:shock: Just put the price to the max, and got a DOP of -23million, is this a feature to stop people getting more money, or is it just a bug?

How many people would pay €99 for a cup of tea?

That price still is outrageous... even for alcohol!

I charge the following prices

12.50 for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

5.50 for booze (because i want to discourage people to drink on my flights)
4.50 for a snack that consists of a bag of crisps, a kit kat and sandwich (costs a fiver on Jet 2)
3.50 for a soft drink

I just charge €1 straight through.

I know I should be charging for the best dop but it simply goes against my basic principles to charge for food.

(Thinks of the full hot meal on economy I had on a 301nm flight...and I had seconds.)

There is an optimm/perfect price for all of them, that makes the best profit. I cant remember what it is, but for some reason I think its 13$... :?

What? That's absurd. €1 is the way to go :wink:

Hmm mine doesn't seem to affect DOP or load. Bug or does it take a while?

From my experiance, in order for a route to factor those in, you need to create a route as well as reset it if it does not factor those in already.

I've fixed it so alterations are applied retrospectively, however it may take a page refresh to see the change in the DoP.
