Title: Astronomical slot costs!
Post by: 748i on December 16, 2017, 07:46:38 PM
I'm based at Haneda - already i should expect high slot costs - i do get that! But i'm only just scheduling my third aircraft and my 6th daily slot pair costs $2.6Mil!!!! I'm the only one at the airport too. I imagine in a years time i will be paying $5-10Mil

Have all costs gone this crazy or is it just Haneda???

Hey 748i

Yes, when I started an airline @ HND I had similar slot cost "issues." Fortunately, there are dozens of routes that have thousands of supply. I remember I took an educated gamble and started flying the 747-400D because I was getting fed up with the slots. There were only a few slots left and they each cost millions. It may have been the 2005-2015 game world.

Maybe take a look at higher density planes?
