Airline Manager 4 Tips and Tricks

[@TxGambler77]

It's been about 2 yrs since I've played the game and recently started back up. Wish I would have known how useless the lounges were before sinking millions into them.

[@NaahLand]

Embraer is good to for cheap/efficient short range fleet i like to use the ERJ 190-200AR its quit a bit cheaper than the Airbus or Boeing equivalent.

[@Waiting_to_Exhale_era]

I have a fleet of just ATR-42-500

[@Plab1402]

My strategy is just to buy all the E190's you can get, after it you'll be making enough money to get Airbus or Boeing planes

[@IlTjaylI]

Embraer has very good fuel efficient airplanes, I would actually recommend selling your starting plane (mine sold for 4,200,000 because there was a high demand) then you should by 2 high capacity Embraer's which sell for around 1.5m. If you do this when you just start the game you get two planes with a high capacity and 2 sped up flights that the game provides.

[@saketmeena9581]

Is there any aircraft which is a unreasonable burden in terms of expenses on its maintenance? I feel like CV-990A's A-check is too much for the cost and value of this aircraft. Aircraft cost around: 0.5-0.6 million and A-Check: 2.6-2.7 million

[@tylerbrobst2716]

Staff training is the most important you can save millions by manipulating their pay if they are trained up

[@DrummerJacob]

Funny you say that since he said it's no big deal 😂

[@stuarthardy8202]

A great explanation of the games none of the complex bs. I've just started and I was disappointed after buying my first planes & scheduling the round trip time. Clearly it told me the route was popular but I didn't spot the flying speed of the plane. I can tell you my first day's expected profit is estimated to be 2.8 million that's with free Air bus 380 a second smaller Air bus Brought plane with 280 seat plus 1 lease plane.. May I ask about your plane colouring icons as it appears you've got some form of organisation going there?

[@cheapbooks]

I am not sure what you are referring to. I did make a video about the colors of the plane on the map.

[@enigmagrieshaber5555]

My first strat is buying off 737-200 early game for short range and my main base is in Los Angeles but I moved to Boston to make flights to Europe and that's when I stopped buying short range 737 and switched to 737-800 but after getting more money I started buying 757-200

[@cheapbooks]

northeat hubs in the US are best for long range flights (20,000km)

Does somebody know why I can't make A-check for my charter airplanes. I bought a few, and now it's time for a check, but it keeps on saying "not at base" despite the fact that they are flying to the base

[@mzeemalandela8807]

I still can't figure it out on how to do reconfiguration on already bought aircrafts.

[@cheapbooks]

you must be at a base for the menu option to be clickable

You can do it at purchase it’s in the right hand corner, also when you got to maintenance then hit the modify tab it’s again in the corner

Hello, thanks for your video. How to make the success "Create a subsidiary company" ?

[@cheapbooks]

[@thib_40]

@@cheapbooks OK, thank you

[@Igoriann]

Can you explain how bulk check works? We can only do A check when we are at the base and I have like 2/50 planes at a base and it's always random. I generally have to find the plane that needs to be checked, specifically send it to base, assuming it's not too far from it then A check that plane. I was looking for option such as "return to base" but I'm not able to find it. In that case it would make sense to have bulk checks but how do bulk checks help when you still have to send each plane one by one to the base.. if you're I'm to spend that much effort searching the cou try and city I want my plane to fly to, might as well find it in a check list and click a check. I'm confused

[@cheapbooks]

you do not have to send them to base manually. do the bulk check after every time you depart flights (or before) and you will always have every plane checked properly, as long as they are grounded when you depart.

[@Itzgio_-bq3lh]

When I try and depart my planes it says some of the planes are unable to depart and no routes departed what do I do?

[@tanner953]

Either no fuel, grounded or in maintenance

[@mauriciopardo5231]

Excellent advice, great video. Thanks

[@akmalbruhaha4658]

Played this for 3 years now. The flight path of planes should be hub-to-destination not destination-to-destination as shown in the video. This is due to overhauls needed which could only be done in hubs not in any other airports.

[@cheapbooks]

all of my planes are hub to destination, there are none that are as you describe in my game or videos

[@joseramonportesalvarez4114]

How you increase your reputation with using marketing? Thanks

[@cheapbooks]

buy 10 hubs, buy marketing right before you depart

[@mathewmacduff8390]

I’ve just started off so this is a great help, thanks heaps!!

[@MatthiasRosberg]

What should my cost index be?

[@cheapbooks]

0 to save money, 200 to fly full speed

[@mauroserrano7069]

Hello! Stupid question here 🙋🙋 Is there a way to see if the demand is full before i buy the route ?? I have bought so many routes but then there are no passagers left

[@cheapbooks]

if you are buying the route for the first time, demand is full

[@ethanmoore7648]

Hi, great informative video, how can you permanently increase reputation without marketing?

[@cheapbooks]

buy 10 hubs, keep fleet maintained

[@PRINCE_SWAGG]

Why did your video end before it should? I was just about to hear you "short range flight" tips and it ended.

[@cheapbooks]

free version of bandicam has a time limit.

[@DrummerJacob]

@@cheapbooks Have you considered not using bandicam so you can make a complete video or are you stuck using that trial software for some strange reason?

[@Fyzzy4life]

What exactly are hubs? You can only have flights from them? Or what do they do?

[@Fyzzy4life]

Also, so you recommend to go with more first class seats or economy seats?

[@cheapbooks]

you can fly planes between any airports. however hubs allow you to do required maintenance. it will be cheaper in the long run if you fly all your planes from hubs because the route creation cost will be cheaper

[@cheapbooks]

the higher class seats bring in more revenue if configured properly

[@saketmeena9581]

I feel like there is a connection between staff morale and airline reputation. If my staff morale goes down, somewhere around 2 or 3 percent airline reputation goes down resulting in less revenue from departure. What is the problem with staff? I haven't decreased their salary ever. I always either let that remain standard or increase their salary. What is this staff morale problem? Annoying. It's been happening a lot for some days. Not continuously but many times in between.

