In Topic: Economy (Y) cabins?

I run my airline on semi-Marxist principles: it is elitist to put fewer seats than maximum, because that means some people get a more luxurious seat at the expense of others who don't get a seat at all.

 

I give free helicopter rides.

I still don't think I am understanding this. 44 daily seats. 1 flight with 12 seats. Is this 1 flight 1 daily flight per week, or 1 flight period per week?

 

1) Click the settings tab (top right)

 

2) Find the group is labeled "Routes" (it's listed 2nd)

 

3) Click the box next to "View statistics by"

 

4) Choose "Weekly"

 

5) Save settings

OK. This image is from my other airline Piss Poor Airlines. I am the only airline on this route. I have more Y seats than demand, yet each flight has 174 Y. Where do these other pass come from and how can I calculate these?

>Where do they come from

It is being filled via your airline reputation, which increases the original demand. Once again this will not appear on the graph,but it does exist.

 

>How do I calculate it

I am unaware of the exact formula, which would include multiple variables, but if you play the game for a few weeks you will get the feeling for it.

 

 

In this one, I have a 12 seat AN-2. This image shows that instead of offering 12 seats, I am only offering and filling 2 seats. On the flight tab it shows 12 of 12.

 

It's actually 1.71

(12/7)

 

But the graphs do not render decimals.

If you want to change the view to weekly you can under settings.

Using the most profitable IFE/IFS settings will allow you to have as many flights as you want and remain profitable with most airplane types no matter how far over the limit you go,but hubs will increase the virtual demand based on how many total pax go through the airport yearly. You will not see the demand increase on the graph, for example in your picture 281 will never go up graphically, but the reality is that it can go up to basically 9999 if you have enough passenger traffic in your hub. In my experience, the correct time to open a hub is when you reach 10 full gates and directly before you build a terminal.

Do you have to wait until they are sold by an existing airliner...?

yes
