    All,

    If the demand % is low does this alos affect the ticket price or just bums on seats?

    I ask this as one of my bases has dropped to 65% demand. And was wondering if I should move the 30+ aircraft from this base.

    Ticket price is effected by distance travelled (in general there are exceptions).
    % demand has an impact on how many tickets you will sell.

    Usually i'll close an itinerary when it drops below 90%,the $5,000 close fee is worth it if you can pick up another route with 99% demand.

    Well,
    The demand can drop to %85 and you can still have full flights I have found but yes, that 5k fee for dropping a route is worth paying if you are losing 10 or 20 seats per flight.

    I'm saving for a 787, but just saw this price so spent all my $14,250,000 to buy 95,000,000lbs of fuel! That'll keep me going for a while, but pity I've no money to get the 100,000,000 achievement!

    managed to get 60mill. by the time I set off a few flights and came back to buy the rest the price went back up again. :(

    First time I seen it at €150. I thought 400 was as low as it went?

    It was at $200 per 1000lb about three/four weeks for a few days ago during the time when some company found some major reserves of fule......(according to the latest news section)
    $150 is the lowest I have seen.

    What was the aircraft? as AM is a little flakey and if it is a bug like the A318 might be still there.

    aircraft was b767-200. Bought plane, selected route when flight screen came up there were two flights waiting to be started...they're happily flying away, i know they're seperate as i have to advertise them both and staff/maintian them as well.

    Whats the a318 bug?

    Click on the "Achievements" link on the overview page (app's home page), it should then update and give you your bonus!

    I have done that about 20 times and still no 747 achievement. Its been 3 days now....

    you'll get it eventually. I only got the hub achievement the other day, a week after I selected one. Got my logo one within an hour. The other achievements have been applied randomly as well, sometimes days after earning them. clicking the update achievement thing doesn't always work.

    Are you Paul ...

    I am! I take it you know me!?

    I've scanned through the last 80-odd pages and have noticed the stuff I published on the AM forum a few weeks ago has been reposted another FOUR times on this thread!!!! I'm glad to see it was useful!

    And yes, to those who've asked is the info reliable, well I been playing for a while now and I noticed that the prices alternated throughout the day so they weren't random, therefore I decided to log when they changed... I can now tell when the fuel goes up and down for each hour through the day, but not always...

    For example - and I have to laugh, I was busy earlier so I missed the $150 fuel price :rolleyes: ... not to worry, I've noticed a slight pattern there aswell so I'll wait another while longer before I could post it here with any certainty!

    If any of you have definite dates and times when the REALLY LOW prices appear, send them to me and I'll be able to verify that pattern!

    By the way, Fuel will be back down to $400 per 1,000lbs by 11pm tonight Irish Time! But don't panic if AM is undergoing maintenance, it'll still be $400 when they come back - but only until midnight when it again goes up to $1,600! ;)

    You my friend, are a genius :D Any advice for my airline, breffney airlines? It would be much obliged

    And there it is again - $1,600!!! yeaaahh!

    @Breffney - advice for you eh? Well I wouldn't want to set a precedent and then deny others the same advice so I'll just say this...

    If you're starting off from scratch...
    1. Fly your planes with Billboard advertising, they are almost always full, and make sure you only buy it in 3 or 4 day blocks when it's cheapest - Mon & Thursdays - $5,000

    2. Buy fuel at $400 on Saturdays and Wednesdays only - buy enough for your planes - don't go nuts at the start, you can't buy both planes AND fuel in the early days!!

    3. DON'T waste your pax points on fuel, they are VEEEERY slow to get back - save for something you really want!

    4. SAVE for at least 3 or 4 days at a time to buy good aircraft, don't buy lots of little ones - staff costs get crazy

    5. Don't chase the achievements at the start, concentrate on building a good fleet.

    6. It will take you at least 4 weeks to build up a decent fleet - just be patient

    I've been playing this for 2 months now and now I'm making about $400 million per day! Building up slowly at first and then pow!!!... a bit like 1x2=2 ... 2x2=4 ... 4x2=8 ... 8x2=16 ... 16x2=32 ... 32x2=64 ... 64x2=128 ... 128x2=256 ... 256x2=512 ... 512x2=1024 ... 1024x2=2048 ... 2048x2=4096 and so on... building rapidly in the later stages!

    Any should i be focusing on longer routes that bring in more money but take longer to recover or shorter journeys where you can do them more often?

    changed my mind on the 747 and spent a load of cash today upgrading capacity on my short haul flights so now have 66 routes flying:

    B757-300 1
    Jetstream 41 1
    Legacy 500 2
    Phenom 100 1
    Yak-42D 34
    BAC 111-500 6
    B737-200C 2
    B707 20

    Now gonna concentrate on saving up and buying 2 B747s before embarking on a mission to have a route flying from Dublin that lands in every country :)

    OneWing Airlines could do with a few more investors.

    Shares are at $2.46 and have risen about $0.40 since this time yesterday and are only going to rise faster.

    Currently about a day away from buying our first 747-300 aircraft.

    OneWing Airlines first 747-300 has arrived and shares have now risen over $3.
