-===== Core Meaning ===== +
-  * **Pinyin (with tone marks):** jīpiào +
-  * **Part of Speech:** Noun +
-  * **HSK Level:** HSK 3 +
-  * **Concise Definition:** A ticket for a flight on an airplane. +
-  * **In a Nutshell:** 机票 (jīpiào) is a straightforward and fundamental word for anyone traveling by air in a Chinese-speaking context. It's a compound noun that literally means "machine ticket," where "machine" is short for "airplane." It covers the entire concept of an airline ticket, from the digital confirmation you receive after booking online to the record you reference at the check-in counter. It's one of the most practical nouns you'll learn for modern life and travel. +
-===== Character Breakdown ===== +
-  * **机 (jī):** This character's primary meaning is "machine" or "engine." In many modern compound words, it serves as a shorthand for a specific machine. In this case, 机 (jī) is short for **飞机 (fēijī)**, meaning "airplane." +
-  * **票 (piào):** This character simply means "ticket." It can also refer to a bank note or a ballot. You'll see it in other types of tickets like **火车票 (huǒchēpiào)** (train ticket) and **电影票 (diànyǐngpiào)** (movie ticket). +
-  * Together, **机 (jī) + 票 (piào)** creates the logical and transparent meaning: "airplane ticket." +
-===== Cultural Context and Significance ===== +
-While a "plane ticket" is a universal concept, the context surrounding **机票 (jīpiào)** in China has its own unique cultural flavor, shaped by technology and tradition. +
-Unlike in the West where booking methods are diverse, purchasing a 机票 in China is overwhelmingly dominated by mobile super-apps like **携程 (Ctrip)** and **飞猪 (Fliggy)**. The process is deeply integrated into mobile payment systems like Alipay and WeChat Pay. For many, buying a plane ticket is a purely digital, in-app experience. +
-Furthermore, the concept of the **机票** is culturally magnified during two key periods: the **Spring Festival (春节 Chūnjié)** and the **National Day (国庆节 Guóqìngjié)** holiday week. During these times, hundreds of millions of people travel, leading to a phenomenon known as **抢票 (qiǎng piào)** - "snatching/scrambling for tickets." Securing a reasonably priced 机票 for a hometown visit becomes a major, often stressful, annual ritual, reflecting the deep-seated cultural value of family reunion. +
-===== Practical Usage in Modern China ===== +
-**机票 (jīpiào)** is a neutral term used in all contexts. Here's how you'll encounter it: +
-  * **Booking a Ticket:** The most common action is **买机票 (mǎi jīpiào)** (to buy a plane ticket) or the slightly more formal **订机票 (dìng jīpiào)** (to book a plane ticket). +
-  * **Types of Tickets:** You will often specify whether you want a **单程机票 (dānchéng jīpiào)** (one-way ticket) or a **往返机票 (wǎngfǎn jīpiào)** (round-trip ticket). +
-  * **E-Tickets:** Physical paper tickets are a thing of the past. Today, you will always deal with an **电子机票 (diànzǐ jīpiào)** (e-ticket), which is essentially a booking confirmation number. You use your ID (like a **护照 hùzhào**) to check in. +
-  * **Modifying a Ticket:** If your plans change, you might need to **改签机票 (gǎiqiān jīpiào)** (change a flight ticket) or **退机票 (tuì jīpiào)** (cancel/refund a plane ticket). +

-===== Nuances and Common Mistakes ===== +
-A critical mistake for learners is confusing **机票 (jīpiào)** with **登机牌 (dēngjīpái)**. They are not interchangeable. +
-  *   **机票 (jīpiào) - Plane Ticket:** This is your proof of purchase and reservation. It's the record that you have a seat on a flight. In the age of e-tickets, this is often just a confirmation number or QR code in an email or app. +
-  *   **登机牌 (dēngjīpái) - Boarding Pass:** This is the physical or digital document you receive **after** you check in. It contains your name, seat number, gate number, and boarding time. You cannot get on the plane with just a `机票`; you **must** have a `登机牌`. +
-**Incorrect Usage:** +
-  *   (At the boarding gate, showing a booking confirmation email) +
-  *   `这是我的机票，我可以上飞机了吗？` (This is my plane ticket, can I get on the plane?) +
-  *   **Why it's wrong:** The staff needs to see your `登机牌 (dēngjīpái)`, not your booking confirmation (`机票`). +
-**Correct Usage:** +
-  *   `我用我的**机票**预订号在网上值机，然后手机上就收到了**登机牌**。` +
-  *   Pinyin: Wǒ yòng wǒ de **jīpiào** yùdìng hào zài wǎngshàng zhí jī, ránhòu shǒujī shàng jiù shōudào le **dēngjīpái**. +
-  *   English: I used my **plane ticket**'s reservation number to check in online, and then I received the **boarding pass** on my phone. +
