Can AE put frequent flyers / loyalty programs in AE 4.0 or 3.1?
because if you have a loyalty program you can make the reputation of your airline better and you can get more passengers because they get discounts that you can make for them... As an example: i want to give them 10% discount on domestic flights and i give them 25% discount if they fly long-haul.

Frequent flyer programs are a big part of attracting and retaining high-yield customers, and selling FF miles to credit card companies is an effective way to raise cash for an airline. In principle I would love to have FF programs in AE 4. The main challenge I see is the huge range of unique, ever-changing FF schemes in real life, which we need to distill into workable game mechanics.

 

Do we allow airlines to choose between issuing miles, revenue-based points, or some combination of the two (see Delta and United's programs today)? We also have to think about benefits: setting the availability and pricing of award tickets (per route? per flight?), cabin upgrades (complimentary, paid with annual certificates, miles, miles + copay, or all of the above), and other benefits (access to select lounges, special security lines at hub airports, different baggage fees/policies, priority in the boarding process, exit row reservation availability, etc). In addition, how do each of those options work when interacting with alliance partners (a big factor in choosing an FF program)? If we can simplify those options to meaningful game mechanics, I think it would be a good addition to the game.
