FreeFlight Tours is planning a charter trip to a major resort in Hawaii. The eight-day-seven-
night package will include round-trip air transportation, surface transportation, hotel, meals, and
selected tour options. The charter trip is restricted to 200 persons, and past experience indicates
that there will be no problem finding 200 participants. What the company must do is determine
the number of deluxe, standard, and economy tour packages to offer in this charter. These three
plans each differ according to seating and service for the air flight, quality of accommodations,
meal plans, and tour options. The table below summarizes proposed prices for the three packages
and corresponding expenses for FreeFlight Tours. The company has chartered a jet airliner for a
flat fee of $20,000.
In planning the trip, certain considerations must be taken into account:
At least 10% of the packages must be of the deluxe type.
At least 35% but no more than 70% of the packages must be of the standard type.
At least 30% must of the economy type.
The airliner allows for no more than 60 deluxe packages.
The hotel requests a guarantee that at least 120 of the tourists be on deluxe or standard
packages.
FreeFlight Tours wishes to determine the number of packages of each type to offer so as to
maximize total profit.
