I understand if I am based in country A and have a flight A-B and another flight B-C (each in different countries), then B-C will only take ppl who join from flight A-B since i dont have rights at country B. So that means they can transit to another of my own flights in another country?
Now what if an airline based at B flies A-B and I interline with it - does this mean people from this different airline also be able to join my B-C flight? (because I have rights in A…)
no passengers will board your plane in B if the destination is not your country A.
There is however one exception. Let’s say you have several planes flying to B: a plane from A1 to B, another plane from A2 (A3, A4 and so on) to B. The airports A1, A2 (A3 and so on) are in your home country. And one of these planes continues its flight from B onwards to C. In this case passengers from A1, A2 and A3 can take your connecting flight to C.
You can turn B into a virtual hub if you have flights arriving in B from different airports in your home country, and then different flights leaving from B to other foreign airports C, D, E…
There are several exceptions if your home country signed a treaty as the YD (several African countries). For example: It’s possible to fly with full traffic rights HRE-LUN-LLW if you’re based in HRE. Have a look at the wiki, you will all the answers there.
HelloI’ve got a question on via flightFor example if I fly from Frankfurt to Bangkok via Kuala Lumpur, my flight from Kuala to Bangkok is always empty (2 or 3 pax), even at the standard price and even when I’ve IĹs In both destinationsDoes anyone have an explanation ?thanksF
All your passengers are getting off in Kuala Lumpar and you can’t get new passengers there. Probably, you should make the flight just a direct flight to Kuala Lumpur and not via Bangkok. If you want to fly to Bangkok, I’d recommend a new route from Frankfurt directly there.
ok but i need to do this via to fill my planninghas someone another idea ?should I break price on the BKK KUL route, to fit with a real price from FRA to KUL and to BKK ?
Right now, any passengers on the KUL-BKK leg are your own, transfered from the FRA-KUL leg. For passengers to board in KUL you’d have to have at least 5th freedom rights.
I have passengers on the last segment, but only 2 or 3
so I would like to know why
is it because the fare from departure is added with fare of the final leg, so I should put a price of 10 or 20 AS$ on the last leg to have passengers from departure ?
That would probably be the easiest way to convince them to book the second leg as well. Whether that’s commercially feasible is a different story. Also: Note that you have to stay above minimum prices, even for single legs of via-flights!
The "2 to 3" passengers on your second leg are passengers that also booked the first leg and continued on to the second leg. They are not local p-2-p traffic. In fact, they should show up as incoming internal transfers on the flight detail screen.
Now it’s me who has a question regarding via flights. If my airline is from Argentina and I make a via flight from an Uruguayan airport to another Uruguayan airport via an Argentinean one, can I get the passengers from the first Uruguayan airport to book both legs of the flight, thus making it a “domestic” flight?
It looks like for via flight through a third country without traffic right, it is better to fly to some small cities (even transfer impossible does not matter) to make sure a balance for first seg and second seg.
A ------> B -------> C
Say, if the airplane has 100 seat, if no PAX go to the B airport, all room 100 seat is spared for PAX fly to C.
If there is 10 PAX fly from A to B, then you can only get maximum 90 PAX on the second seg with A to C.
So making sure do not via a large airport for the hop flight!
Is the connecting time have nothing to do with transfer pax?
Meaning: if i fly MIA-DEN-LAX (via DEN) and arrival time DEN is 20:00 dep DEN is 20:00 (even with ground time buffer i not reach MCT) i understand i will have bookings on:
MIA-DEN
DEN-LAX
but with time in DEN below MCT do i still carry pax MIA-LAX?
I am not sure in motioned before and of course may not be easy at all,
but a good idea (maybe) was to have one more option except VIA, lets say TECH STOP, to use it for fuel-stops only. During that function sales of pax/freight to be “close”. An in this case ground time could be calculated only for taxi-in/out and refueling on the new version.
Once more it is just a simple idea and not even a recommendation, since something easy to me as user maybe extremely hard for developers.
