March 29th is the first day when the Civil Aviation Administration of China requested to implement the policy of "one airline, one country, one route" to cut international flights. This week (March 29th to April 4th), the number of international flights in China will be reduced to 108, with a decrease of 85.3%, only equivalent to 1.2% before the outbreak.

　　With the sharp reduction of return flights, return air tickets continue to climb without accident. In various WeChat groups, the prices of return air tickets in Europe and America are 100,000 in economy class and 200,000 in business class.

　　However, if you check the airline app or ota platform yourself, it is difficult to find any recent tickets, especially if you want to buy a direct flight ticket to return home in recent days.

　　On March 28th, China Eastern Airlines directly announced the news in its official Weibo. During the period from March 29th to May 2nd, China Eastern Airlines’ flights from new york, Toronto, Sydney, Auckland, Seoul and Manila to Shanghai Pudong were all sold out.

　　On the one hand, airlines say that the tickets have been sold out, but on the other hand, there are still people selling more than 100 thousand high-priced return tickets in the circle of friends in the next few days. Who is behind this?

　　Who is raising the price?

　　Like domestic air tickets, the pricing of international air tickets has strict rules.

　　According to the Notice on the Provisions on the Administration of International Air Freight Rates issued by the Civil Aviation Administration (hereinafter referred to as the Notice), in order to establish, adjust and modify international air freight rates, after the Chinese (or foreign) airlines and the foreign (or Chinese) airlines agree, it is necessary to declare the freight rates to be implemented to the Civil Aviation Administration.

　　Therefore, like domestic air tickets, international air tickets are limited by the amount of full-price economy class and full-price business class. However, when the supply and demand are not so tight at ordinary times, airlines will publish the price of discounted cabin on the basis of full-price tickets.

　　When the demand for air tickets on a certain route exceeds the supply, the fare will naturally rise, but it cannot be higher than the full-price ticket of this route. The notice of the Civil Aviation Administration requires that airlines should adjust the international air freight rate, and the Civil Aviation Administration will decide whether to approve it according to the relevant national policies, the international air freight rate at that time, the market situation and the changes in the currency exchange rate.

　　According to the reporter’s understanding, in recent days, with the surge in demand for returning to China on international routes, the three major airlines that are basically empty have indeed applied for raising the full-price tickets of relevant international routes one after another.

　　For example, on Air China’s flight from London Heathrow to Shanghai Pudong, the full price of economy class ticket was 16,710 yuan before March 20, and it was raised to 29,860 yuan after March 20, and the full price of business class ticket was also raised from 34,170 yuan to 41,690 yuan.

　　For the flight of China Eastern Airlines from London Heathrow to Shanghai Pudong, the full price of economy class ticket was 25,980 yuan before March 20th, and it was raised to 26,460 yuan after March 20th, and the full price of business class ticket was also raised from 35,420 yuan to 42,880 yuan.

　　However, at present, most passengers can’t buy tickets for returning from London through the above prices. In recent days, they can also buy direct flights from London. It is lucky that the economy class does not exceed 100,000, and the business class exceeds 160,000, which is comparable to the single seat freight rate for returning from business jets.

　　Many insiders revealed to reporters that from the full price of more than 20,000 economy class to the actual transaction price of 100,000 yuan, there have actually been many changes of hands behind the price increase, and even the price increase parties are not necessarily ticket agents with formal licenses, but scalpers with customer resources.

　　Some people purchase, some people distribute, and increase the price layer by layer. The return ticket is pushed higher and higher in this interest chain.

　　However, according to the notice requirements of the Civil Aviation Administration, it is absolutely illegal to continue to increase the fare on the basis of full-price tickets in economy class or business class: "Chinese and foreign airlines should ensure that their own companies (or their offices) and their sales agents implement the approved international air freight rates, and may not reduce or add additional fees in any name (except airport fees or taxes and insurance fees collected according to relevant regulations), and the collection fees shall be indicated in the corresponding columns of the tickets."

　　Who is occupying a seat?

　　In addition to the distributors who increase prices at different levels, there are also many ways for buyers who can get first-hand seat resources.

　　In normal times, air ticket agent is an important channel for airlines to sell air tickets. By purchasing the configuration from China Airlines, they can see the remaining space, fare and other information of an airline route in the background. By inputting the passenger’s ID card or passport information, they can book an air ticket and then issue the ticket within 24 hours.

　　What is said here is the operation of a regular air ticket agent. 24 hours is not a fixed time limit for issuing tickets, and each airline will have differences, and it is 24 hours in the peak season, and the time limit may be relaxed for a longer period in the off-season.

　　However, this time difference between booking and ticketing gives many unscrupulous agents (even scalpers who have rented the agent configuration) the opportunity to "exploit loopholes": select the flight with few seats left, book the ticket of this flight with any passport information, and then cancel the virtual reservation until a real customer comes to buy the ticket, and at the same time buy it with the passport information of the real customer, and then sell it at a higher price than the background fare of the airline company.

