What goes into Miscellaneous revenues?

food and drink is miscellaneous revenues (i think that's what Vamerica meant). miscellaneous fees is like maintenence, leasing costs, etc.

The cash you get from the people buying the food and drinks

Specifically, the line item labeled Misc. Expense, which is separate from Misc. Revenue. Below Fuel & Staff, above Gate Rental, Maintenance, & Lease.

I don't remember it from the last round, but maybe I'm just experiencing early senility.

If it is Cost of Goods Sold for the Food & Drink, it means I'm only making about €300 per game month from food and drink, and I'm starting to wonder if that is worthwhile.

Misc. Revenue is food & drink sales, as noted previously by my esteemed colleagues.

Misc. Expense= the money it takes to buy all the food and drinks.

I like all the answers. here's the official one.

A portion of it is food/drink, yes. It also encompasses a few small fees which have been applied to any given route. A mild passenger fee, airport landing fee, and one or two other weak fees have been created in a mild attempt to both model more realistic expenses as well as to slow the game down a little more.

Food/drink costs about 1 euro per item [i know, i wasn't quite creative enough to come up with more accurate numbers] sold.

This is rip-off!

Can we introduce a factor that the pax start rioting if the alcohol costs more then 20$ per bottle?

i might start rioting if soda or snack was overpriced -- id be outraged if hot chocolate cost that much, but im underage so i dont drink alcohol
