We should be able to charge different prices depending on season, (summer = On season, Winter = Off season), on Holidays
(Chrismas), different days of the week (Wednesday is less expensive than Friday) etc..... to make our airline more realistic.
It might take a little longer to set up routes, bu that is how it is in the real world!!

I assume that it would be very difficult to calculate. For instance, the summer is the "on-season" in Europe, but if the "off-season" in the Caribbean; we would have to figure out where peaks of demand occur & when (which is why the current sine-wave we have for demand kinda irks me). We don't even have a Christmas either as our months are only 24 days long (which I'm okay with; I like the 24 day month concept). I'm all for realism too, but it's probably just not practical to implement these measures.
The poll is a bit ambiguous. I'd answer more realistic, but for entirely different reasons than your above post.

first,please don't use caps lock. We assume that you are screaming and that's rude.

the thing about AE is that the demand is the same all-year round. Thus changing prices for each season is pointless

I`m sorry but most people spend enough time at the computer already dealing with their airline. Making it require more time to run your airline would create lots of abandon airlines throughout the game. I agree it would make it more realistic, but we have to be realistic about that this is only a game and we are not running a real airline.