　　With the increasing scarcity of return air tickets in Europe and America, the operation of "virtual seat occupation" is becoming more and more "rampant". Even a large-scale airline ticket agency mobilized employees to collectively "occupy seats" and collected a large number of remaining seats on different European and American routes.

　　The airline company is not ignorant of such a "loophole" way. A few days ago, China Southern issued a penalty notice for illegal agents, saying that agents illegally occupied a large number of seats on flights, blocked the configuration of airmail for 93 agents who violated the rules recently or stopped selling China Southern’s authorization.

　　More airlines began to narrow the time difference between booking and ticketing, some required that tickets must be issued within three hours, and some even shortened the time difference to 20 minutes. However, this requirement gave birth to a new way of purchasing tickets.

　　Agents (or scalpers) began to collect customers’ specific needs for returning to China in advance, including departure place, destination, intended departure time, acceptable upper limit of air ticket price, etc., and required customers to pay a deposit ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 (if they can’t get a refund, they won’t get a refund if they buy it), saying that once there are tickets that meet the needs, they will not be notified to issue tickets immediately.

　　A number of airline ticket agents who have worked in the industry for many years revealed to reporters that with the airline company’s stricter control over "false occupancy", it is not easy to grab seats now, either by using the time when everyone slept after the early hours of the morning to brush in the background to see if anyone has refunded tickets, or by colluding with the relevant personnel of the airline company to leave the remaining seats to the designated sellers.

　　Who should be punished?

　　In the face of increasing illegal fare increase and seat occupation, airlines have also begun to increase their intervention.

　　A few days ago, China Eastern Airlines issued a notice, requiring agents to follow the price and conditions of use of company tickets, and it is strictly forbidden to increase sales, otherwise they will be punished for violating agency behavior. However, similar situations are still repeated.

　　Air China, on the other hand, made up its mind to suspend the release of all its international/regional flight information in all booking systems around the world and ota flagship stores in China, requiring passengers to purchase tickets through direct sales channels.

　　Subsequently, Xiamen Airlines also issued a similar notice, which cut off the sales source of unscrupulous agents from the source, but it also affected the normal sales of regular agents with long-term fixed customers.

　　"The full price increase of air tickets should be reported to the Civil Aviation Administration. If the sales price exceeds the upper limit, it will violate the civil aviation regulations. If it does not exceed the upper limit, it will also violate the sales policy of the airline company." Lin Zhijie, an insider in the civil aviation industry, pointed out to reporters that passengers who bought high-priced return tickets can complain to the relevant departments or airlines about the difference if they keep the ticket number and payment records. By comparing the ticket price corresponding to the ticket number with the actual payment price, they can know how much the ticket they bought was added and by whom.

Recently, the review meeting of the construction drawing design scheme for the adjustment of the naming number of ordinary provincial roads in Lishui City was successfully held, and the adjustment work is planned to be completed before the end of the year. According to the General Highway Network Layout Plan of Zhejiang Province (2021-2035) issued by the Communications Department of Zhejiang Province and the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the number of general provincial roads in our city has increased from 8 to 12, forming a "seven vertical lines and five horizontal lines", and the total scale mileage has increased from 510 kilometers to about 1,610 kilometers, ranking first in the province.

The naming rules of ordinary provincial roads uniformly use the initial letter of "province" with a three-digit number at the beginning of "s", in which the longitudinal line is the north-south provincial road with the number "S2xx"; The horizontal line is an east-west provincial road, numbered "S3XX". The specific new numbers and lines are:

ordinate

One vertical: S209 Lishui City starts at the junction of Jinyun and Jinhua Pan ‘an, and ends at the junction of Qingyuan and Shouning, Fujian, with a total length of 372.133km, passing through Jinyun County, liandu, Songyang County, Longquan City and qingyuan county.

Second vertical: S210 Lishui starts at the junction of Jinyun and Xianju, and ends at Jingning, Lishui, with a total length of 205.78km, passing through Jinyun County, liandu, Yunhe County and Jingning County.

Three verticals: S211 Lishui starts at the junction of Jinyun and Jinhua Yongkang, and ends at the junction of Jinyun and Yongjia, with a total length of 78.53km, and the whole line is in Jinyun.

Four verticals: S215 Lishui City starts at the junction of Jinhua Wucheng and Suichang, and ends at Lishui Longquan, with a total length of 147.095km, passing through Suichang County and Longquan City along the route.

It is reported that this adjustment will update and bury highway milestones, 100-meter piles, replace guiding signs, and adjust guiding signs of other roads involving provincial roads (including urban roads and expressways). At the same time, the public travel information service systems such as various displays on the highway and the 12328 traffic service hotline platform are also updated simultaneously. It is expected that all the work will be completed in December 2023.

