Need Advice Is there any reason to keep Class 1 airport after unlocking class 2 planes ?

9 Upvotes

I'm new, I have most of class 2 and 3 airport in europe and 12 planes, half class 1 (Kangaroo and X Mapple pro) and half class two (Equinox and Pearjet). I just dont use my class 1 airport anymore because they dont have much jobs available but maybe i'm missing something...

How Do I... ? How do I set up a Spoke & Hub layout.

4 Upvotes

I'm level 23, I have 3 Sequoias. I just returned & I know I messed something up cause London is full on layovers, got too much coming into London & not enough going out.

I have New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas, Miami & Mexico City open. Then I have London, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Algieres, Rome, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Istanbul, Baghdad, Riyadh, Tehran, Delhi, Xi'an, Beijing & Seoul. I have New York & London as hubs but I think at this point I just make a 3rd hub at like Seoul & expand out more so I have options. I don't know what past me did. I did find out I can make a 4th Sequoia so that should help with trying to fix this account.

Which Is Better? Are upgrades for planes/airports worth it?

10 Upvotes

I’m a new player to the game, started last week and now at level 13. I’ve got 27/29 airports and 11 planes

I’ve seen there’s options to upgrade my planes and airports, but is it worth it?

Also, should I be maxing out the number of airports I’m allowed to build or not? And is 11 planes enough for my level? Would appreciate some advice on where to spend my coins/bucks!

Which Is Better? HQs or Trans Pacific flights?

6 Upvotes

Which recent (relatively) feature was the bigger game changer for you? If you could only have one, which would you keep?

For me, transpac flights is the best , and the one I would keep. While HQs make stockpiling event cargo closer to outlier class 1 destinations (my main use for them) more convenient, it wasn’t really necessary.

Need Advice Best hub for Oceania?

17 Upvotes

I was set on making Banana my hub here, but now I think it’s a bit redundant with Honolulu being just north of it. I was thinking Perth instead since it’s in a dead zone of the region and could be connected to India and Africa maybe?

Anyone else got an Oceania hub that’s been working for them?

Global Event Recent Global Events…

I don’t know if this is everyone but I feel like the last and current global event have been lackluster in rewards…

Coins/bux wise, maybe to whoever is starting out, it may be worthwhile. However, the skin alone isn’t worth the 1K jobs unless you’re collecting.

This is merely an observation and not sure if I can provide feedback for this.

Game Improvement Idea QoL Suggestion re. skins/lower tier airports

21 Upvotes

I find it a little annoying that some of the skins you can earn for events are effectively useless if the plane can't actually land at that airport (e.g. tier 3 plans getting skins for Dallas etc.)

Completely get you could hub the airport, but North America especially is forced to go hub for Honolulu (maybe not completely forced, but it's as close to being forced as it can be)

My idea is therefore:

  • if a plan is wearing a skin, it can land at that aiport regardless of tiers (so a tier 3 plan with a Dallas skin could land at Dallas but no other tier 1/2 airports)

To make it not too overpowered, maybe at the same time the devs limit it so that only one aircraft can wear a particular skin (so you couldn't stick the Dallas skin on 17 cloudliners, only 1 of the cloudliners could wear it)

Would increase the value of the skins which would be good for the devs as it may make people more likely to buy them

THE UPDATE Jobs disappearing when I unload plane

Anyone else experiencing this? I had 10 P jobs on a plane (not layovers) and I unloaded them real quick to put them on another flight and they all disappeared. This has happened to me like 4 times today. Bug due to update?

Game Improvement Idea Feature Request: Sort by number of passengers

16 Upvotes

I know there was a lot of hate regarded "grouping" of passengers, but I have grown to like it. Now, I would like to be able to group by number of passengers. So if I land somewhere and have a 6 place plane, I can quickly see what city has the most pax/cargo waiting.

I realize there is a bit of an issue as the "layover" shows on a different line than those "originating," but it still seems like an easy add.

Which Is Better? Best looking plane?

40 Upvotes

Tiny tower suggested this game and I totally became obsessed. Anyway, based purely off opinion and cosmetics, forget about performance and efficiency and all that. What’s your favorite looking plane in the game? For me currently it would have to be the aeroeagles. They look so clean, almost like a private jet. Sleek. I wanna know what anyone else likes! Safe travels!

I’m level 25 and feel like I could be doing more. Right now I’m spending all my time setting up HQ and just opened Honolulu to maybe try and get over to Asia. I’m planning on running LA to Tokyo but I’m not sure which planes will allow me to cross the Pacific in one trip

Need Advice Bonus XP questions-strategy defining

15 Upvotes

I am close to buxmaxing a 2nd time. I am able to get bux quickly and not really care about coins. I have enough slots to the point where I take well over 5 minutes to load all of them. I can keep playing forever I’ll never have enough planes on the air to where it takes me under 5 minutes to go through all of them, and after banking it’ll get even worse! I’m very close to thinking that bux don’t really matter atp, and the only thing left in the game is getting XP to unlock all airports. So my questions before thinking about the strategies are:

- The 25% bonuses, do they apply to XP also?

- Say 2 jobs going to the same place spawn simultaneously from the same airport, but one pays bux and the other coins. Do they both reward the same amount of XP?

- Is the XP affected when a job was a layover at some point? (I have no reason to believe this, but it’s very important when coming up with a strategy)

I’ll post my thoughts once I know all this so we can discuss

Progress Update How is my plan for building up my airline? Details in body text.

Post image
12 Upvotes

This is the design for my new airline in the new and improved cylindrical world. I'm here first to share my strategy but I would welcome feedback.

I prefer the challenges and rewards in the flat world, so i'm limiting this airline to half of the map - Nome to Moscow. Because of that limitation, I only really need class 1 and 2 planes, but I'll open a class 3 airport if it helps. So far I haven't needed any nor see the need in the design. I also fly passengers only, no cargo.

I need to work out the details of handling up to ten destinations from one class 2 hub, but I have a strategy for cases like this.

To maximize profits, I keep my routes straight and carry only highest-value fares. Each pair of colored regions shows boundaries of where planes can carry coin fares from-to. For example, the red boundaries show that a coin fare from South America can only fly to Scandanavia and Western Europe, and vice versa. I will carry bux fares almost anywhere. White lines indicate Class 2 routes, of which there are 3.

I'm probably going to have 4-5 Aeroeagles running between hubs, and I'll choose a fleet of class 1 planes for each region depending on size and size and fare availability. I get the 25% bonus on every high-value delivery.
