hi i started yesterday I schedules flights yet the seats are 0% so the first flight is already going to be a loss. do I need to do something else? Is the schedule right? Thanks for your help
First of all, you have to active your schedule so passengers could book your flight.
Second, you have to equip nice seat and have a nice service so passengers are willing to pay for that.
Third, it depends on demand of both airports.
Hi,
You have only activated one of your four daily flights. Green is activated, yellow is not.
Then it’s a case and sit and wait. Every airport “creates” passengers once every 24hr period. You should activate you schedule maybe 3 days delayed as this will give your passengers 3x chances to book on your flight

Ah ok thank you. So I make it 3 so I will have enough time to start filling up seats. I activate it and all went green now. Now I need to find out how maintenance works and to make it into schedule
You don't need to schedule it. Maintenance will occur any space that is blue on the flight plan...so in your case everyday between 1917 and 0735.
Thanks
Ian
hi I leased a plane and its very far.. does it come automatically? I don't think the plane can make it this far...
Thanks for your patience
Yes it will
On a ferry flight, without the weight of passengers or cargo, an aircraft can go very far. Last year, a Delta A332 flew direct from Singapore to Atlanta in 18h29m.
If needed, the transfer flight will make its own fuel stops along the way.
ok thanks very much. I changed schedule now I have 1 hell of a mess the flights I deleted from schedule are still there and the new schedule I made are there too, and the new ones are making bookings too. So in 1 word the plane is going 2 destinations?

Figure out which flights are supposed to be scheduled now, and cancel the others manually.
The game will attempt to dispatch your flight, but if the aircraft is already flying to another destination, then the scheduled departure will be cancelled. You will have to pay compensation to the booked passengers of 100% of their ticket price (in addition to not receiving the ticket revenue from the scheduled flight). It is in your interests to cancel the old schedule flights as soon as possible so they can no longer be booked, and will minimize the cancellation penalty that you will have to pay out.
Hello,
I see that you have quite a good fleet, exept that you have bought 1 aircraft and wasted all your money in the begining. Any ways it is ok if you get out profit this week and you will problably not go into bankrupcy. What I can see your airline layout is fine (route choice, aircraft, etc). I do not know about your service, seating and prices so I can not help you whit that. I think that you have been choosing a great hub as a start. The only thing I am abit worried about is that you might soon go into bankrupcy because you bought an aircraft in the begining. Also you should try to focus more in regional routes and not fly to Cairo exactly now as it has really much competition.
My advice is play whit prices and service profile and see what works. Now in the begging you should try to play whit the game by starting airlines whit different fleets and overall running concept on Quimby, and then check servers and see were you really feel good to start your airline. This is what I did in the begging, and whit my 6th airline I really stuck to Stapleton and to the area and the aircrafts, so there is were I staied. Also you could read some of the airline reports that players make on the forum about there airlines and watch Alfapiomega´s youtube toturials and really then you will see that the game is not that easy as you think even if Alfapiomega makes it look so easy. I personaly would never been playing AirlineSim if I would not happend to come up to the youtube start page about Alfapiomega´s let´s play airlinesim. Also this is a chalanging game on any phase and you should never be mad or give up, if buisness and airplanes are your hobby. I personaly in the begining thought that the game was so hard but whit some help I managed it and tottaly love it and I am sure you will too.
