    And when you go to plane overview you see blue and black dots in front of the destination. What do they say?

    And Concorde! 400mph basic speed without upgrades! Very imbalanced passenger / cargo number but I still plan on acquiring a few to have a small fleet of them run around doing bux jobs and the like :)

    I'm pretty sure the hot air balloon costs nothing to fly so that's useful for the long distance awards you complete (and the thought of a hot air balloon flying one little bitizen across the world is quite fun to me!). The Blimp will also be useful for those as well as special events.

    The starship has a massive 4,000 miles range!

    The C-130 just looks like fun to have 'bombing' around. And perhaps they'll update the game with events that you can only complete using these rare aircraft maybe? Who knows...!

    What are you spending all your coins on?! You only have 5 airports so even if you're advertising it would only be 500,000 coins per day / 8 hours depending how much you play and if you were advertising at each airport. You're earning over 1,000,000+ coins a day so from all the extra you save each day of play, you should have more than 2mil by now shouldn't you? Or am I forgetting anything...? And have you recently spent a lot of bux?

    (I only average just under 200,000 coins per day at level 20, yet to utilize Fogbusters. But I still have 1,000,000 coins banked and 600 bux!)

    My route has evolved into: LA > NY > London < Tehran < Shanghai... all fully upgraded.

    My highest profit (currently #22 in game center) was a full Cloudliner, full upgrade on weight, from Honolulu > Tokyo, of course stopping at Shanghai just before the final leg.

    Spending all my coins on planes. Flying 20 right now. The slot for the 21st costs 2,106,525. 45 or so in my hangar.

    Bux are going towards parts and weight upgrades as I add Cloudliners and Cyclones to replace Tetras and Fogbusters.

    I have yet to try advertising. On my list of to-do's though!

    I plan to drop Shanghai and re-add Tokyo. Gotta clears tons of Shanghai layovers first. It was only yesterday I still had a couple Pearjets and Aeroeagles in the mix.

    Not ready to give up any big planes at this point. They may have a place in this money machine at around 25-30 planes flying.

    Yes you can pick someone up, but you have to actually stop at Lyon and pick someone up manually, it won't happen automatically.

    It's the class of airport. Black = class 1, blue = class 2, red = class 3. Class 3 aeroplanes can only land in class 3 cites, class 2s can land in class 3 and class 2, and class 1s can land anywhere. You cannot change the class of a city.

    But unlocking every plane slot up to 20 costs less than 4mil which you should have in less than a week with your profits?
    Do you mean you're spending your coins on flight costs (how else do you spend coins on planes?). How are you managing to fill all those planes with passengers/cargo? Do you go for the +25% bonus of just fly full with randoms? Which cities do you have?

    What's your route/s and which aircraft do you use for which purposes? Really interested in the strategy you're employing! It sound's different to the norm, but maybe that's because you're such a high level?

    Plane slots have by far been my biggest expense. And my avg daily revenue has been on a steep slope upward over the last few days, so just a few days ago I wasn't doing nearly as well.

    Airport upgrades have been another expense, and I've even upgraded airports when I've set up sister airlines for global events.

    Route right now: LA > NY > London < Tehran < Shanghai

    Route later tonight : LA > NY > London < Tehran < Tokyo (no more Pearjets or Aeroeagles flying, so all planes can make the jump from Tehran to Tokyo).

    Layovers strategy looks like this:
    LA > NY < > London < > Tehran < Tokyo

    Always full planes and almost always the 25% bonus to final destination... using London to fill up on a certain location when I don't get a full bonus in NY or Tehran. Flights used to set up layovers from Tokyo and LA will lose money, but it pays off in the end.

    And... waiting at an airport can pay off. If the jobs are about to refresh, fill up a plane (or two) with jobs, let the jobs refresh, and see what you get after the refresh.

    Correct me if I am wrong; so everbody that needs to go from la to tokyo first has to wait in London for a full Tokyo only plane?

    For example you have 10 planes pendling between la <> london and 10 planes between london <> tokyo

    No, only some of the time. Most of the time the big planes get filled in NY & Tehran. Not too hard to do with 20+ planes (big planes) and full airport upgrades.

    Trying to balance the number of planes between the West and East is tough. Too many variables... that's what is so good about this game.

    Which would be more tactical?

    Buy 2 Tetras, (one P and one C), or just save up for some Cloudliners? I

    m a Level 20 with 3 airports. 87 bux. Los Angelos, New York, and Paris. Fogbusters-M.

    I'm now level 21 and I'm doing L.A to Tokyo making stops at N.Y London Tehran bejing and then Tokyo. Honolulu and San francisco are feeding L.A with Tokyo job and Beijing and shanghai feeding Tokyo with L.A jobs. My jobber planes are two aeroeagles P and two aeroeagles C one on each side of the trade route. I have a pearjet p and pearjet c going from Honolulu to L.A dropping off Tokyo jobs. And equinox p and equinox c going from San Francisco to L.A dropping off Tokyo jobs also.

    I have a fogbusters p, fogbusters C, and a fogbuster m in the hangar should I use them???

    Also do you think it is a good idea to buy Seoul as another city for my jobber planes to stop at? My tokyo layover is constantly full and I have upgraded it all the way and I think it is a good idea to move some layovers jobs to Seoul and maybe to use that as another end point since Tokyo is constantly full with layovers and I hate to see layovers be unused, that's just money out the window :/ Give me your opinion

    I've been wondering if I would be better off closing Chicago and Seoul once I get Cloudliners. Are you finding it easier to populate layovers just using LA, NY, SE and TK? I'm a few levels away but I imagine that is a much easier to manage.
