I am in the market for a medium plane, but I dont know which one to choose. I’m operating from LHR and need it to be able to connect to asia and africa. I do already have the A21N so ive crossed off the A21NX. Any opinions?

the A21NX has much range and if you put it with more business/first class it flies further you could do the same for a BCS3 and the 752
For me personally the B752, not because it is my favourite plane, but it offers the most range, the most XP and costs (currently still as a V1 plane) relatively not much GP

752 is a great option. You really won’t have very many choices for that kind of range. 38M might be able to do it, and also the NX. Pretty sure that’s going to be it for M.

I’m also considering getting a cheap L plane. Should I do that instead?
it will get you more money so if you want
I recommend the a332 (either type) for cheap L

Hello Charles.
I hope you are doing well, as your loved ones too.
Regarding your doubts, if you’ll allow me, I like to add a few considerations to the (excellent) points already raised here.
If you’ve crossed out the A21NX, for the (new) C class airplanes (previous M) you don’t really have nothing else that meats the range requirements you’ve mentioned.
Comparatively to the A332, or any other larger plane, the B752 has the advantage of cheaper stands (12k for a C vs. 20k for a D [Airbus A300 and Boeing 767 family], or 30k for an E [Airbus A330 family, Boeing 787 and all other previous L planes]).
The B752 has lower maintenance costs.
The B752 requires one less handling agent (7 vs. 8) and is usually quicker, than the wide bodies.
The main advantages of the A332, one of the most profitable larger airplanes, with a low GP cost, are longer range, more Wollars per handling and higher number of SP per contract.
I hope this may help your decision making. Good luck.
Have fun, with whatever choice you make.
Safe landings and many happy travels.

What’s your personal recommendation if I was looking for a second choice for L planes “after” I unlocked A35K and B77W (or 744) … A332? .. I’m planning to unlock L planes under 30gp

In the 777 wiki there’s a graph of all L fleet planes revenue and another for profit. You can check there to see profits. Personally I like the 744, and the 787s. Your pretty much set in terms of profit.

Good question, my friend!..
Personally, the only previous L / future E (New Aircraft Categorization for 3.0) aircraft that I have unlocked is the B789. It’s a bit pricey, nowadays, but was a good compromise between range and profitability in version 1.x (when I unlocked it).
Regarding the A35K, it’s got one the longer in-game ranges of all models, only behind the B77L, if I’m not mistaken. However, the A35K will earn you more XP (at level 10, 135 for the A35K vs. 109 for the B77L). In terms of SP, if you compare the same route, the A35K should be higher, considering it has more seating capacity.
Comparing the Boeing Triple 7 and the 747-400, the unlocking cost of the B77W is double the cost for the B744 (56 vs. 28).
In terms of XP (level 10), 119 for the B77W vs. 135 for the B744.
The seating capacity is the same (one of the design objectives of the initial triple 7 project was exactly a twin engine aircraft to replace the 747).
The range of the B744 is better, but not by much.
The 747 takes a little longer to be handled and requires 3 more handling agents. Something to consider.
I agree with @Thatflyerguy regarding the Wollars profitability, when it comes to the B744 and the Dreamliners (the B789, in particular).
But, getting back to your question, I’d probably go with the A343 (I’m actually planning on unlocking the A346). Much better range, which gives you more flexibility. And better seating capacity, too. At 22 GP, I think it’s preferable to the A332. But be mindful of the Wollar cost, which is 74k higher for the A343 compared to the A332.
Have you thought about a cargo airplane? They don’t have the range of the pax ones, but in terms of XP, there’s a considerable difference.
And LHR it’s not too bad, in terms of cargo stands.
I hope you find this information useful.

more than me mate all my money has gone into buying stands before 3.0 
Does that include full business seats on the a321LR?
In relation to what? Range?
Us B752 people and it now being a class D plane is going to make our fleets unusable at some airports haha! Oh well.
Really? I don’t know and Airport without D Planes
Both aircraft if the B752 has business seats can’t remember now.
