中国民航局有关负责人表示，下一步，民航局将会同国家发展改革委积极研究，鼓励航空公司在政府规 定的优惠基础上，给予儿童、婴儿更多购票优惠政策，并进一步加强机票价格监管，确保各项优惠政策 落实到位。 《 人民日报 》（ 2025年09月25日 10 版） (责编：胡永秋、杨光宇) 记者发现，家长反映的儿童票与成人票价格"倒挂"现象，往往出现在第三方平台。平台客服解释，成人 可享受会员优惠价，儿童无法适用该优惠。 中国航空运输协会有关人士表示，当前国内航线成人票定价以市场调节价为主，航空公司可依市场供需 自主定价；而儿童票实行"50%的全价票"的规定有历史沿革。当成人票价格与全价票持平或接近，儿童 票优惠力度明显；但若成人票价格有大幅折扣，以全价票为基准的儿童票就显得不够优惠。 平台与航空公司间儿童票政策执行存在差异，也是儿童优惠票"不优惠"的重要原因。另外，影响票价的 因素有不同舱位的区别，也有退改签政策、服务内容等区别。中国法学会消费者权益保护法研究会副秘 书长陈音江认为，儿童机票价格不应"一刀切"，应在充分尊重航空市场实际的基础上，由行业协会或头 部企业牵头，探索制定公平合理的儿童票价优惠措施或行业规范。 国 ...

国庆长假临近，不少家庭开始计划出游。广州市民陈先生在某第三方平台预订国庆期间从广州飞往 杭州的机票时，却遇到了怪事：选择"一大一小"出行方案时，某航班成人票价格仅为670元，而儿童票 却标价680元。陈先生很纳闷："儿童票不是应该更优惠吗，怎么比成人票还贵？" 在公众印象中，儿童出行当然要享受比成人更大的优惠，儿童机票价竟然比成人票还贵，确实有 悖"儿童应享优待"的常识。陈先生的遭遇并非个例，近期多位家长反映遇到购买儿童机票价格高过成人 票的情况。记者随机在多家航空公司官网和第三方平台查询了不同航班价格，发现许多航班的儿童票与 成人票价格持平，但有少数航班儿童票价格更高。例如，从成都飞往北京的某次航班，成人票价为990 元，儿童票价则为1000元。 真正的破局，需要跳出"修补旧规则"的框架，构建与市场化相适配的动态调整机制。铁路儿童票 从"单一身高标准"到"年龄+身高"双轨制的改革，早已为公共服务规则迭代提供范本。民航领域作为市 场化程度更高的公共服务场景，更应主动破局：一方面，应推动定价基准从"成人全价票"转向"成人实 际支付票价"，建立弹性优惠机制——比如儿童票可在成人折扣票基础上再享一定折扣，确保儿童票 ...

Core Viewpoint - The article highlights the issue of children's tickets being priced higher than adult tickets on certain flights, raising concerns about the effectiveness of existing discount policies for children's tickets in the aviation industry [1][2][3]. Pricing Discrepancies - Parents have reported instances where children's tickets are more expensive than adult tickets, such as a flight from Guangzhou to Hangzhou where the adult ticket was priced at 670 yuan while the children's ticket was 680 yuan [2]. - Investigations revealed that many flights have children's tickets priced the same as adult tickets, and in some cases, children's tickets are even higher, like a flight from Chengdu to Beijing where the adult ticket was 990 yuan and the children's ticket was 1000 yuan [2][3]. - Customer service representatives indicated that children's tickets are calculated at 50% of the full adult fare, but adult tickets often have discounts due to market demand, leading to situations where children's tickets appear less favorable [2][4]. Historical Context and Policy Issues - The pricing rules for children's tickets were established in 2004, mandating that children's tickets be priced at 50% of the adult fare, with infant tickets at 10% [4]. - The current pricing structure reflects historical policies that do not align with modern market conditions, resulting in children's tickets being less advantageous when adult tickets are heavily discounted [4][7]. Platform and Policy Execution Discrepancies - There are significant differences in how various platforms implement children's ticket pricing policies, with some platforms not fully integrating all airlines' discount policies, leading to inflated prices for children's tickets [5]. - Complaints have surfaced regarding third-party platforms charging higher prices for children's tickets, with some platforms having "unfair terms" that allow for arbitrary price increases [3][5]. Recommendations for Improvement - Experts suggest that the pricing of children's tickets should be more flexible and aligned with market conditions, rather than strictly adhering to historical discount percentages [7][8]. - The Civil Aviation Administration of China is encouraged to enhance oversight of ticket pricing and ensure that discount policies for children are effectively implemented [8].

Group 1 - The pricing of children's airline tickets is often higher than that of adult tickets, with some cases showing a price difference exceeding 60% [1] - During the peak travel season for families, many parents are surprised to find that children's tickets do not enjoy the same discounts as adult tickets, leading to a phenomenon where children's tickets are more expensive than discounted adult tickets [1] - A survey of various flights revealed that on 10 different routes, 6 flights had children's ticket prices higher than adult prices, with examples showing children's tickets priced at 1150 yuan compared to adult tickets at 520 yuan [1] Group 2 - The general pricing structure for children's tickets is typically 50% of the adult full fare plus 50% of the fuel surcharge, but this can lead to confusion when adult tickets are discounted more than children's tickets [2] - Airlines may sell children's tickets at the same price as discounted adult tickets to attract travelers, but in cases of limited availability, children's tickets may revert to the standard pricing structure, resulting in higher prices [2] - Some airlines bind children's tickets to specific fare classes, and if the lower-priced classes are sold out, children may only be able to purchase higher-priced tickets, further contributing to the price disparity [2]
