So 747s and A380s are not really good in the game, I am about to make the jump to long haul and i am deciding whether to get A300s or 747s two successful aircraft in real life... I'll have to make new hubs lol and try and make it work lol

I like your idea of area population.

I know many people fly short distance around Denmark. etc.

But Virgin Atlantic have made a successful business model of only long haul, Long haul is where the money is in the airline industry, it avoids competing with trains etc. the long and short of it is I would not pay 1000€ to fly from Paris to Paris... for example, in the grand scheme of things short haul is less money making than long haul.
 I think the region idea is very good how ever i currently am charging people to fly to Lyon from Heathrow 1000€ not exactly perfect. i guess it would be hard to implement a perfect model however.

Just throwing my idea's into the mix, until it is sorted though I feel a flight from LHR to LGW for 800€ sounds pretty good.

Hi my first post. I was thinking about what you said about the pricing system. No one really takes a plane to fly less than 100-200 km/miles. Thus made add a modifier thus plane flies for 200 miles gives a modification of 1.00 on the price, if a plane only flies 100 miles then the prices i multiplied by 0.5 (halving the price) if plane flies 400 miles it is multiplied by 2.00 etc. along those lines. it is a rough idea if people don't understand I'll be glad to have another knack at explaining it.

I just created a route from Heathrow to Gatwick and am charging 40 people 600€ for the pleasure haha.
