I can see ur point, but a bit of advise, Tehran would be a better choice than Moscow, then u can expand into India and then china/ Japan...
6 pears, 2 aero eagles and 1 fog buster. The pears and aero's have fully upgraded range. I just need to get rid of my last birch for a pear and I'll be fully stocked.
That is a good point. With a Pearjet fully upgraded fuel it is just short of Xi'an and Beijing. I have a great line going LA -> NY -> London -> Paris -> Istanbul -> Tehran -> Delhi -> Dhaka. From there you can get easily to Guangzhou, Shanghai, Xi'an, Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo, Manila, Bangkok, Jakarta, you see where I'm going from here (no pun intended).
Ug, I just sold Paris (mistake!) and bought London. I feel like I need to come here now before any purchase decision!
London is better than Paris. It's almost in the same place and also the best city for getting to New York quickly (by using an upgraded Pearjet).
hmm my flights for events aren't updating.. I swear I sent more than 2 people to san jose. no 50 bux reward gfor me
The plane that drops off the layover will lose money (the cost of the flight). Only the plane that picks up the layover and takes it to its requested destination will earn the fare.
Would like some input from people who have layovers and long distance flights down to a science. I'm not sure how to proceed from my current position to increase revenues. You'll find a screenshot of my airports and funds available in an image below. And here are my assets: North American airports: San Francisco Los Angeles Dallas Detroit New York Boston Honolulu European airports: London Class 1 planes: Kangaroo M Mohawk P Mohawk C Mohawk M P-40 Warhawk Huey Class 2 planes: Equinox M Birchcraft P Birchcraft M Pearjet M My average daily revenue is currently 91,000, dips slightly when I participate in events but goes back up by the end of them. Profit/hour for most planes are over 1,100 with the Pearjet M at 4,200 from doing flights out from London to Honolulu that earn me almost 4,000 if I remember correctly. As you can see I probably have enough money to upgrade everything to Birchcrafts, Pearjets and Aeroeagles. But I am unsure how to make those long haul flights out to London and back to Honolulu or Los Angeles to make money. Am I meant to have my Pearjets and Aeroeagles sitting at New York and Boston while I have my Birchcrafts or smaller planes feed them passengers and cargo from other airports, and then make the long flight out to London? When people say they make flights from Honolulu to Los Angeles to New York to London. Do they make a full, complete, paid stop to each of these cities or do they mean they're hauling all London-bound passengers and cargo from Honolulu only?
How do some of you have a whole Huey? I only have the one part from the one event. Also: where do you get the other special planes? I want a friggin' Concorde!
I was coming here to ask, exacty this question! Do Huey parts pop up in the market? I too only have 1 part from the Event.
You need to make sure that when flying your Pearjets they are completely full of preferably passengers and/or cargo all going to the same destination. I find that if you have five different stops, even if they are in a 'line' then the flight is not very profitable. I usually have a Pearjet sitting at a 10m airport, such as London, and every time the jobs are refreshed I load up all passengers to NY or LA or Honolulu, whichever destination has the most jobs. Then the next time the jobs refresh you will keep those already loaded and can load more up until you get five to the same destination, which, with the 25% bonus, becomes very profitable indeed. The money is definitely worth the wait. You can feed passengers and cargo to your Pearjets or Aeroeagles with small planes, but make sure you use ONLY small planes. Birchcrafts will not do as they cost too much to fly which makes a big dent in your total profits. Use light aircraft such as Navigators or Supergophers if the distance is greater. These are cheap to fly and you will not need to carry more than two at a time usually when feeding your large aircraft. But again when doing this make sure that you get that 25% bonus as you need to cover for the costs of feeding your aircraft. As I've mentioned before, usually you would get all London-bound passengers/cargo as the only planes with long enough range to cross the Atlantic are very heavy and the flight cost is greater than the profits from the cargo to London. From Honolulu to LA to NY you can make stops at each city to drop off goods or passengers as the distance is shorter so you can still make money from this method. Hope this helped!

I wouldn't worry too much about that, I've even got one in minus figures (one of the ones that drops off layovers). Just your overall profit/hour matters. Lots of people are doing something similar to that, yes. London - Honolulu.
You only get the bonus for delivering passengers/cargo to their destination, so your feeder aircraft won't get the bonus.
Sorry if I wasn't clear in my post but that is what I meant. The feeder aircraft lose money because they don't deliver passengers or cargo to their destination and those costs should be covered in the bonus you gain for having all passengers/cargo going to the same city.
That's what I'm doing right now with my single Pearjet, wait until I get a full load going to the same destination. However, you're waiting on luck and not using layovers unless you micromanage and use other planes to drop off a few passengers and cargo to feed the larger plane. I think I've read about a few people managing it with Birchcrafts to forgo Class 1 planes. If I use sideload a few London or Honolulu bound passengers with other random ones, I think you can offset the cost and still make a profit on Birchcraft flights. It's rare I will lose money on feeding flights unless all passenger and cargo are meant to feed the other plane. This is more my main question, from reading posts about making flights from Tokyo to Los Angeles. Do people only fill an all Tokyo or an all Los Angeles flight going one way and not making any stops or do they make stops at each city, filling 25% bonus at each and every stop?
I'm trying to start using feeder ports to feed LA and New York full of layovers. I guess it wouldn't be smart to use Las Vegas, for example, to send New York customers to LA for a layover, would it? The resulting profit for delivering those customers on to New York would be less than it could be, I'm assuming.
