    First of all, don't worry. I, as I'm sure many others as well, have made mistakes along the way and probably would do things differently if we started again.

    The natural progression is to gradually close some class 1 airports and open more class 2 airports. This gives your class 2 planes more to do, and class 1 planes can still go to those airports as well. They give a lot more jobs and can be very useful hubs to focus your airline on.

    Lots of airports gives you a lot to do, so you'll be playing very actively, but it also means that when jobs do come up, they're rarely for the same place (to give you the 25% bonus on full planes going to the same place).

    It makes sense to have a route in mind, preferably in a fairly straight line, so that you can focus jobs from one end to the other, whilst still doing little jobs inbetween.

    Perhaps think about having 2 or 3 class 2 airports a fair distance apart, focusing your class 1 planes to feed these hubs with even more jobs so when you send your class 2 planes to them, they have more to pick up.

    Hope this helps :)

    You get half of the coins back used to open it. I.e. a 10 m airport that costs $51k will give you $25.5k to sell. Lose any upgrades you made to it tho

    Nope- rebooting didn't solve my issue with "syncing with icloud"

    But since I'm in a wifi-poor reception area. I will try again at home.

    The update solved the sync between my iPhone and my iPad.
    Try deleting and reinstalling the app from scratch (on the device you're not playing!) , it worked for me ;)

    "Achievement: Make a non-stop flight between Nome and Wellington. Complete!" Anyone else go for this yet? Just did it with a passenger from LA and Honolulu, as well as cargo that started in Nome itself. One possible path with a fully upgraded Mohawk: Nome -> Juneau -> LA -> Mexico City -> Lima -> Rio -> Recife -> Monrovia -> Lagos -> Cairo -> Kandahar -> Mumbai -> Padang -> Kalgoorlie -> Hobart -> Wellington. Total profit was $5164. Operations were based in Southwest US and South America, and wanted to finish it off before I continued to expand into Asia (hence the small Class 1 airports near the end to save money). Now just to wait 3 hours + for plane to get there... (13400 total miles)

    According to came center georgewhite51 has made a best flight profit of;
    9,223,372,036,854,775,807

    This guy should have his game center account revoked and be given his own little world to play in. If your going to cheat which is bad enough, at least be tasteful about it and not slap every one in the face, especially the paying customers.

    Geez :mad:

    Hope he isn't in our TA crew!

    I'm starting to think leader boards aren't worth bothering with, which is a shame because I think good competition is fun...

    At least it's SO obvious that when you reach the leaderboard you can ignore it as ridiculous.

    What lvl are you to achieve 11k+ profit without trying!? I'm lvl 16 and get excited by 4k!

    Hey guys, just signed up for the forum. Started playing this game in the last few days and I CANNOT put it down. My productivity has definitely decreased lol.

    Need some advice regarding what airports to buy next. I am at level 10, 56k coins, and currently have LAX, SEA, DEN, PHX, and IAH. Thinking of getting NYC or Mexico City, then Lima and either Recife or Rio to make the hop to Lagos. Any advice?

    Planes:
    Airvan P
    Roo P (2)
    Roo M
    Mohawk P (2)
    Mohawk C

    Probably going to get the Birch next since everyone says its a good buy, and when I can afford it, some Pearjets with upgrades (which is when I will buy LHR).

    Thanks in advance, and god this game is addicting :D
