    Oh, I've already received the achievement for the flight. I'm just wondering why my leaderboard for 'most profitable flight' isn't updating.

    I lost around 5500 coins per plane after arriving in Seoul. From Seoul, the passengers were loaded onto a different plane headed for Tokyo that earned me 20k coins. Regardless, that is a 9k coin profit that has yet to be updated On the leaderboard (previous record was 6,731 per flight :().


    Yup, if only the world wasn't flat in Pocket Planes...

    Any mods in this thread, (or OP)? I'm working on an FAQ. If we can't add it to the OP, I'll make a new thread.

    Does anyone know if you can fly your planes in the left route across the pacific?

    Like say you had a plane with a far enough range and could go from Los Angeles to say Tokyo. Is this possible on Pocket Planes?

    OMG, I was so excited to finally build my very first PearJets after hearing everyone else rave about being able to buy/build them ... only to discover that they end up sitting at Sydney waiting multiple job refresh cycles to fill in 5 London spots. :(
    They're just too expensive to fly (I lose $$$) when it is a partial flight (not full), or when it is a mixed destination flight (stops along the way). I've got them dedicated to a nonstop London-Sydney route to maximize profits on full flights.

    Am I doing this all wrong?

    If there was the demand for it current airlines are capable to fly Seoul- Mexico city non-stop. I've flown Bangkok-New York non-stop and that is a much longer flight. Would most likely be in a Boeing 777-300ER or 777-200ER or Airbus A340. PS: I fly ALOT.

    Check your direct route and strategize. If I have two cargo heading to NY from San Fran, and the only other cargo available is Chicago, I'll load up, but force my stop at Chicago and hope to pick up the bonus from there to NY. Beats waiting 5m for the jobs to refresh.

    For the Casablanca Event, has anyone encountered a Huey part yet? I've done 300+ jobs and have yet to see a mystery part. I keep hearing about people wanting parts but I haven't seen a single piece... does my iPhone hate me?

    When you close an airport, why don't the layovers for that airport go away?

    Because the jobs don't go away even if their destination airport does. You can tap the little 'x' by their portraits to dump the layover and hurt their bitty feelings.

    Thanks man! I've had some little dudes who needed to fly to airports I closed!

    But that still is a VERY USEFUL tip regardless!

    Nope haven't seen any mystery parts. Seems like this event doesn't give any. The first event didn't either.

    Yes, but I think it may hate all of us. I haven't seen a mystery part for this event yet, and I don't think anyone else has either.

    It seems like each global event will have its own little quirks.

    I've pretty much been creeping on this forum for the past 50 pages. Figured I would sign up and stuff.

    I'm level 10, almost 11. Started in Japan :D

    Upgrading an airport or advertising one? Which is better in your opinion and why?

    Don't stalk me.
    Dave put this on another website:

    "Ok, I have a first draft of the help document we are going to put into the game. The little "i" buttons in the top right of the title bars of each screen will jump you to the relevant parts of the doc. Let me know if you find anything confusing or glaring omissions: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/461612/pphelp.html "

    This may also help noobs on this thread
