In recent weeks, Ctrip has become aware of certain issues where users were unknowingly charged for additional services while booking tickets. In response, the company swiftly made adjustments to its ticketing system and introduced a new "Standard Booking" option. This feature allows customers to review and cancel any extra services at any time, giving them greater control over their bookings.
For example, when booking a China Eastern Airlines flight MU9107 to Beijing on October 11th, users who access the Ctrip app's ticket booking page will now see two options: one for quick booking and another for standard booking. The latter ensures that no extra products are pre-selected, allowing customers to make informed choices based on their needs.
On the standard booking page, all insurance packages, transfer tickets, and VIP lounge access are not selected by default. Users can manually choose these services if they wish, ensuring transparency and reducing unwanted charges.
Similarly, when booking business class tickets, no additional products are automatically selected. However, if travelers want to add insurance or airport transfers, they can still find and select those options on the same page.
As consumer preferences continue to evolve, Ctrip has positioned itself as a comprehensive platform catering to diverse travel needs. To meet these demands, the company has offered high-value products such as VIP lounges—typically worth over 200 RMB—but is selling them for just 28 RMB through its platform.
On the official ticket booking page, users can also uncheck any value-added services. If no additional products are selected, the final price will only include the base airfare plus the fuel surcharge, with no extra fees added.
Ctrip’s commitment to improving user experience is evident in its recent changes. As a leading player in the online travel industry, the company has taken swift action to address concerns and show a willingness to adapt. According to an official from Ctrip, the company will continue to prioritize customer needs and refine the booking process.
Cao Lei, director of the China E-Commerce Research Center, noted that while the incident had a significant impact on Ctrip, the company’s prompt response was commendable. As the industry leader, Ctrip’s proactive approach sets a positive example for other platforms to follow, ultimately benefiting the entire sector.
From the updated booking interface, it’s clear that Ctrip has made ticket purchasing more flexible and transparent. Users now have the power to choose exactly what they need, significantly enhancing their overall booking experience.
Cao Lei also pointed out that as a major player, Ctrip naturally faces more scrutiny. However, how the company handles such situations is crucial. Ctrip has demonstrated responsibility through its actions, fast response, and genuine efforts to improve, reflecting the values of a well-established brand.
400W-550W PERC Mono Solar Cell
PERC mono panels are assembled from monocrystalline silicon wafers, distinguished for their superior purity and consistent crystalline architecture. This leads to a greater efficiency than alternatives like polycrystalline or thin-film technologies. The term "PERC" encompasses a surface treatment technique applied to the panel's cells. This involves the use of specialized materials to minimize recombination losses, thereby facilitating smoother electron flow within the cell. This process entails the application of an oxide layer onto both the cell's emitter and rear surfaces, enhancing light absorption and decreasing light reflection.
Features
1. Increased Efficiency: PERC panels have a higher efficiency rate than conventional monocrystalline or polycrystalline solar panels. This is due to the use of a reflective layer on the back of the cell that reduces reflection losses and enhances light absorption.
2. Improved Light Utilization: The reflective surface on the rear of PERC cells helps to capture more light, especially from angles where light might not reach the front surface effectively in other types of solar cells. This results in better performance in low-light conditions and during partial shading.
3. Ease of Installation: The structure of PERC panels allows for easier installation compared to some other advanced technologies, such as bifacial cells, which require careful alignment to ensure optimal light capture from both sides.
4. Low Maintenance: PERC panels are less prone to degradation issues like PID (Photo-induced Degradation) and LID (Light Induced Degradation), which can significantly affect the performance of solar panels over time. This means they require less maintenance and can operate reliably for longer periods without significant performance loss.
Contrary to conventional designs where the front side serves as the emitter, PERC panels feature the emitter on the rear along with the contacts. This layout significantly reduces the impact of shading due to front-side contacts, thus boosting efficiency, especially in scenarios with low light.
