As flights are bookable only in the 72 hours before the flight exists, let say my flight is on every monday, would and traveller wanting to travel on thursday wait for my flight to appear or simply book a connection flight...? And thus, if I want to capture all passenger on a route, does that mean I need at least 3 flights per week? And for any weekly flight, adding another flight with 72 hours offset would automatically give you double the passenger amount?
Passengers do not have any preference for travel dates.
For each demand calculation, passengers will be dispatched to all available flights for booking at the time of the passenger distribution.
Consequently, two evenly-distributed flights weekly allows you to serve 6/7th of the weekly passengers, three lets you serve all of them.
I see.
To put it in other words, passengers cannot "see" any plane that departs more than 72 hours from when they book, and will not wait for it. As far as they're concerned, those flights don't exist.

I think it's more like "The can't see any connection that doesn't let them reach their goal withing 72 from when they book".
That. For some reason I keep mistaking the two.
