Understanding 'via' flights

Dear fellow Anet,

First of all, my airline is based in Australia operating in Nicosia.

I am trying to schedule a route from Perth to Bangkok via Singapore. So meaning to say my route would be Perth -> Singapore -> Bangkok (BKK). Now I understand I have the passenger traffic right from Perth to Singapore but not Singapore to Bangkok.

Here’s my question.

In a flight of Perth -> Singapore -> Bangkok (BKK), does the passenger who board my flight solely wants to go Singapore only leaving my Singapore - Bangkok route empty?

Or

Passengers who board my flight from Perth comprises of passengers going to Singapore and Bangkok combined together?

Anyone care to enlighten me on this?

the latter

some pax will get off at SIN, some fly on to BKK, but you will have a hard time making a profit on the second leg.

btw, if you were to connect SIN from more Australian cities, all of them can (with regard to transfer times) board your SIN BKK flight. still, will be tough to fill them.

How bout the fare?

I understand if we do a via flight, I can only set price from Perth to Singapore and Singapore to Bangkok. I cant exactly set price from Perth to Bangkok.

Let’s say Perth to Singapore is $100 and Singapore to Bangkok is $50. So if a passenger is boarding from Perth and all the way to Bangkok, does it mean the fare is $100 + $50?

That’s interesting…I didn’t know. So you are allowed to carry onwards the passengers that arrived with you somewhere out of your home country/treaty? Is that so? For instance, being based in Europe can I build a network flying from several Euro cities to NYC and then onwards to West Coast cities? Would those flihgts also collect pax from interlining passengers at NYC?

Of course

Sure

No,

you can only transport those passangers to the westcoast that arrived with your flights at NYC

Hello

This theme was already approached here : http://community.airlinesim.aero/topic/2974-via-flights/

I had the same problem : the via flights are not working like in the reality

If you have a route between A, B and C, and have no traffic rights between B and C, you won’t have many passengers on this portion of the route

Instead of calculating the passengers from A to C like in the real life, the system often consider that the majority of your passengers lands at B

In the real life, airlines can also sale tickets from B to C : when I was searching a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok, a Lufthansa flight was proposed, in A340…

I think this function of the game could be a little bit reviewed considering these facts

See u !
