Fair prices and it's payin my fuel bill!!!

I started charging a nominal fee for meals and drinks and my DOP went up 2K immediately. And that revenue is just about paying my fuel bill

I just wish that at the end of the day the profits were more consistent. Some days (AM days) I can do 6k then the next day it'll drop just under 6k. But yes it does add up if you look at the big picture with charging for food. Like stated before it pays for some peoples fuel and that ain't cheap!

I think the people who make the site really need to make food/drinks more realistic. Nobody was charging for this in the 70's. Certainly 60 euros (not that they existed at the time) for breakfast or a drink is a tad unrealistic.

It is realistic. The more the price increases the more it affects how many people drink your coffee. I charge mine at 20. As I calculated about 70% of my people drink the coffee.

If you dont like it. Leave it.

Eh...it makes those extra few €'s to pay the bills!

Realistic? Would you buy a cup of coffee for 20 euros?

Didn't think so. The system determining prices for food/drinks needs to be fixed, IMO.

If the coffee was good.. yea 20 euros

"It is realistic. The more the price increases the more it affects how many people drink your coffee. I charge mine at 20. As I calculated about 70% of my people drink the coffee."

Do you have any idea of how much negative press someone in the 70's would have gotten for charging what would be the 1970 equivalent of close to 200USD for a cup of coffee? Nobody would buy anything you were selling ever. In fact, nobody would fly on your airline as back then people were not paying for drinks or food. You'd have a serious hit not in who bought your coffee, but who got on your planes.

If you dont like it. Leave it."

Leave it? Please keep your comments and trolls to yourself. Were you able to charge $1m euros for a flight from Albany, NY to Sarasota people might think it was out of whack. The pricing structure of this totally takes away from the game.

Couldn't have said it better. Amen.

Jamaica Blue Mountain. Worth every cent

there are some premium coffees/alcohols/etc.

but yes. i'll be looking at scaling back the "peak" price to a more reasonable level. in this game, everything's assumed to be inflated back to about modern levels as well as converted to euros [however the prices on planes are auto-generated, and may deviate from "real" prices].

Did we get our answer? Can we lock this very shortly?
I feel that from the conversations that people have found an average price to charge.
