The cost of domestic airfares is expected to increase once the 40-day Spring Festival travel season - the world's largest movement of people - kicks off on Jan 30.
"Airfares will go up earlier than the previous years during this travel season," said Chen Zhenyao of Ctrip, one of the country's leading travel agencies.
"Air tickets will be most expensive from Feb 6 to Feb 12 before the Chinese New Year (Feb 14), and then after Feb 18, when people start returning from family reunions," he said.
