    I would suggest switching your route from L.A. to Tokyo to N.Y. to Beijing. Feed Beijing with Tokyo and feed N.Y. with L.A. I would also recommend opening Chicago to feed N.Y., but L.A. is going to feed better than Honolulu, in my experience Honolulu is a terrible feeder city.
    I would switch the eagles to Ms, that way you can move them easier. Right now you can't really move a single M from Asia to North America (which I would suggest if N.A. is always layover-empty and Asia is always layover full).

    Okay thank you I am currently moving the planes to their respective spots. Also should I add tetras to my fleet? Very close to level 24

    Should I close shanghai and just use Tokyo as a feeder city?

    It's slow going at the beginning but will pick up later. What level are you? Which cities do you have.

    Try to focus on saving up coins and Bux cuz you'll need them later when you buy class 3 airports (red dots), buy airplanes, buy airplane slots, and upgrade planes/airports.

    You'll want to upgrade some planes as new ones unlock, but I wouldn't replace your entire fleet with too many of these lower/intermediate planes cuz you'll only use them for a short while until you unlock further/larger/better planes.

    Try to fill up your planes with all going to the same destination so you get the 25% cash bonus.

    If you're not having layover problems then you probably don't need shanghai. Seoul makes a better feeder for Beijing than Shanghai does also. Generally you want your feeder ports to be "behind" you fed port, that way you maximize the amount that the bitizens are paying.
    I skipped Tetras personally because I hate uneven-M planes, but if they fit your style by all means give them a go!

    I agree Honolulu makes for a bad feeder, I've sat there a long time waiting to fill up my planes. You get more jobs listed for class 3 (red) airports than class 2 (blue) airports. Honolulu is class 2, and still gives you a crappy job list after upgrading the airport 3x.

    I totally skipped Tetras, never had them in my fleet (that's why I had a spare part to send you). It also had an uneven 4/6 split which made them undesirable to me (cuz I prefer even P/C splits).

    I dont remember which cities you have. I need to scroll back to see which airports you have (kinda stuck in this reply screen right now). I have Tokyo feeding Shanghai. I could easily have Tokyo feeding Beijing. It's good either way. :D it may seem redundant, however I like having all 3 cities (Beijing, Shanghai, and Tokyo) And has already come in handy when one of them is closed (due to snowstorm, etc). Seoul is also a good city to have but I didn't buy that since I already had the other 3 and everything is running fine on that end (for now).

    You're trying to do the opposite of what I'm doing. I keep separate games. My main game (level 30 or so) is on my iPhone. The iPad is a separate game (level 13, I think) for my daughter to play without messing up my main game.

    I think you need to have iCloud set up on your iPhone and also iCloud enabled within the PP game on your phone. The iPhone game data should sync to the "cloud" (wherever that is). And I think you go to your iPad and enable iCloud over there, and hopefully it pulls the level 13 game from cloud to iPad (and not the other way around).

    To be safe, I'd make a backup by syncing the iPhone to the computer (using iTunes) in case things get botched and then you could restore the game from the computer backup to the phone.

    Sorry, I'm not helpful at all cuz I haven't actually tried this. I hope someone who has done this will chime in with their experience. :D

    I suppose I shouldn't be surprised by "COMIC CONVENTION IN SAN DIEGO" as the global event... :)

    I have enough bux to upgrade my 9 Pearjet fleet to a 9 Fogbuster fleet. But the question is, is it worth it?

    Are the 2 extra cargo space slots worth not getting the 25% bonus most of the time? The Fogbusters will let me reduce my total cities from 7 to 5, though.

    If you're going down to fewer airports also, there's no reason you shouldn't be getting the 25% bonuses all the time.

    Also, with only 9 planes you should probably get a couple smaller planes and start using layovers to make SURE you get those bonuses.

    Hmm I just hit level 23. My airline value is about 3.5m and my daily revenue is above 500k. I do Rio to Tokyo (Blue Route), Seoul to San Paulo (Yellow), and Beijing to Buenos Aries (Red).

    No problems with layovers on either side. All six cities are upgraded fully. I have 2 Aeroeagle feeders (P+C) on either side just like you (Black), and 4 planes running Bux and random jobs (Green). All three of my main routes have 1P and 1C Sequoia running back and forth.

    ur way seems to take so much work
    I'm level 31, doin 1,200,000 coins per day.
    running 8 airport (Honolulu - LA - NY - London - Karachi - Tokyo)
    - Jakarta - Sydney)
    i find using layovers to be very annoying, instead i just wait till job refreshes. and i advertise LA and Tokyo.
    All my planes can reach those location.

    I'm running 12 aero , 1 fogbuster, 2 sequoia, 1 tetra, 2 cyclone, 1 cloudliner, 1 seakinght (for global event)

    Im finding it pretty tough to fill the cloudliner, as a result it sits the most... im considering to go mass Aeroeagle..


    I'm open to suggestions
