Hi

Sorry if this has been brought up before i searched the forums, and checked the wiki with no luck. What does it really do?
What does it match the price with? It makes it a lot easier to run a large airline if it does some sort of price making for maximum profit but that would make the game to easy and not fun.

Thanks, EuroFly

Yes, matches the lowest prices on that route........if you have 465 and the other guy 265, your price will go to 265 also

And that lowest fare may be significantly lower than what you could be charging to get 100% loads...

Does match the lowest price also match competitors price if my price is lower? Using your example, if my price 265 and other guy 465, does my price increase to 465?

That sucks. Can you make it match lowest price on the routes that are higher. And leave the ones that are lower alone.

It matches the lowest of all prices on the route, including your own. So using his example, your price would stay at 265.

See above.
