Branch Office Value Guide
By Sugar Bunny Muffin Pie
The key to making a lot of money on contract flights is to have many available choices, which is done by having multiple Branch Offices. However, you need to be careful in selecting your Branch Offices, as some are more costly than others.

Branch Office Basics
Branch Offices can be purchased after you have the Falcon Lines DLC, or if you purchase the Gold edition of AIrline Tycoon 2.

You can purchase branch offices at the Map (shortcut key M) or the Route Map (shortcut key R) by clicking on the Pin onthe Map and then clicking on the Branch Office Information button in the lower lefthand corner of the screen. It may also be selected by clicking on the "List of Airports" button and then selecting the airport from the list.



In order to get a lot of extra contracts without paying a lot in rent, you should invest in the smaller branch offices. Sure, they have fewer contracts, but the rent is much lower when you consider how many contracts you get per the rent money. Take a look at the charts below!


The purchase price is a one time initial investment when first renting. In all instances, the purchase price is exactly a ratio of 20/3 the value of the rent.

View All Available Contracts Without Leaving the Map!
In map view (shortcut M), you may be able to view all of the available contracts and drag them onto your airplane's schedule without ever having to leave the map view screen and without committing to them until you drag them on to your plane. (But once they are on there, you cannot undo it.) First, click on the Airport Button in the Lower Lefthand Corner to open all of the airports. Then click on the "Display Contracts" button, which is also the Lower Lefthand Corner, (The yellow CONTRACTS button). This will only display at the righthand side of the screen the contracts available at the airport Branch Office selected if you own it. This will show the passenger contracts, last-minute, and cargo available. [screenshot=508248445;sizeOriginal,inline;images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/425942461260271005/FC335F0D1AFB631017E46FA98F1D90EA01BC3F03/][/screenshot] Next, click back on the AIrplane Button in the Lower Lefthand Corner. The contracts tab on the righthand side of the screen should still be open, but you can now view the contracts aviailable at all owned Branch Offices. The contracts will be grayed and hatched out if the airplane you have selected will not support the flights. Click on each airplane to get a list of all flights available for that particular airplane. [screenshot=508248460;sizeOriginal,inline;images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/425942461260271148/1C1B124C3E790743E4CCCE046DC4EF93CF48BE5B/][/screenshot] As a bonus, I recommend sorting by price, so you can get the high paying multi-million dollar contracts. Just remember to take into account the length of the route and whether you can route your airplane to its next destination!
