Half price is only for the price of train tickets. This is stipulated by the state. During the winter and summer vacations, students can buy half-price train tickets with their student ID cards. But the hard seat of the train ticket is half price. Hard sleeper is 7.5% off, soft sleeper is not discounted.
When traveling by boat, the student ticket price is half price+1. However, if you travel by air, you can check the price of student tickets in the airline official website, but there is usually a discount because of the ticket. Student tickets are calculated at the original price. Not cost-effective. Students who want to buy air tickets may wish to buy air tickets in advance after determining the itinerary. Buy air tickets a few months in advance, and the discount is very low. Students can pay attention in advance.
Moreover, because college entrance examination students don't have a student ID card yet, they can buy tickets by virtue of the admission notice and enjoy half price of the hard seat of the train ticket. Air tickets can be picked up with ID cards.
