Ahaaa ... lets not make ourselves unpopular then !
With the usual prices of 100 to 300 v$ it makes profit as long as there are v.passengers available.
In trips where 10~20 pax were assigned it was a loss (like in real).
In trips where 80 pax are loaded profit is made.
So I will leave the FSA tickets where we usually set them, the upper end of the recommended prices.

"All prices in the DO are in USD therefore if you check Kyp's flight from LFPG to KJFK and back the ticket price for one way is ~ USD 7,500.00 which is almost ~ EUR 5,500.00 (i.e. half price of a first class round ticket)"

Excellent ! and much more realistic ! Great improvment for OAV financial balance sheet.

If I can get some the correct info, I'll let you know about the "maintenance hours/flight-time" ratio.

If I'm not wrong it's something like 18H up to 20H/1H !!!! that could explain why Concorde was that expensive to maintain !! But keep in mind BAW was making profits with Concorde flights, including charters flights.

"btw, J-L, any idea regarding cargo prices?"

AFAIK, the Concorde ticket was a whole price including cargo

I usually set the ticket for Airline flights to 10% above the standard price without passenger numbers dropping. I don't remember if I tried higher than that in the past. It seems that you can also have Business and First Class seats but I do not know if that affects ticket prices at the current FSA config..
