Are B707s really worth it? Or would it be more efficient having 2 Starliners?

B-707 & Starliners aren't worth it.(Starliners may be a bit better, though)

If you're going for a long haul, buy Tu-114D
If Tu-114D doesn't fir your requirement, buy IL-62 but use them wisely or you will lose money from maint. cost.

Yes they are slow but, I have found that I save a good sum of money on fuel using them instead of 707s or any similar jet like the DC10 .

I don't see the DC6B, DC7C, or the Starliner. Are they in World 8 or have different names? Sorry, I'm new here.

wow thanks for all the replies, which leads to my next question...

In general, is it better to do 0.5 routes on longhaul routes than 1.0 frequencies?

for my routes, they're pretty short (longest 5 hours) with 1 for freq, but if you're talking about 10 hours or 15, I would do 0.5 because that just took up 10 or 15 hours. But its your choice. Or you can experiment when you're making your routes. Under the freq button, put either 0.5 or 1 and put the price. which ever one gets the most money, you could do it that way or look at your competiton and see what they did.

Most of the long haul can only do 0.5 / 1 freq. (Except Corcorde / Concordeski(Tu-144))
0.5 freq. are better in long haul, but not short haul.
