    Good isn't it! Takes a lot of effort to keep layovers full when you have a few in your fleet but well worth it. Think I might reduce my trans-atlantic fleet to 4 cloudliners and 2 cyclones to make it easier to manage

    Well if you do that I'll trade for your extra cyclones ;) Do you not collect the event planes or you already have them?

    I have closed a couple of airports, what do I do with the left over commuters who still want to go to them?

    Well I might keep the cyclones to be honest for the time being, just because I don't really know if I will end up quitting or not! I say I am, then it grabs me and I play for a couple of hours!

    I didn't do the first event (I wasn't playing at that point I don't think, or if I was, I was learning the ropes - I actually started again when i'd first reached level 12! I'd probably be in the top 20 by now if it wasn't for that), and I got rid of the second event planes when the bug set in so i've just got this event plane! Not really sure of the point of them anyway to be honest??

    You can delete the layovers in question with the little red 'x'

    I'm a little stuck and want a lot of cash fast but can't seen to do so...
    I sometimes do Honolulu to Boston with the 25% bonus and make one stop at L.A. with both of my Aeroeagles my Aeroeagle-C I have upgraded everything to the max... Don't know which city I should buy and which planes I should get. I don't have a lot of class 2 planes because most of my cities are class 1 and most of the jobs I get is class 1. Please answer please would like to get better and get a lot of cash faster :D

    If anyone has any Cloudliner extra parts I would be happy to take them off your hand (;

    Sorry, I was running out the door when I typed my last response and didn't read your post carefully. I now realize that you already have the parts to build 4 PearJets and 1 AeroEagle. In that case, you could swap out your 1 active Equinox for the PearJet or AeroEagle you can build ONLY if you know you can fully load it with P/C all going to the same destination (for the 25% bonus). This way you'll be able to transport 4 or 5, instead of 3. I dont think you gain much advantage by replacing Mohawks with Equinoxes.

    You should try to load PearJets (and better planes) with P/C going to the same place in order to make these larger planes more profitable. I use big class 1 cities as hubs to collect layovers and when I've collected enough peeps going to the same place, I'll load them up onto the same plane and send them off. I use smaller planes to take passengers from nearby smaller airports to the larger hub airport where they wait for a larger plane to take them to their final destination.
    In your case, you could devote some of your Mohawks toward shuttling people from smaller airports to a larger hub airport. Then use your PearJet to pickup them up and take them to their final destination. (or if you have lots of time to check in, just keep waiting for the job list to refresh and keep loading people going to the same place until plane is full)

    A fully upgraded PearJet can cross from New York to London.
    An upgraded Birch can cross from South America to Africa (I used Rio to Lagos, but there are other possible combos)

    YMMV = your mileage may vary (your experience, results, observations, etc may differ from mine)

    Sao Paulo - Kimshasa - Mumbai - Seoul

    Tokyo feeding Seoul and Santiago feeding Sao Paulo.

    I can't take credit for the route, I saw someone else post it a bunch of pages back. Its been working out pretty well for me so far.

    Cool thanks! Saves me buying the wrong airports!

    Don't think I could cope with just 1 airport feeding each end though - I like 2 for some reason so i'll probably have Tokyo and Shenyang feeding Seoul, and Buenos and Sao Paulo feeding Rio! (I'm not fussed about the feeders being in a straight line - just the route its self.)

    Can anyone tell me, to get the free plane for the challenge that ends in 8 hours, do I need to buy and have an open spot for a plane? And what happens if you don't?

    No, the plane just goes into your hangar - whether you have a free plane spot or not

    I would keep an extra slot open so you won't have to pay some bux to put it in your team if you are going to use it

    I was under the impression it went into your hangar regardless of whether you had an open slot or not?
