Equiptment Substitutions

Sometimes airplanes break. When they do, you'll need to change planes, but sometimes the same type isn't available. At HAG, when you bid on a flight, substitutions are allowed. The flight report will accept any aircraft type.

When it happens, try to keep it realistic. Assume aircraft #1 was 80% full. Try to get a big enough aircraft #2 to carry them all. Make sure that airline flew that type of aircraft. Don't get too radical- Try not to substitute a stretch DC8 with a DC6. But if you feel like taking the 727 instead of the 707, go for it! Well, maybe not this 727.
