Hi

The Finance page shows all the monthly and daily incurred costs for your airline. One of the costs is named "Misc. Expense (Daily)" - what exactly is this cost, and how do you reduce it?

Regards

The wiki say it is from in-flight service. In the admin panel in the game you can set the prices of food and beverages in your airline. If you have them at a low price, you will loose money.

The prices affect the loadfactor, but it doesn't seem the lf is affected much. AFAIK the ideal price is around € 23.

Supposedly, yes. But even then, it's an abismal profit at best. It can be considered a flaw or bug, but a minor one.

Thanks for your messages

Currently, the misc. expenses far outweigh the misc. revenues, therefore the airline is losing money on this expense. I set the on-board services to €23 a couple of weeks ago.

I wouldn't mind if the revenues matched or superceded the expenses, so is there any way to achieve this or even remove on-board services altogether?

Regards

I just really took notice now. Im at 10m monthly revenue and 100m expense. Something tells me it is more than just the inflight services.

Miscellaneous expenses also include airport charges which probably make up a good chunk of them.

That is not correct. Airline Mogul wasn't even around in 2004.