At present, among all the models equipped with Huawei Gankun Zhijia, Deep Blue L07 is the most cost-effective.

Then, with the dark blue L07 blessed by Huawei technology in intelligent driving, what about the experience of the smart cockpit?

In this issue of "Machine Lab", let’s have an in-depth experience.

Cockpit hardware

Although the design of Deep Blue L07 is almost the same as that of sister model Deep Blue SL03, the configuration of intelligent cockpit has been upgraded to some extent.

For example, the "Sunflower Central Control Screen" with deep blue features is not only standard in the whole system, but also the screen size has increased from 14.6 inches to 15.6 inches. The resolution of 2.5K is also the first echelon in the same price model.

In terms of performance, Deep Blue L07 uses Qualcomm 8155 chip and improves the running memory of the lathe from 12G to 16G.

In addition, compared with the cockpit of the dark blue SL03, the dark blue L07 has a very obvious change, that is, the whole system uses AR-HUD instead of LCD instruments.

Judging from the actual display effect, even in the strong light environment, the AR-HUD of deep blue L07 still has good clarity and rich displayable contents.

As for audio, Deep Blue L07 also provides an optional package with 22 speakers, which supports 7.1.4 channels. For this price model, it is very rare.

Below the central control screen is the area where the mobile phone is wirelessly charged. The measured maximum charging power is 50w, which can be compatible with wireless fast charging of Huawei, Xiaomi and other mobile phones.

If there is any regret about the cockpit hardware of Deep Blue L07, it is definitely one that the whole system only supports 4G networks.

I hope that Deep Blue L07 can add the 5G network to the upgrade list in the later changes.

Interactive experience

In terms of interactive experience, Deepal OS equipped with Deep Blue L07 underwent an OTA upgrade in mid-November, and the latest version is 2.3.0.

From the layout of the homepage, the DOCK bar of Deep Blue L07 is located at the bottom of the screen. Except for the three system buttons on the far left and the air conditioning settings in the middle, most of the other icons can be adjusted after long press.

Above the DOCK bar, Deep Blue L07 provides various types of small card components, which can quickly check various information of vehicles. Of course, these small cards also support customization.

In the design of desktop background, Deep Blue L07 provides two options, namely wallpaper desktop and 3D car control desktop.

Compared with most models of the same price, this 3D model of Deep Blue L07 not only has higher fluency, but also has excellent rendering accuracy.

Next, I have to mention the most "ingenious" interactive experience of Deep Blue L07.

Generally speaking, sliding down from the top of the screen, whether Apple or Android, even Nokia, will enter the notification center or control center.

But on the deep blue L07, sliding down from the top of the screen, the first thing that appears in front of you is the local application.

As for the control center, it is placed between the three-party application and the handcart interconnection, which is really confusing.

After spending a day with Deep Blue L07, I personally still don’t adapt to this interactive logic. I wonder how you feel in front of the screen?

Software ecology

Although the interactive logic of Deep Blue L07 is rather strange, its performance in software ecology is excellent.

First of all, let’s take a look at the experience of navigation function, which is also one of the most frequently used functions in the intelligent cockpit.

Because Deep Blue L07 adopts "Huawei’s Gankun Intelligent Driving", it uses Petal Maps from Huawei in navigation.

Judging from the number of functions and actual experience, the performance of Petal Maps is now no less than that of old navigation software such as Gaode and Baidu.

At the same time, the design of navigation and intelligent driving functions in one has become the unique advantage of Petal Maps.

As for the audio-visual experience, common car entertainment software such as QQ music, Iqiyi, and Bi Li can be found on Deep Blue L07.

Among them, QQ music, as the main audio source of Deep Blue L07, is deeply customized for Deepal OS.

Not only the UI design is highly unified with the system style, but also the functions such as sound effect setting and light show of vehicles can be directly linked.

In addition, the app store of Deep Blue L07 also provides a wealth of third-party applications and games for download.

What’s more interesting is that in the classification of practical tools, I found that Deep Blue L07 also provides two softwares that are not very practical but can provide emotional value.

In addition to the rich software ecology, Deep Blue L07 is well prepared for the interconnection of mobile phones and cars.

Not only can Huawei, Xiaomi and other domestic mobile phones be supported for handcart interconnection, but the appearance of Apple CarPlay also makes Deep Blue L07 successfully attract many fruit powder colleagues in our company.

Write it at the end

After the deep use of Deep Blue L07, it is certain that the intelligent experience of this car has not become a "partial student" because of Huawei’s intelligent driving.

The Deepal OS developed by Deep Blue also brought a good experience to the smart cockpit of this car. It would be better if we could polish the interactive logic of the system in the next OTA.

Finally, I would like to ask the dark blue car owners in front of the screen, are you satisfied with the current experience of Deepal OS? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area for discussion!
