I had the brilliant idea of spending some money on the game and immediately bought some airports. I know it’s not the most viable thing to do because I couldn’t manage them all, and now I have: IAD, LHR, SYD, SCL, and HKG all to manage. Is there one I should prioritize? PS: SCL is already at regional level; the others are all at local level ![]()
There isn’t a clear answer, but I would probably start with IAD, since it will unlock you a new airport after levelling through it (LHR only unlocks SYD which you already have, same with SCL unlocking HKG). HKG will (most likely) unlock you a new airport as well, but since that’s not available yet, I would wait on that for now, but it’s definitely worth considering too. SYD for me is really a pain to level through, just because it’s really far from everywhere for player connections. It just so happens that IAD and HKG are some of the best airports for profits as well, so you will build yourself a very good fleet and source of SPs for future airports early as well ![]()
I would focus on IAD as there is much more ahead of it before LHR. Definetly not LHR because now with SYD there is less point of upgrading
Go all in for HKG and hit max level in the next 2 or 3 months top, so you’re ready for the next airport launch for free! You’ll find it very cool to be part of release day, get all event planes at launch, talk about it while everyone is talking about it…
If you have enough time to play 2 airports simultaneously, either go for SCL as second, as it’s super fast and fun (focus on stands close to where the airplanes leaves the Runways at both sides!), or if you play daily, lvl up LHR a bit and start asking people from HKG to send you their A388s!
I would go in all HKG. HKG will be where you unlock the next airport from, which allows you to join all of us on the hype for whatever comes next (believed to be Zurich). That said - I’d also invest time into IAD as a secondary option. You have the most airports to unlock from there in particular and it’ll be a solid airport for connects with ZRH.
Oh! Thank you so much, you’ve already helped me a lot here haha, I’ll follow these tips, and since I’m starting to have more free time I also want to see if I can play on more than one game a day. I will play more in IAD, HKG and SCL now
Wow you unlocked quite a few airports.
lf you want to join the hype, go for HKG.
If you are a bit old schoolish, try to finish airports based on release date, like me who is still stuck in PRG lol.
Yeah, lol, I did something not quite right, which is buying several at once, but I’m leveling up more in IAD and HKG, and I play SCL occasionally during the holidays.
If you wanna join the hype → HKG
For silver plane farming → IAD (I think)
Big plane arrivals → LHR
E plane arrivals → SCL
I would do SYD at the end
I also want to ask on which airport I should focus now, if I want fast level up and the best wollar income?
I have:
INN (Level 27)
BRI (Level 12)
PRG (catastrophic, Level 3)
IAD (one of my favourites, Level 14)
MCT (catastrophic, Level 2)
SAN (catastrophic, Level 8)
LEJ (level 1…
)
SXM (one of my favs, Level 9)
LHR (one of my favs, Level 5)
SYD (Level 5)
SCL (Level 9)
HKG (I am so lost in here, Level 9)
I think I’ll follow that order exactly. IAD is proving super easy and good to fly into, and I also want to go to HKG because of a nearby airport.
Well, following the advice I’ve received here, I would focus on the airports at IAD and HKG because they have many stands and can handle large D/E/F type aircraft, and especially because they have several very lucrative contracts. Anyway, I would do that, since I’m focusing more on that too, haha. ![]()
Maybe on HKG first, then if you feel tired with HKG and you accidentally find any day in IAD w/o snow this winter you can work on it.
I would actually say that LHR is better for silver planes with all the big contracts
In fact, even though LHR is much larger, IAD has much greater ease in handling contracts, which is why it is the birthplace of SP
Thats a good point but now i forgot about HKG i think that is much better now ![]()
SCL is best for C planes due to low handling crew.
LHR vs IAD depends on play style. LHR if you leave while all the planes land. IAD if you continuously handle.
And I wouldn’t C plane SCL due to limited destinations, but smaller E planes could be a good idea.
IAD has better connectivity to player airports than LHR but I think both pale compared to a maxed HKG on a profit / SP per hour due to the triple landings and large parking area. I’d probably go HKG > IAD > LHR for myself when it comes to grind effectiveness.
I also don’t find SCL a great C airport. A21NY does have some decent connection options, but the airport flows really well with only E planes. I’d MAYBE stick to lower crew planes such as the 787 family and A35K and limit the number of 747s and A388s, but the airport operations are so smooth that I wouldn’t be overly worried about it.
