travel enthusiasts found the ticket prices on china eastern’s app and its official website plummeting to the lowest of only 5 percent of their normal prices beginning around 1am.

a first-class ticket from shanghai to sanya, for instance, was sold at 120 yuan (us$17.3)  on the carrier’s app. normally, a one-way ticket from shanghai to the popular tourist destination in china’s south hainan island in december costs at least 2,700 yuan by china eastern.

a one-way ticket between shanghai and beijing was sold at 70 yuan, comparing with around 600 yuan in average for the busiest domestic route.

those initially found the “system bug” informed others through the internet, which led to a booking frenzy nationwide.

a traveler surnamed ren said he was informed in a wechat group around 5am and soon booked three round-trip first-class tickets between shanghai and beijing for himself and family members for a trip planned in early december.

“i managed to save about a total of 10,000 yuan,” he said. another buyer claimed in the wechat group he bought 30 round-trip tickets, ren said. the ticket prices were restored to normal around 7am, according to ren.

china eastern released a statement around noon and announced all the tickets sold during its system maintenance early saturday morning were valid.

tip 5

choose budget airlines

 

it is also known as lcc (low-cost carrier). it is different from traditional airlines which airfare includes baggage fees, catering fees, surcharge for seat choosing and insurance. in lcc, passengers make choice on whether they pay these extra fees, only ticket price and fuel tax are necessary. sounds really cheaper than the traditional one? but, you are not allowed to rebook your flight in lcc.

you probably think it for granted that barking dogs are dangerous and cute and nicely-behaved ones are good dogs. however, most facts are not true. do not try to define a dog with your stereotyped thoughts, because dogs have their own likes and dislikes, their behaviors are varied in different situations. so, do you really know you dog? following are the ten myths that you misunderstand your dog, check these out. 

myth #1: 

dogs have a human appreciation of sharing

 humans can rationalize and appreciate the benefits of sharing. in contrast, among dogs, possession is ten-tenths of the law. so we should not take toys, bones and chews away from dogs unless we have trained them to accept this form of intervention.

myth #2: 

dogs  enjoy common human physical displays of affection

 

humans often show their affection for others by hugging and cuddling them. dogs simply do not have the limbs and joints to achieve this and so have not evolved to give each other a loving squeeze. when embraced by humans, many can find this uncomfortable or threatening. the same goes for patting dogs on the head.

myth #3: 

barking and growling dogs are  threatening or dangerous

these are distance-increasing behaviors. the dogs using these signals are chiefly trying to buy space so they can feel safer. all dogs, regardless of their temperament or training, can at times want more space. they usually try more subtle signalling first, but many dogs learn that subtle signals don’t work and go straight for shouting.

myth #4: 

dogs will welcome unfamiliar dogs to their home

dogs evolved from wolves and are therefore primed to defend what is theirs. they have an attachment to their home territory and the resources within it. dogs have no way of knowing that the dogs and human we invite around to our home, for example for a play-date, are ever going to leave. they can be forgiven for thinking that this is the way it is going to be from hereon.

so it is to be expected that they will often try to lay out the local ground-rules and put the new arrivals in their place.

myth #5: 

dogs like relaxing as much as humans do

we go to work and go to school, so we greatly value the opportunity to chill out at home and maybe watch tv. in contrast, dogs spend most of their time at home and so value exercise off the property far more than time spent on the sofa.

myth #6:

 an effusive dog is a friendly dog

“friendly” for one dog is not friendly for all dogs, and some dogs use excessive friendliness as a way to alleviate anxiety associated with meeting another dog or human.

owners of very friendly dogs may be surprised when every other dog does not cheerfully receive their dog. some dogs prefer sedate greetings, and lots of personal space.

myth #7: 

dogs approach when they want to engage playfully

 

sometimes owners are confused when a dog approaches a human or another dog in a friendly fashion and then growls or snaps at them.

these dogs may be motivated to approach chiefly to gain information, rather than to interact, and some may like strangers in principle, but nevertheless become anxious and overwhelmed all of a sudden.

if you are seeing this pattern, call your dog away from new dogs and humans after a couple of seconds.

myth #8: 

a big yard can replace walks

 

because dogs spend so much time at home in the yard, they often find the area a little too familiar and sometimes rather dull. the size of a yard is far less important to dogs than what happens in it.

dogs truly thrive on play with each other, with us and with toys. they particularly love to do so in a novel environment, so time spent out of the yard is the very best of fun.

myth #9: 

dogs are wilfully defiant when they don’t do as they are told

 

rather than deciding to disobey us, dogs sometimes simply can’t do what we ask them to. either they don’t actually know what we’re asking them to do, or they have much, much more pressing things to do at the time.

dogs are not great at generalizing, so just because they sit nicely when asked to in the kitchen when you have treats in your hand doesn’t mean they automatically know what “sit” means when they are at the off-leash dog park.

and while your dogs might know what “sit” means when being trained at home without distractions, asking them to do so when visitors are at the door.

myth #10: 

barking, snapping, or lunging is the first sign of an unhappy dog

 

dogs often give subtle signs they are becoming anxious, like avoiding eye contact with whatever is worrying them, licking lips, brow furrows, lifting a paw, tightening muscles in their face.

if nothing is done to help these dogs move away from whatever is worrying them, these signs can often escalate to more troubling behavior that is more obvious, such as growling and snapping.
