The air ticket from Damascus to Shanghai has risen to 3.82 million yuan. People familiar with the matter: It may be a mistake by the supplier.

The security situation in the Middle East has changed dramatically recently, and armed conflicts continue. Some media reported that the ticketing platform App showed that,At 17:00 local time on February 18th, the flight from Damascus to Shanghai Pudong Airport with a stop in Dubai and the United Arab Emirates had a maximum fare increase of more than 3.82 million yuan.The fares for other flights that also depart at 17:00 range from more than 20,000 to more than 110,000.

This matter has attracted the attention of netizens. For flights that "depart at 17:00 locally and sell for more than 3.82 million yuan", relevant people familiar with the matter explained that such situations are mostly due to errors in the manual price entry of the supplier's background, resulting in abnormalities in the front-end display. "If it is a really high-priced ticket, the business will definitely be removed from the shelves as soon as possible to avoid affecting users and public opinion."

The person also emphasized that the air ticket prices on the ticketing platform are entered and sold by the suppliers themselves, and the price difference is earned by the suppliers. The ticketing platform is only a display and transaction matching platform and will not benefit from this, and there is "no need to take risks to divert traffic to suppliers."

Currently, when checking flights from Damascus to Shanghai on the ticketing platform, there are no flights from March 1 to March 4.There is only one Turkish flight on March 5, stopping in Istanbul, and the fare is 15,201 yuan.
