    1) Build the plane
    2) A dialog message will tell you to select the airport you want it to go (to be honest, I missed this message first time round due to excitement!!!! :D)
    3) There's your plane!

    Thank you! I love you! :)
    Were these 3 simple steps so hard to put into the game as a tutorial? Lol

    May I ask why are there class restrictions on some airports? My class 2 planes can't land at Sendai and Nagasaki because of this..

    Smaller airports don't have the facilities to deal with larger aircraft, I assume.

    A few questions.
    What does weight upgrades do? Whats the point of decommissioning planes and scrapping for parts; can you make better planes with their parts or only the same ones?
    Sorry if I'm asking too many questions.

    Dunno about weight.
    Decommissioned planes gives you all the parts that made up the plane. You can sell them for cash. So no, you can't make a different plane out of the decommissioned parts.

    Weight reduces the weight of the plane and I'm pretty certain it allows it to travel further.

    So far TA is #3 in the world with 493 jobs, the top has 707(!) and I presume that's the SomethingAwful forums, or wherever else NB posts. I do know that I'm #1 in our group, which makes me happy ;). I know it won't last, it never does, but it's fun for right now.

    And NB, just like I did with tiny tower, you got my $5. So far I've spent more time and had more fun with this game than 99% of the other games I've purchased in the last month. Hell, the last year.

    I look forward to getting longer flight times so I'm not at my phone every 5 minutes.

    Oh and Nimblebit, seriously... You didn't add #pocketplanes to the tweets when we share them? Fix that. NOW :p. that is if you ever want it to trend. Heck, the bitizens even do that!

    No it doesn't. I just checked it, weight reduction does not impact the plane's speed or max distance.

    It HAS to do something. Wish it told us was that was.

    Downloaded last night, loving it so far. One minor bug though, not sure if this is the right place but, the game closes itself when I try to look up the info on Taipei. Does this happen to anyone else?

    Ah, if that's the case, I'd rather build airports only in places where the population is 10m from now on to prevent any closures in the future..
