SECOND BASE

[petra]

can someone tell me how to create a second base plz

[Thunderstruck]

Hi,

Say you want to open a base at Chicago Midway. Proceed as follows:

* Rent four gates at Midway. This is a prerequisite for creating a new focus city.
* Hover your cursor over "OPERATIONS" then click on "Create Base"
* Chose Chicago Midway from the drop-down list.

Creating a new hub costs money - the amount will be indicated in the drop-down list.

Hope that helps.

To be exact, creation of a new base costs 60x the price of a gate; plus four gates. The total price will be 64x the cost of one gate. Keep that in mind so you don't rent four gates, just to discover you don't have enough money for a base.

what about if im going to use one of the allince hub do i need to rent a gate int he city he have a hub or no

You will have to rent a gate in any airport you will fly into. But you don't need a base in order to fly alliance routes.

if i lease an Ac  who pays Maintenance Fees  me or the airline i lease the AC from

The owner of the aircraft pays the maintenance fees. That's why it usually is good to lease expensive planes.

thank you for all the helo.
one more thing do you recomend me i join alliance or is it still too early for me and if i do join one what is the good or bad can come out of it

[1993matias]

The only benefit of joining an alliance is that you get to fly from other airlines bases. Some alliances offer a community, but the majority don't.

i ran into a little problem i joined an allince with a maxiumun of 25 flight from each alliance hub i used all 25 flight but i need to do more from the same city if i opened my own hub in that city can i fly more than 25 or i will be still restricted by 25 flight

If you open your own hub, you can fly as many routes as you want.
