I don't know what is funnier: seeing other people do 1 Euro flights and/or 100x routes, or just the fact that there are people who would stoop as low for God know's what reason...

Eh, I guess the first is funnier.  The second one is kind of a given...

The funny thing is in both cases the person doing it is losing money. Piles of money. Basically if you do 100 frequencies between even two small airports, that's a million in gate fees alone. Meaning just to cover gate fees the revenue would have to be about 42k a day. Between 2 50k airports, yeah, like that's gonna happen.

***Points that cabin floor is 20 feet off the ground, and a jetbridge is therefore necessary for safe egress***

I never said that you would exit the plane un-harmed

I always think that those 1 euro flights are only meant to PO players.

My airline is less than a week old, but I'm not constantly getting screwed over by $1 Routes (If anybody knows how to make a euro sign on an american keyboard, tell me). Would you like to know why? It's because I found a decently sized niche market that wasn't on a clickfest. Heck, a third of my routes aren't competed with. I have only once ever had to adjust a price due to route saturation. And that was Tucson-Phoenix, so it was to be expected anyway. You see why I'm sucessfull just by looking at my route list/map. And as much as I never wanted to use the phrase, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Please, for insert deity here's sake, base at a 100K or 150K airport next round. It's so much easier than LHR and ATL.  :wink:

To type the € symbol on a North American keyboard, use ALT + 0128 (number keypad only)
