How to fly Melbourne - London Heathrow and return in 24 hours ?

[Flinxx]

Just saw that my competitors at the route Melbourne - London Heathrow in Modern Times #9 seem to fly with one plane 7 trips.

A screen of the routes is attached.


How is this possible?

Or is it an display problem?

It is a newish feature that groups flights at the same time on different days under a single flight number and hence displays them as one line if the 'Create another route like this for the next day'-button has been used for its creation. So there is nothing out of the ordinary happening here.

You probably created your flights either before that feature was introduced or created them one by one as planes arrived, in which case it still takes a new flight number for every day.

It comes automatically when you do 7 day scheds and "open same route for the next day".

But you can manually change routes created one at a time so that they all have the same flight number, and then they will collapse nicely as well

Or Concorde with lots of tech stops?

And this is how that schedule (DC 3099/3100 LHR-MEL-LHR) looks on the flight management screen.
