Pricing
Pricing strategy and base airports
On the page Configure > General (Admin role) in the Options section, you can choose between 3 pricing modes:
If all your aircraft of the same type are based on the same airport and have a similar pricing, you should use “Pricing by aircraft type only”. The type’s base is set on the page Pricing > Base airports. If you choose several airport bases, OpenJet 360 will choose the most appropriate one, reducing empty legs.
If your aircrafts of same type are located at different airports, you have two choices:
Pricing by aircraft type only: OpenJet 360 will automatically choose the aircraft by minimizing empty legs.
Pricing by tail number only: you have to choose a tail number before making a quotation.
If you choose “Pricing by type and tail number”, you will be able to have both, see pricing profiles for more details.
Just below, you may choose flight time rounding: upper 5 minutes, lower 5 minutes or nearest 5 minutes.
Flight time calculations
OpenJet automatically calculates flight times based on direct route between two airports. Aircraft performances can be set for each type of your company. See Manage your Fleet.
If you are not satisfied with the flight time between two airports, you can manually set the flight time using the page Pricing > Manual Flight Time List.

Pricing profile calendar
Pricing profile period calendar
On the page Pricing > Pricing profile period calendar, you can create, edit and manage pricing profile calendar. This will allow to define the right default pricing profile to be used for a reservation based on a calendar:
You can simply edit it by clicking on a day of the calendar and create the desired period.
Pricing profile intervals
On the page Pricing > Fixed leg prices, you can create, edit and manage pricing profile intervals. This will allow to define a specific pricing profile depending on the interval between the date of the reservation and the date of the first flight requested by this reservation.
NB: This configuration will override pricing profile calendar configuration
On this example, the pricing profile “High DC” will be applied for each reservation where the first flight will occur within 3 days next to the reservation creation.
Fixed leg prices
On the page Pricing > Fixed leg prices, you can create, edit and manage Fixed leg prices. This will define a fix price for a specific trip/sector.
As soon as this trip/sector will be requested, this price will be applied overriding the pricing profile configurations
It is possible to assign this fixed price only to a specific airplane or airplane type and for a specific pricing profile.
Round trip
It is also possible to decide whether this configuration will be applied for a round trip. e.g. Paris->Berlin AND Berlin->Paris. This will apply the same price on both flights without having to setup a specific fixed leg price for the return route.
Interval fee
It is possible to specify an additional fee on the return flight based on the interval between this return flight and the initial flight. You can set as many interval as you need.
On this example, a 700€ fee will be applied to the return flight if this flight is set 2 days after the first flight. From 4 days, this 700€ fee will increase to 1000€.
