Hi guys im new n i recently js got like 15 gps
what should i buy w them, should i buy new airport or smthg?
Sit on them! Save up for Premium Passes on new airports or financing “infra structure” on new airports. This speeds up development and the ability to get more contracts and planes quicker, thus getting more SP’s quicker and more GP’s quicker.

I always ask the same question back:
What do you like the most about the game?
In most cases, what you are looking for might defer depending on the answer.

For me, in the early game I bought several airports, and then I saved for a few months to get the 777 and later the A21NX, when it came out. I felt I should prioritize getting a really nice hub, and only later focus on building it with aircraft to a large scale. However most people have different priorities, wholly depends on you. The only thing I would caution against is NEVER use GP to buy Wollars.
I’m personally not a believer in buying airports with 2 exceptions:
-
CNN – this airport can ONLY be obtained through a purchase, while every other airport can be unlocked for free by grinding.
-
HKG – this is the most recent airport so finishing the level pass will be where the next airport unlocks from when it’s released. It’s also probably the most efficient airport for grinding Wollars and SP, while also being huge and great for parking a large fleet.
That said:
Every Premium Pass (yes, including the more controversial ones like SYD) is worth it at the end of the day when you calculate out the value you get from it between handling crew, extra contract slots, planes, liveries, etc. I would always save up enough for the next airport before going on to it. It’s a nice way to see what various planes are good at to! In short – if you play the airport and therefore use the rewards in the pass, its worth it!
In addition, one of my favorite things to do is to build a fleet to send to other players. For that I use a variety of planes. These are my favorites for optimizing the various currencies, though I often just fly planes I like because pretty much every fleet plane will give you a net positive profit. I kept this list pretty limited and left out a lot of my more fringe contenders off.
(Also this is an old screenshot from a WIP wiki article I’m working on in my spare time and the SF34F has been removed since this was taken, I recommend the AT43F exclusively for B Cargo)
I’m happy to go into more detail of what planes I use for what if you’re curious, but my general recommendation is to get premium passes, experiment with the planes in them and asking yourself:
-
Do you enjoy having your own fleet?
-
if so, what you prefer doing with your fleet and what airports do you enjoy playing?
Each of these questions will guide you towards what composition of a fleet is right for you. Many people exclusively go by profit, and in my opinion, if that’s the only metric you use you’re missing out on a lot!

May I ask why A332F has the strange character that I assume is like an “and / &”, and has no other following model? It’s only because it’s still WIP?

I think they use the section sign to mark those aircraft who haven’t yet been upgraded to a version 3 model

You got it. Those are my “value picks’“ that haven’t been upgraded yet!

Thanks for the advice! Unfortunately I already bought LHR 
, do you have any advice in running it? And do you have any free planes in your fleet that you can send to my airport? My Username ingame is the same as my forum username.

I’m currently taking a break from playing heavily so my planes aren’t in the air very often.
My advice is to focus on E and F planes. The airport is huge but its biggest issue is runway capacity, so the bigger the better imho.
Good luck!
Following with @CJ_RVWilliams said, I’d say one pro tip may be to pack your unassigned fleet planes on the South East stands, as the planes there should be more time parked and it’s quite more efficient in terms of runway usage time (in other words, less used stands should be the ones that make the most time to reach it, with the plane being inside the runway). If you need further explanation feel free to ask
okkk guyss thanks for the advice
I currently have the first three and SXM unlocked, and I hope to get the Gold Pass at IAD, so I’m going back to grind the first 3. Do you recommend the passes for them?
If they are airports you plan to keep playing for a long time, they sure don’t hurt. I got the INN PP for the upcoming remodel for example. I wouldn’t say they are high priorities though. Other premium passes are more valuable.
