Price management - edit prices for all routes of a base airport at once

[wilian.souza2]

You already know there's a "global price management" that allows you to edit prices for all of your routes at once, but I was wondering if was possible to add the feature of editing prices for all routes departing from an specific base airport at once. That would be useful when you have a base airport with competition and other base airport without competition, for example - you could set slightly higher prices for a base without competition to compensate for the price reduction of some routes you have in a base airport with high competition - or just adjust prices of a base airport accordingly to the region's market "strenght", so to say.

there is a fairly easy way to do this.
1. Select manage routes.
2. search the city you are looking for.
3. then check the routes for that city.
4. on the bottom right hand corner of the page, select manage price from the drop down menu.
5. you can now edit the prices for just that city.

for base airports, just select manage route for that base airport. Then just follow the steps from my previous post.
my earlier post  is for specific cities.

I know it, but it works if you want to edit prices for few destinations at once.

Let's say you want to increase the prices for all of your routes going from a base airport by 5%, but the base airport has 60 destinations or even more.... add this to the fact that if there are routes separated for each day, the total number of routes will be multiplied by up to 7, and it's even worse if you have some destinations with two or three flights a day. Imagine the work of doing it!

With all that said, and considering the fact that there's already the global pricing feature, why not adding a "base-selective" pricing?

This is useful and standard procedure for specific management of a route either to a specific city or from a base. However, it's highly likely that if you were to do this for a base airport, the routes would extend over several pages, so the process has to be done multiple times.

Adding an extra global pricing feature for specific bases, personally I'm not sure I would always use. For me global pricing is to be done once or twice a year to try and keep route prices in line with inflation and therefore I would only ever use it for all bases. But I could see why some might potentially want to raise the prices of bases with less competition at a higher rate than those with greater competition along with resetting prices every few years.

I'm not sure either that the city-based filter for changing prices in one click would be the most useful, but there surely is something to be done in the filtering on the "manage routes" screen.

I completely agree that if you choose 7-day scheduling for MH and eventually SH, you choose better efficiency but also complexity, and thus should be penalized for that. But on the other hand, doing all the rescheduling seven times is really painful. A selectable option that would allow to apply the same change on all seven routes (given they have the same flight number and same timings) would be really great.

This procedure lacked price reset button for specific city.

Just a note to show that even if this proposal (edit all 7 routes at once) is implemented, it will still remain more complicated to use 7-day schedules and thus would keep it balanced:
- arranging together 14-30 routes spreading over a whole week will always be more complicated than 2 or 3 on a single day
- select and distribute 15x7=105 routes on 7 planes will always take more time than distribute 3 on 1 plane

At step 2 and 3 you can do destination viewit make the page to only all destination flown.
on the left you can see if you have 7 or 64 flights a day,it doesn't matter.

Easy summuray is where you normalyy see 1 flight you see now 1 destination(1 or 60 flight does not matter)

so it is just a few pages to work trough depend on the size of your airliner
