Products - Self-Operation Flights - Flight Summary

This tab is used to display the financial activity of the flight - summarized according to the purchases, sales, and profitability. In addition, this tab is used to perform actions relating to the purchase and sale of seats on the flight. It is also used to make purchases and sales of miscellaneous items not directly related to seats on the flight (e.g. transaction fee, ticketing fee).

This tab is only used with self-operation flights with the Profit Mechanism.

The details displayed in this tab are based on the actions performed in the Classes tab (buy, sell, and transfer).

This tab includes three tables:

• Purchases: This table contains details on purchases, and also includes action buttons relevant to the purchase of seats on the flight.

• Sales: This table contains details on sales, and also includes action buttons relevant to the sale of seats on the flight.

• Summary: This table combines the financial details from the previous two tables and displays profitability figures for the flight.
