General Chat / Half Routes vs. Unused Time Left On Planes

« on: June 10, 2008, 06:08:07 am »

If I have a route frequency that is "0.5" - does that mean that the aircraft is used for exactly half the time than it would be for a "1" frequency??

Yes. It does one leg of the trip one day, the return leg next day. So, half the time (each day) of a full round-trip.

If so, then should I always consider putting a route as "0.5" if it looks like it will make more than 50% of a "1" frequency?

Each plane can normally only have two "half" frequencies (no teleportation allowed). Other than this limitation yes, half frequencies are the most efficient.

Remember, however, than on each route (flights between the same pair of airports) an airline cannot have more than two planes with half-frequencies.

  Many thanks for the explanation, now I'll see if I can make a bit more profit...

Hello!

I'm brand new to this addiction and I gotta question about this topic: If I have a route frequency that is "0.5" - does that mean that the aircraft is used for exactly half the time than it would be for a "1" frequency??

If so, then should I always consider putting a route as "0.5" if it looks like it will make more than 50% of a "1" frequency?

Hope this makes sense... please be kind (my first post here   )
