hi,
operating a route,
the outbound leg has 0% LF for F class and the return leg has 100% LF.
is that normal?
y and c class are fine each way.
thanks.
It depends on the F class LF demand..... the amount of seats in F class by competitors and their prices but yes it can happen.
Example if the F class LF demand on a route is 20 seats both directions. you competitors all fly triangulated routes (meaning they don't have a return flight) but their F class prices is 75% less than yours and they provide more than the 20 seat F class demand it can happen
I bet that there are some routes out there that have demand 1 way and not the other. It isn't realistic....

If you and I both have similar aircraft, and I have good marketing and loyalty...
You fly from point A to Point B and back to A
I fly from point A to B to C and back to point A
I may fill up my cabin from point A to point B, but I am leaving B to A (the return leg) alone and you get all the passengers for that leg alone.
Get it?
I was based in Mumbai in Jet age 2 and there was 1000 pax a day demand to LAX and 200 pax a day demand back. Once I ran out of other routes I filled up that route still made some money.
catspaw.
yeah i suppose. its interesting though.
as an exercise, i dropped the empty F class leg fair way way down, nearly to c class, and no takers.
