Got any tips or tricks on how to do well at start up?

Sell the plane they give you straight away - buy a few smaller ones and start some regional routes. Make sure you keep enough for fuel

Forget any airline logic!!

Have a look at the game guide - there's some useful stuff in there.

Buy Dassault Mercures - about 800k a pop, decent range and decent passenger carrying ability. Base your routes on the longest range and highest demand you can find.

Buy some catering - the cheap stuff first. Cashflow is important and catering helps bring in a bit - not much but at the start it's useful.

and fuel - usually cheapest around 4-00am!! But occasionally it take s a dive between 1000 and 1100 (Irish time) - this morning at about 1130 it was $400 / 1000lbs

Been at it a week now and have a fleet of 40 aircraft

yeah, spent a few days messing around with ATRs and ERJ before piling into the Mercures - chugging along nicely with a fleet of 123 now - 98 Mercures, 20 DC-10-10s and the legacy ATRs and ERJs -

my main problem is fuel - I'm almost on vapours waiting for it to dip back to 400 to 600 per 1000lbs

Mc Love · 07-11-2010, 14:57

Fuel at 400 euro now!

Anyone still playing this?
My share value is at $1238,running 278 A380's,179 B787-8's,a few other Boeing,a couple of A330-300 and A340-300's and a handful of A380F's...
It's a lot faster than it used to be,and gets very addictive once you get roped in
