The 80 minute flight was Xiamen - Hong Kong cattle class Dragonair. :lol:  I also fly Hong Kong - Manila sometimes, a 100 minute flight.  On the flight back on cattle class on Philippine Airlines, we got served seafood and rice in the most delicious gravy and it had 2 juicy pieces of scallop!

My only "regional" EU flight was LHR-Helsinki on Finnair, cattle class.  Nice meal but rather small by my standards!

you need lots of routes
I only have 6 routes and I'm making about $422 a month.  My costs are low though, I tried to keep them as to what they would be during the 50's and just bring things up as the time goes along.

They'll only kick in on existing routes once they're edited. i still am not smart enough to make the script backwards update all the routes. :? it's on the to-do list though.

Set the prices:

there are various affects on revenue based on how many seats are filled on any given plane and the price set.  (you'll likely sell few of anything listed at 99.99, sell a lot of stuff but with little revenue if it's set at .5).  There is a peak balance, the exact number i haven't bothered to calculate (and i will not share it).  a few fun things are taken into account (flight time, passengers on the plane, etc).  so, you're not likely to sell any 99.99 euro meals on a 30 minute flight which has no passengers on it. but you're likely to see larger revenues from a fully loaded 747 flying a 12 hour long flight.

if you edit or create a route after the price is set, you should see an increase in the misc revenue in finance... if not, something seems to be up and i'll look into it.  it appears to be working from my end, as i see some revenues in my own flights from this little feature.

So basically after setting the food/drink prices we should edit/update all routes?

Edit: Tried the above... works! Edited all routes and I have now a projected revenue. Will see how that projection lives up to actual revenue.

I have set my prices, and it looks like I am making more than 1,000 euros per day so far off of 3 DC-3s flying 12 routes.  My monthly miscellaneous profit is 31k...

Sorry for bringing it back..

I had reasonable prices for 1 month, e.g. €5 Alcohol  €3 Snacks  €10 Breakfast

And what was my profit for it?

Consolidated Monthly Misc Revenue €179,901

Then, once I saw this I tried everything €99.99

And profit was then...

Consolidated Monthly Misc Revenue €9,671

May not seem like much but it can pay off a small gate every month  :lol:  :lol:
