I've been dying to know what is the best legroom % configuration to get into green level? Is 70% enough? Because below that would be very tough to make money.

For instance A330-300 holds 440 pax. Change it to 70% that would be 308 pax maximum --- 12 (F) 24© 272 (Y). Does this configuration can improve the legroom level? Or should i decrease it even more to 60%, that would too much?

Anyone out there in success to get the best config without sacrificing too much profit?

An A330-300 make money in 4F/30C/196Y.
I believe this gives ninety to ninety five percent legroom rating. I still profit fine.
However, as almost all in game rep, especially legroom, is BS, I wouldn't worry.

Profit in 4/24/176 is still quite good, I used to have it on my Far East routes.

It doesn't really matter in game actually, and green is actually easy to get

Try 4/32/203? (Sheepy's optimal)

You dont need to go lower than 85% i prefer the 90 - 94% range myself.

[Dohi]

OMG. that would be ranging from 46% to 54% out of maximum capacity .......
and i thought 70% capacity is enough already ....

well thanks for your info.

[Sheepy]

Well, it's realistic...
Maximum capacity is maximum capacity.

anybody know what is the real life legroom of real airlines? i know Singapore Airlines fly A330-300, i wonder what is the real config for their fleet?

thanks Conor.

now, by the seat arrangement attached, apparently Singapore Airlines is using 30 © and 259 (Y), with no first class (this aircraft is used for Japan routes). that means 289/440 or 65% out of max capacity.

Lufthansa operates a 3 class A330-300 as follows:
8F
48C
165Y

This isn't the best layout for AE, Sheepy's layout is better suited.

You can visit their website
Singapore Airlines (and other airlines I think) upload their exact seat configuration and also the layout in pictures (like let’s say business is 1-2-1 and economy is 3-3-3 or 3-4-3)
Recently their new A350-900ULR which they will use for their record breaking Singapore-New York flight only has 161 seats although the plane can take more than 300 passengers. And also they only have Business and Premium Economy (no economy). And the layout is weird because they have 67 business if I’m not mistaken and the rest all premium.
