I mean i dont have BKK but I’ve played it as my dad has it and its a great airport.

You sure? I can’t even get a Thai AirAsia A330 from KUL and that’s a real route…

Yea they dont have many of the shorthall widebody routes ingame

Makes sense right lol

In my opinion BRI is massively underrated, I love the airport and as my alliance partners know its been open for player connections for months now.

Not sure why we don’t get short haul L contracts that often, looking at you NGO…

Got a JAL A359 which is exclusively domestic but no domestic flights for it. Hot take, but we need more L/X short haul contracts.

Its perfect just your average european holiday airport but it has so much flair!

fr there should be more like qantas syd-mel or JAL ngo-nrt

Ill send you a 330 from my sxm soon (probably a week as I spent all my money on easyjet, jet2, Tui and Vueling contracts to sxm…)

Also the a300 used to fly routes like bkk to Yangon, Phuket, Hanoi, Chang Mai, and Khon Kaen which are all local…
We have local a300’s at lej so I don’t see how this would be a problem

@Jamesonplanes I’m done! :joy:
I don’t have MCT or LEJ unlocked, as after 2.0 came out I almost exclusively played the new airports, so, excluding those, my picks are:

10- INN, I hate to put any airport in last, and I think there’s something to the simplicity of INN, but there just isn’t much to do, especially without L/X.

9- NGO, this will upset a lot of people, but I think the airport is just not as interesting as others, there’s nothing wrong with the airport, lots of L/X stands and such, but low domestic contract diversity, and nothing to set it apart from others.

8- BRI, there is a great model and local diversity. Only 2 L stands and no X though.

7- IAD, good contract diversity, a good amount of L/X stands, only 2 runways (for now) and a terrible model (for now)

6- SAN, good contest diversity, and a great flow rate. As @LeChonk pointed out 4 L/X stands isn’t enough though.

5- LHR, lacks good domestic contracts, it’s hard to fill up with only 2 runways and a massive amount of stands.

4- SXM, great model, and great scenery as well. I love the quantity of S as well, though it restricts larger planes, also terrible flow rate.

3- SYD, mediocre diversity of regional contracts, flow rate would be better with double landings, it feels really nice to play though.

2- PRG, Everything except the taxi time is perfect.

1- BKK, people have already said it, massive size, great flow rate with 3 runways, contract diversity, model, devs smashed it out of the park.

That is a @Jamesonplanes approved list :joy:

Most of the time was just thinking lol.

Prague is my old favourite but the slow taxi time is way too much of a deal breaker, especially with the taxiway only holding around 4-5 planes before the actual airport gets congested

My biggest beef with BKK is no player connections to INN and SXM. But, most folks don’t want L planes at SXM and INN can’t handle them, so its not enough of a loss to dock it a few points.
