Before the update I’m getting some new contracts etc. does anyone know where I can find out the planes in the L size category in order of size? I want the biggest ones as you obviously earn more for handling them! Is the handling time limit a good indicator of the size? Thanks in advance!
Best indicator of size is maximum number of seats, both the B744 and B77W cap out at 550 seats in an all economy configuration.
Thank you! Can I find this information in game?
Yeah, it should be available in the hangar plus on aircraft cards when you are handling them.
Hello @LaurenRose.
I hope are you and yours doing very well.
Regarding your question, depends on which earnings you value the most.
If you’re looking for the max Wollars, then I’d suggest going for contracts with the B77W, the B744, or even the B789 (in the current L cat, like you’ve mentioned).
By the way, both the A388 and the B748, usually get even higher values, but those are X planes.
If, instead, you’re more interested in higher XP earnings, then you’re better with cargo contracts. Completing a level 10 contract with a B744F will earn you 200 XP, with an AN22 199 XP, with a A3ST 175 XP, with a A332F 173 XP and with a B77LF 165 XP.
Some of these types are difficult or very rare to find contracts with.
Finally, concerning the Silver Planes (SP) earned per contract, that number seems to increased directly with the distance of the trip and with the max number of seats available on the equipment flown, or the max cargo available to be transported. As an example, a A359, from IAD to SYD, in an all economy configuration, can earn you upwards of 1400+ SP (again, at level 10).
So, if you prefer more SP, I’d suggest contracts with the B77W and B77L, the B744, the A346 and the A359 and A35K.
I hope this has helped.
Safe landings and many happy travels.
Hi!
Im well thank you, hope you are too!
Thank you so much! I’m currently trying to get new contracts for LHR. I’ve filled all the X sized parking spaces and now I’m working on the L ones. This is super helpful and I’ll get some of each so that I get a wider variety of planes and liveries!
Good to hear it. I am too, thank you for your kindness.
I’m glad I could be of some assistance.
Sounds like a great plan!
LHR is a good airport for variety, given the high number of stands and slots available.
One other suggestion, if I may, is other players contracts, either with your own fleet, or that of the people your partner with.
On these type of contracts, you ‘start’ right away at level 10, for max SP and XP earnings. Also, with your own fleet, the Wollars earnings are significantly higher. As an example, a well set up B77W contract can earn you 10k+ per handling.
Also, it’s another interesting way of playing this great game.
Check the Connections & Co section of this forum, for more information.
I definitely need to set up some connections! Thank you so much I really appreciate you taking the time to reply!

Thank you for the appreciation and thankfulness, but it’s really nothing. Sharing it’s a great part of the fun, I think.
I’m glad you found the information useful.
I hope I won’t be inappropriate or too much self-serving, right now…
I play regularly at many of the airports. And although I don’t only have many slots available, atm, I’m always happy to start new partnerships.
Safe landings and many happy travels.
