These rides follow almost the same route as High Speed types except K1305/1306. Passengers are suggested to avoid this pair of rides as they take longer time and cost more as well. Considering the running speed, it is advisable to choose the rides by the following order if the schedule fits: Z types, T types and finally K types.

K1305/1306 has stopovers at Hengshui, Liaocheng, Heze, Shangqiu, Minquan, Kaifeng.
 In addition, there are 2 pairs of flights a day between with duration around 1.5 hours. However, since the airports are far from the city center, it does not differ much if you take the transfer time into consideration. The flight ticket price is usually higher compared with rail service, thus trains, especially the high speed ones are more recommended due to their frequency and reasonable ticket price.
