you can sort those gates by names, distance, eic. :roll:

i don't see there are any significant advantages of using premium gate search


There are extra filters that Cheung has left out. There are also criteria to leave out airports that have  0 gates left, along with criteria to search just gates you own. And finally there is a create route button beside every result that opens in a new window or a new tab. Greatly increasing the speed of creating routes.

Edit: I have given you access to Premium Gate Search until midnight tonight Irish Time. You should get an idea if you like the feature.

IT's not copying. It's sorting the Gate Search to show the airports closest to your base and creating those routes first.

I have something you could use. But don't hold me to it just yet.

Why do you pay for premium gate search, when you can do it all yourself on Excel in about 5 mins? Same goes for aircraft, but they're less helpful.


The only thing that using Excel doesn't help with is when new airports are added to the game. (Which is why I've migrated to an Access database. :twisted:)


Access is so "ewww".

I looked up 3 airlines in Chicago and they have the exact same route structure!  I wonder if a certain premium feature is responsible... :twisted:


Pfffft...

I wouldn't know, as I don't have any premium features.

I just look at the "view airport" screen, and take notes on where everyone else is going. Then I make routes to those destinations.
:D

If I have any hours on an aircraft left over, I make routes with the aid of an atlas next to my computer.

You would do better to try and find places people are not flying to mate. Less competition = more money.

Unless it is a very large airport.

I used to use online maps until the premium feature came along.  I shelled out the free credits for it as it saves time and hassle and is the only reason why I came back to AM!
