Passenger Types

Overview

Not all passengers in MyFly Club behave the same way. Each passenger type has different expectations, price sensitivity, and tolerance for travel costs. Understanding these differences is essential when planning routes and setting ticket prices.

Passenger types influence:

  • How much passengers are willing to pay
  • Which routes they prefer
  • How tolerant they are of longer or more expensive journeys
  • Overall route demand balance

Passenger Categories

The game includes the following passenger types:

Business

  • Direct routes
  • Higher quality service
  • Premium cabin classes
  • Reliable scheduling

  • Financial hubs
  • Large cities
  • High-income airports

Tourist

Tourists are highly price-sensitive and will choose cheaper routes when available. They:

  • Prefer lower ticket prices
  • Are more tolerant of connections
  • Often travel to leisure destinations

Tourist demand is strong on:

  • Vacation hubs
  • Seasonal destinations
  • Medium-distance routes

  • Prefer premium cabins
  • Expect high route quality

Traveler Small Town

These passengers originate from smaller airports and:

Why Passenger Types Matter

Passenger types determine whether a route succeeds. For example:

  • A route with strong tourist demand may fail if priced too high
  • A business-heavy route benefits from higher quality and frequency
  • Small-town routes may rely on connecting traffic

Strategy Tips

  • Use premium cabins on business-heavy routes
  • Lower prices on tourist routes to stimulate demand
  • Build feeder routes to capture small-town travelers
  • Increase frequency for business demand
