Airline Tycoon: First Class Hints

Routes

  • Routes can be good money makers too. Buy short routes and use a plane that has high a passenger hold and low consumption rate. Because you charge per person for routes and you also pay less for fuel, you get more profit.

    Remember to check whether or not your routes are profitable. You can do this by going to your notebook (in your office, near the globe) and putting your mouse over the flight. If you are losing or making a small profit, then advertise your route if you can afford it. This should bring in a lot of passengers and money.

    Next see if your passengers are happy with your prices -- you can do this by checking your gate when it lands and looking at the thought bubble. If it is good you will know and if it is expensive they will think it. Change the prices accordingly (if you want).

    Assign routes to one plane. The best planes to do routes are:
      Concorde
      A300
      A310
      DHC 8 Dash 8
      Gulfstream II

    Once you put the routes for return flights, repeat them for the week and once you get underway, you should be raking it in.