[@cheapbooks]

I think it decreases over time, probably every departure slowly reduces morale

[@HMMonsalve]

You have to complete the management training and the points listed below. Once you have 3 out of 4 points, you can use the strategy of lowering salaries without decreasing morale. How to do it? You raise the salary until it reaches 100% and then lower it to 50%, repeating this process over and over until reaching the minimum possible.

[@josephnguyen6588]

I have one question. Do we should have a flight thay have a stopover or it’s better to have a straight flight? I wanna get mote profits and I’m so confuse! Please kindly to let me know. Thanks a lot!

thanks for the explanation. At the beignniner of the game, when I have no money, which plane then is the best to buy? It takes ages for me to earn 1M. Also, none of my flights get filled, and nobody goes to the business and 1st class seats, why is that? Also when i pick a new route, how can i find out which route will fill the plane and get the best pricing for it?

[@cheapbooks]

ATR is good near game start

[@pastrymess9468]

Great video with consideration for both new and experienced players 😊. Couldn't agree more about the boards; loads of negativity. I'm just curious, as in the boards, they say loyalty points, got no impact; however you mention they impact points... Could you clarify? Once again, thanks. Are you playing again?

Question. I have 20 planes one hub I have been having the problem of when I send new planes out to a new destination there is 600 to 1000 pax however thr last few days 6 ish of my planes returning have 0pax on them even with the ticket prices lowered am I ment to sent them out from my main hub then when they get to the destination send it to another and not return to my hub. Also I have one hub is it time to get a other? Any and all advise appreciated 😊

have many routes on 1 hub, and add more hubs to fix this problem, also change seat configuration.

I'm new to the game and i really love it, your video helped me alot thank you so much For now my strategy is med-range flights and i use +40 Fokker 100 and its good but not so good like the long range so i well try to focus on buying the long range in the future (i have already 8 boeing 737-800) Is that good as a strategy ?

long range is good because you will be able to check the game less often, like 2x per day

I just started playing Airline Manager last night. I see that I can potentially enjoy this game! Question though. I downloaded it on my phone yesterday through the app store, do you know if there is a way for me to logon the PC version using my app account? I tired using my Apple credentials at the login and it did not recognized my credentials. Then I created an account using my Apple email and it gave me a new profile. Any thoughts?

[@MsLilFSmodel3]

What is the difference between a hangar and a hub? Does Pax mean people? How do I know what planes are passenger planes? Where do I go for the online help system?

[@cheapbooks]

hub is airport. hanger is 1 per plane. pax = passengers. cargo planes usually have F after them and are on separate menu

[@saketmeena9581]

Why there has to be only one stopover? I am not so much familiar about airlines. Maybe it is dumb question. But if it is not, then I will like to see atleast 5 stopovers.

[@cheapbooks]

once you get halfway through the game, there is no need for more than 1 stopover because of the flight range.

[@JulesGARREAU]

Great video thanks ! However, can you tell me what is your formula to set tickets prices ? I'm doing some +15,000km trip and my F ticket price is only about 16k $ when I do 1.1*auto-price... Yours is +23,000k$ and I noticed you are making +4M$ for a 13h flight ! Please, can you explain me ? Thanks in advance !

[@cheapbooks]

I researched this matter. You can make more money by increasing prices (fewer passengers, more money per passenger) or by lowering prices (more passengers, less money per passenger). Both strategies worked.

[@JulesGARREAU]

Thank you so much for your feedback. Do you know if the model of pricing is linear? Let's take your exemple : 23k$ for F class for a +18,822km. For a +15,000 km flight, will ticket price be (15,000 * 23k$) / 18,822 ? Moreover, I just checked on the game the same route as yours in the video MMMD-YPCC and the runway length is only 7,999 ft. How did you set an A380 on this route while this one need +9680ft to land ? Thanks for your response ! @@cheapbooks

Good points thank you , I been playing for two weeks and been buying the A330 900 Neo, it can take roughly 440 passengers and only 13 lbs of fuel per kilometres, I’m gonna go with your suggestion wait with cargo planes, stack up first with passengers planes ,the Boeing 787- 10 is also good , good range but not very fuel efficient. What are the best long haul routes in your opinion? I’ve been using the A350 900ULR to fly from Singapore to JFK airport, that route actually exists , that is the longest route currently available, takes roughly 18 hours , and they use the 900ULR, its the Only plane that is able to fly that route.

[@HillsPatrolTD42]

I don't know how you think the A380 is best for cargo. Simple maths proves that false. The 747 gets roughly 12,000lbs of cargo/lb of fuel, while the A380 gets roughly 10,000lbs of cargo/lb of fuel. The 747 also has 4000km more range, and is LESS THAN HALF the price of the A380. Bad advice. And you say don't increase CO2? Really? I'm using 42M lbs to launch all my flights just for the first time, so if I didn't increase, I would be constantly negative, and I won't buy CO2 above $150, so I would never get launched using your strategy. Sorry, I don't think you've got a good grasp of the essentials of this game. Only good advice I've gotten from you so far is to check each engine option at purchase (I didn't know that one, so thanks). Regarding repairs and A-Checks, YES, you DO pay for the repairs as well, you don't get a choice. And not repairing your planes until an A-Check will have planes at ridiculously high wear rates. The stock market is worth it if you know how to invest. My current return is over $32M and some of my shares have given me an increase of over 150 times the initial outlay. Mate, this is the worst advice for this game I've ever heard.
