    I'm going to sit this one out - protesting against bux only events. Although Nimblebit - send me a Concorde today and I'll change my mind.

    I have 40 slots currently. At lower levels, having more plane slots will bring in more revenue in terms of coins. To progress your game, you should keep expanding your slot count to atleast 18-20 slots. This will help you rake in both coins and bux at a good rate. Once you hit level 22 you get a new plane available called Sequoia. This is the preffered plane of 90% of us as its a good reliable coin machine. Remember to allways fill you plane up for the 25% bonus untill you feel its okay to fly with a loss in coins.

    Yes, the sequoia M is an excellent plane for sitting idle and collecting bux jobs. Since its so cheap to fly, you cut your losses (if any), by a great amount using seqs as bux planes. I got 14 seq Ms dedicated to bux harvesting, but I also use sequoias as transport planes. I have another 15 seq Ms trnasporting bux jobs to their destination, along with 5 cyclones Ms for variety.


    Personally I wouldn't bother with bux strategies before level 22 for the seqs and at least 18-20 plane slots. Then you also need to have only class 3 airports opened and preferably a small number of themto start off with.

    My first bux route was LA-Chicago-NY in north america, and Tokyo-Beijing-Seul in asia. My twin hubs was and still is london-paris (I got 6 more twin hubs now tho).

    What i did was have 1 or 2 planes at each airport in the route, fill it with bux jobs and ferry the, to either paris or london, then fly the plane back to its homebase. In paris and london I had 3 seq Ms painted gold to transport the bux jobs to their final destination, then fly back to either paris or london. As i gained more bux, I expanded with planes and slots, then began adding new destinations like mexico city, shangagi etc.

    Ive converted bux many times and you dont have to do a 20++k convert all the time, at lower levels, even 1k for 1 million coins is a huuuuge deal..loads of slots and airports! :)

    How do you get flights that earn you 20000 or more in profit? The most I can get is 15000 from Tokyo to LA.

    Pit Stop the plane close to the final destination. So send a full Tokyo plane from LA to Shanghai. Then when you send it from Shanghai to Tokyo, your "profit" will show higher because it only accounts for the cost of flying from Shanghai instead of LA.

    I'll try it out, thank you! Probably best to do that in a Sequoia and not a Cloudliner?

    - 2 Sequoia-Ms (my bux planes)
    - NY - London - Tehran - Tokyo (my open [prob permanent] airports)
    - 46k coins
    - 111 bux
    - inching toward level 24
    - 1/12 slots is available for another plane (stalking the market for a Sequoia-M engine as we speak; it'll be my 3rd bux plane)

    Am I in a position to go on bux runs? I play this game probably 22hrs a day. I am NOT lying. So sitting around waiting for 3 bux planes to fill up would get boring, right?

    So...what's my next step? :confused:

    I have to say I am finding bux runs very slow and boring... But that being said, it's the fastest way to earn bux so.... If you want a quick expansion and can dedicate that much time right now, you could do a few days of bux runs and then add some more planes to do other work.
