Title: Ability to Sell only Coach Seats...
Post by: Karl on October 26, 2023, 01:12:00 PM
... on a C/Y configured aircraft.

Sometimes I put a c/y configured aircraft on multiple city pair routes including one city pair that does not offer c capacity.  Doing this often enough can really lower C load factor.

As far as I can tell, there is no way to offer only coach seating on a c/y configured aircraft in the current set up.  Would it be possible to add a button which offers that ability to sell Y class only- like the current ability to offer pax only with no cargo flights?

What's the crime in having a lower load factor? It's simply math of seats sold divided by seats offered. Load factor does not influence ticket sales/revenue - it's a product of historical math.

OK.  But then why can we eliminate cargo if we wish?

Why not have another option?

I'd argue eliminating cargo on a route by route basis has exactly zero benefit to any player and shouldn't be an option.

Perhaps OP wants to be ably to 'declassify' those F/C seats and sell them as economy?  It's hard to avoid flying an aircraft with higher classes of seating on at least a FEW Y-only routes. It seems wasteful to leave all those seats empty.

As for load factor - I'd argue it is important. It may not affect revenue, but it affects the game-stats which some people use as a measure of their sucess.
