Spring Festival tickets are on sale. What's the difference between buying tickets this year? Let's see what new features 12306 has.

Bring your own alarm clock: the pre-sale period of train tickets is 15 days, and someone may miss the start date when they are busy. 12306 has marked the time beyond the pre-sale period with the word "Remind". Click a reminder. Then it will remind you like an alarm clock. It's time to buy a ticket. If you are a migrant worker or student, you can make an appointment for 40 day Spring Festival travel tickets now, but you need to cash them 16 days in advance.

Add shopping cart: How long does it take to fill in a ticket information? One Minute. How many people line up at 12306 every minute? I only know that it can sell more than 1400 tickets in one second. If you fill in the information in advance, it is equivalent to adding a "shopping cart", and the information will be "picked up in seconds" when the time for sale is up.

Alternate: How many options are there before the alternate order? You can select 5 combinations every day for two consecutive days. Now the scope of choice is expanded. You can choose 3 different dates, 60 different times and train numbers in the pre-sale period from the alternatives of the standby order.

Early car hailing: if there is no suitable car among the alternatives of the waiting order, you can also choose an option of "accepting the additional trains", which is a bit like the "agreeing to dispatch" when filling in the application form that year, so that the railway will arrange in advance when adding temporary passengers.
