Thanks for your advice psuedoswede.

But I have (gulp) ordered an A330-200 !

Figured it would be fun and hey, why not. This game is great fun and so thought I would try to see how lucrative I can make LH compared to my SH operation.

In 3 days I will let you know if there is a new A330 for sale 

I will keep you posted.

Fly Hi.

Thanks everyone, all this info+advice is great.

One thing I really enjoy about this game and forum, is everyone is so friendly and happy to share some top tips.

Hopefully, I will be able to do the same for another enthusiastic newbie too!

As it has always been my intention to have FUN with this game, not to be No1 (I think that would just take too much time, respect to those that do) I have taken the plunge..........

Ordered an A330-200 

Should open up a whole new game experience and I am pretty excited about it too.

Will keep you posted. Fly Hi all.

I did look into that A/C

I went for the EMB ERJ 190ER instead.

More seats, slightly longer range, faster and less crew
Retails at 6M more than the TU-334-100

I understand that.
Was just wondering if the A319 LR was actuarlly worth it's price tag.

(I LOVE THIS GAME)
Despite peeps being in my World who are streets ahead (I just wanna finish in the top 20) I have another question.

I'm  a shorthaul operater, biggest A/C is a A320.

I read the WIKI, Know my own limits as a shorthaul airline etc.

I would like to start some longhaul with an AIRBUS A319LR as an experiment

Because I do not wanna rule the 'World' Is this a viable option?

I am wondering how you have added LH (long haul) to your operation.

Is this a justified way of adding extra slots?

Thanks for that, my litlte airline has done quite well through the night (logged in and have jumped 3 places up the rankings!!)

Will keep you posted.

There are some MAJOR players in my World, the top 10 all have a minimum Value of over 10 BILLION!

Fly HI all.

Hello there fellow Airline operators.

I'm just after guidence, I HAVE also read the WIKI.

Apologies if this has been asked elsewhere.

I joined the game yesterday (Im in a PVT WORLD) Name is Flybynight747

After some pretty disastrous gate renting, I thought 2 frequencies meant you needed 2 gates IN SINGAPORE at 300.000 EACH.
Then added another by mkistake, add to this HKG with 300.000 gate costs and well...... Aint I the Muppet. (I can hear you laughing)

But I refused to be beaten and have cracked on.

I'm a small operator, don't want to conquer the World (just not be last in my group)
I operate 1 A320-200, run on 5 routes. Hours are absolutely maxed out.

my DOC is 427K

Is this a good start do you think from your experience? (despite the awful gate process, self inflicted?)

Please understand, I'm not asking this for derisory or indeed compliment, I just want to know if it's a reasonable start?

Thanks in advance.

happy flying all. FBN
