay in the United States longer this time, and come back after half a year. At that time, the cherry blossoms in Washington are also in bloom, and the family of three can enjoy the romantic season together. Viewing the cherry blossoms makes me happy just thinking about it, and it doesn’t matter if the air ticket is a little more expensive.
