= Service Bonuses (Passengers) = Service Bonuses represent your passengers opinions over your airline (aka the bonuses for your passengers).

There are 7 bonuses in A.M: Entertainment, Punctuality, Safety, Price Attractiveness, Ancillary Revenue, Comfort and Expenses. They can range from 0-500 (Except Expenses, which range from -500 to +500). These bonuses can affect your airline differently (based what type of airline and strategy you decided on), ranging on PAX demand, costs, revenue, etc.

Entertainment
Entertainment increases PAX demand on Long-Haul flights. It scales on distance, having a positive effect on longer routes that are 14,000km (the hub from the route distance). Any route more than 14,000km will not have a significant impact.

What does it benefit for my airline?
As mentioned above, it boosts your passenger demand on Long-Haul flights. This is important if you decide your airline to be based on Long-Haul/Medium-Haul flights.

Price Attractiveness
Price attractiveness is basically, the opposite of Entertainment. Unlike Entertainment, which boosts Long-Haul and Medium-Haul Flights, Price Attractiveness scales on short-medium distances, which increases PAX demand in Short-Haul and Medium-Haul flights.

What does it benefit for my Airline?
If you're strategy is on Short-Haul to Medium-Haul, this is the best option to increase demand for your airline. Since it will have a positive outcome on shorter routes you have.

Punctuality
Punctuality boosts Economy Passenger demand on flights, on any distance. It doesn't affect Business (Sometimes) and First Class passengers.

What does it benefit for my airline?
If your airline mainly focuses on Economy, this is a good option for you, especially on hubs that have very high economy class demand such as CGK (Jakarta).

Comfort
Comfort increases ticket price, used on Business and First Class passengers. But you will notice less demand and higher flight costs as a result.

What does it benefit for my airline?
If your airline is focused on luxury, this is the choice. Its well used on Long-Haul routes too. Just that your prices will increase.

Safety
Safety increases passenger demand on Business and First Class. It does not affect passenger demand on Economy Class.

What does it benefit for my airline?
If your airline is more on economy, research this one last. Otherwise, this is not a priority first.
