believe it or not, but i made a profit of over 100k on a route where the price was under 10 last round, there is always a way to make a living in this game.
1€ fares are also a trademark of LCC, so whats the problem, someone either has a damn good plan or he can afford to fly that cheap AND make money
Well, LFC (Low Fare Carrier), like Ryanair is known to be. LCC (like JetBlue or Southwest) would be the airline keeping the airline's costs down. I've had to do low fare flying a few times last round too and made a very good profit from doing so. This round, planes are smaller, so this won't go through. But I think restricting fares to 1 Euro minimum is good enough for most who play the game. It sorta is in the life cycle of the route, which goes like this:
-Big money making route
-a few enter, price goes under 100 Euro
-many enter, goes below 50 Euro
-One player decides to flush out the route, charges 1 Euro
-Many supposidly leave the route for the time.
-Prices go back up.
-Cycle restarts.
I'm personally suprised that the cycle is starting so early, my experiance has been that they come later, but that was from a certain game that many had grown tired of for many reasons.
