Another couple of extended newbie questions please?

1/. If cancelling a lease early are there any associated fees? I searched the forum and could not find anything on this more recent than 2010??

2/. If I have two bases and run a flight from Base 1 to Base 2 (frequency 1), and another flight from Base 2 to Base 1 (frequency 1) are they competing against each other?

thanks, Graham

Game Strategy / Re: Buying planes off the market

Why are there price variations in the market for the same acft type please?
For example

Airline Name    ID     Aircraft                    Value          Age    Cycles    A/f Hours    Price

D Express      18      Embraer EMB 110C    €2,787,143    0         0           0              €2,858,569    Buy

D Express      706    Embraer EMB 110C    €3,042,073    0         0           0              €3,058,854    Buy

Acft appear to be identical yet there is a value and price difference?

Furthermore if you click on the buy button you get the following information
Airline Name    Aircraft ID    Aircraft    Value          Price
D Express    18    Embraer EMB 110C    €922,632    €2,858,569

what is the value as compared to the price please?
Why is the value in this listing so much less than the value in the table above for the same acft?

Sorry for newbie questions but I am confused by all this above

Oh. Now I have a huge gap on the left.
FF
1920x1080

I get the same problem with FF (15.0.1) but IE and Google Chrome are both okay

Is it good practice to run 2 acft on the same route?
Is it better to send the 2nd acft to another destination?
Are there any tips about longer routes vs shorter routes? By that I mean am I better running for example 7 return short routes or 3 return longer routes with the same acft?
Sorry to bombard you with questions but I am keen further my understanding and progresss.

Thanks that gives me some more ideas to work with :-)
Can I 'return gates' or do I just have to wait for them to be closed at the end of the month due inactivity?
I am sure there will be heaps more questions, but I will absorb these tips first and see how far that takes me - thanks again ;-)

Forum code: Airline Mogul - See my airline
World Info URL: http://www.airlinemogul.com/airlinemogul/world_info.php?wid=2444
Current bases: Melbourne(Tullamarine)
DOC:€ 129,898

Goals: just want to learn how to play the game so that I don't make as many mistakes the next time

Ok signed up to this yesterday and so far I like what I see.
However after following the basic tutorial to get a route operating (now have 4 routes) I am not really clear on how to continue growing?
Should I look at getting more aircraft to operate from my single base?
Am I better off establishing a second base (or more), or just working from the one base?
Where can I see how efficiently I am using my one aircraft and if there is spare capacity for another route?
Is it worth setting up routes to smaller regional airports close to my base, or should I concentrate on larger cities that are more distant?

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but I did try searching for bits of info without much success, hence the post 
thanks for any help or suggestions
