Of the 42 airports in Europe over 8.5M only 5 have gates left!!!!!!!

No.
THIS IS AIRLINE MOGUL!
...
Sorry.

Real Funny :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

gotta get the good gates early.

If this was the "other" game, there would be no gates left period at the end of year 1. Perhaps it might be time to run that bankrupt script to free up gates at airports? Not sure, but all I can say is be patient, you'll never know if someone will build a terminal and free up some gates.

The issue is that the auto-bankrupt script has issues of its own resulting in players feeling that they are unfairly bankrupted. -sigh-
@a1b23, it might be a good idea to take a break from AM if it is driving you insane. We don't want to get sued for causing you a mental condition. :wink:

Heh, yea, should put up a sign that says, ''Full, come back in two weeks''

just be glad there is even one gate left. last round i happened to be browsing europe for the heck of it and found an open LHR gate, and took it. Never saw another open gate there 'till the auto-bankrupt script. ;)

just as an advice: Try it just after daychange!

If he is really located in Montreal he will have to get up early. :roll:

Last time I checked, there were a number of large airports in Europe with real-life problems, such as lack of stands/gates (Dublin for example) and runways.

a1b23, stop complaining. There's about 300+ airports in Europe you can fly to.. even with more DOP on them. Munich-Zagreb would make more money than Munich-all the Londons.

:lol: Now everybody located in Munich or Zagreb will connect both cities.

Yeah, and some noob will put in a 737 with 6 freq to really make sure the route is dead :lol:

Heck I'm in Cincinnati and thanks to working out of the house coupled with clinical insomnia (mixed with a little clinical OCD thanks to this effin' game) I've managed to snag gates at every 250k and larger airport in Europe except Vienna. I only started the game in February 1971 and think I've got some decent gates all things considered though this is my first ever round of AM - I'm still learning the in's and out's. (Dodo Air if you really care.)
The daily rollover really is the way to go, but do your research. The way I got LHR, MAD, FRA and CDG was I viewed the airport earlier that day and looked for gate utilization. If someone has 10 gates but >90% utilization that means that maybe one gate would be opening up that night. Knowing that the rollover is about 4 minutes past the hour I just hit refresh at 4:04AM and grabbed three of them in one night. Four night ago I picked up 10 gates this way while trying to expand my TATL routes.

Then it's a competitive measure, but when a 8600+ member adds 8 freq with a 737-200ADV to a 3K pax airport that I am the only operator at, it's not about competition, that's stupid...

Another way to go may be to look at players that have over 25 gates (a terminal) and are growing fast. I know that, on those nights when I spend hours on end creating new routes (and extending terminals at up to >3M per gate :shock: ) I'm forced to release lots of gates. Breaks my heart to let them go. :cry:

Well, yes, I do agree, that month change is the way to go, but for a majority of us in the Western Hemisphere (anything past GMT +4), it comes extremly early for us this round (I'm still in bed then, you know, school stuffs), which dosn't bother me too much, since the last two rounds they were at hours when I was still awake, so I guess it's only fair to give someone on the other side of the world a chance to take advantage of the month change without having to stay up all night.

I agree with you there, most of the time they are also to quickly lease one, so a route like that for the most part will make nothing but a loss on this route after all the costs are considered. But the best I can do is try to counter it slightly with a Tu-134A (even though they have their fares so low at this point, it just makes more sense for them to just go into the negatives and eventually have the bankrupt script take care of the rest for me.)

Aaaaah... I didn't realize the flip fluctuated from round to round. I kind of like it the way it is now... Hardly any US players are up as late as I am grabbing gates. :)

This topic is insanity. What's the point of posting this anyways? :?

Here's my $0.02.
If you have a hub at ANY major airport, BUILD YOUR OWN GATES! You open up more, and can build like 20 gates for the price of a 737.
