    I understand that straight lines are more profitable so I'm trying to optimize my route. Right now I have a London-Tokyo route and a London-Sydney route as follows:

    London - Istanbul - Karachi - Jakarta - Sydney
    London - Istanbul - Karachi - Bangkok - Tokyo


    In the Karachi-Bangkok-Tokyo segment, do you think it would be better to buy Guangzhou or Xian so that the route becomes one of the following? Or would the difference be negligible.

    London - Istanbul - Karachi - Guangzhou - Tokyo
    or
    London - Istanbul - Karachi - Xian - Tokyo



    These are the airports I own (I just bought New York):
    New York
    London (+Madrid)
    Paris (+Berlin)
    Istanbul (+Tehran)
    Karachi (+Bangkok)
    Jakarta
    Sydney

    ... also own Casablanca temporarily for the Global Event ... currently at 743 jobs, #34 in crew ... about to call it quits after a few more jobs cuz it's almost bedtime :)

    Edited to add:
    BTW, my Pearjet with full range & full weight upgrades just barely make it from London to New York.

    level 14 taking forever :(

    Really want those Pearjets.

    I guess the only good thing in waiting so long is I have 100,000 now and 170 bux.

    If not wrong, the 25% bonus applies to one trip only and do not get cumulative. Otherwise we can simply deliver them between two cities indefinitely to increase the pay.

    So for layovering, do not bother with matching cargo / people. It is how you deliver them to the final destination matters.

    Thanks all for your suggestions before.

    Now I am at lvl 13, having new York, Washington (which I want to keep), Atlanta, LA, Dallas, Chicago and Mexico City. What should I do next??

    My fleet:
    5 x birchcraft
    3 x Kangaroo
    2 x Mohawk (which can just make the route from LA to Chicago.

    P.s when will I get the pearjet?

    Pearjet is next level (14).

    For me, I started expanding to South America.

    Yea you need Pearjets but I believe you will need to upgrade them 2x range in order to reach NY to London.

    Im pretty sure I read that you need all 3 range upgrades on a Pearjet to go from NYC to London. Only 2 are needed from NYC to Madrid though.

    (first post :D )

    Any minute now. : )

    Level 14 is when you get the Pearjet. I would suggest hanging on to as many bux and coins as you can until then to be able to purchase a jet and fully upgrade it's range/weight. Then buy London.

    Yea, your prolly right. Was just browsing the this thread and some that you needed to upgrade to some European city.

    Still, I know Pearjets will be worth it, especially cause I still have 1 Airvan and 2 Kangaroos which are killing me.

    But Pearjets are going to wipe me clean. Don't think 130,000 coins and 172 bux will be enough...

    I did around 7-8 jobs for the casablanca thing, but it never updated, it just stayed at 2 so no reward for me:(

    Something tells me this wasnt a guess... If it was, you should buy a lotto ticket :) Anyways, I was gonna expand to South America next anyway, so Santiago is quite convenient (I cant cross the pond yet)

    No rare aircraft/parts this event? Lame! Maybe we will at least get mystery parts?

    Yeah I'm expanding in SA, so this event should fit in. Class 2 is a bummer though. Only buxs as the prize too.
