Just a suggestion for those tempted, DO NOT BUY THE A380. The most profitable route i've managed to set it up on is LHR-PEK (€22,610). There are other routes out there such as ATL-LHR which can give a profit of about €65K, but compared to the cost of the plane and the profit from other planes in the same route, its not worth it (ATL-LHR; 773 €181K; 767 can give slightly higher)

Were you the only airline on these routes?
Otherwise, the advice of sticking with aircraft under 300pax still rings true.

Yup. Personally I don't agree with that rule as there are many aircraft which are more than 300 seats and can give a very healthy profit. I have the 773 and 763ER in my fleet with seats of 550 and 350 respectively. Out of my 589 routes, the highest profit for a route I have on the 773 is €182K; 763ER: €186K. My highest profit 773 is gaining €385K a day while highest 763ER is €334K.
The issue isn't the aircraft seats, its mainly how efficiently you use them.

Don't buy any L/H at all :P It only looks nice on your route map, although that's over too when you go over 1000 routes.

The simplest rule to go by is don't buy planes that seat more than 300 people.
