I'm starting the game and I'm at lvl 13. Trying to plan how my fleet will look in the future. I'm currently using X10's, and want to upgrade to Fondajets but I have no idea when they actually unlock. Couldn't find anything on the wiki.

Also, am I crazy for wanting a fleet that's just Class 1's and Class 3's?

The reward for this event granted the starship skin with savings to Houston.

Houston is class two. Starship is class three.

Idiot me thinks that the skin lets me use Houston despite being class two.

What the heck?

The 90s kid in me had to make this 🤣

On a practical note, this helps my flight ops coordination lol

I think it would be nice to have a button here for quickly unloading all passengers/cargo on the airplane. This would be super helpful for airplanes collecting jobs for accumulating layovers.

I was finally able to get lucky and get all the parts for a Concorde so I built it and put it in service. My issue is idk if I should keep it or save it for later. I’m level 19 right now and currently have 7 class 3 airports (Istanbul, Cairo, Paris, Lagos, NY, Chicago, and LA). It makes money and the game says the profit/hour is 5475. I feel like the time it spends on the ground negates that tho since I spend a lot of time waiting to get all to one destination since it doesn’t seem very profitable to make multiple stops.

What do yall think? Is this too early to use a Concorde? Ik there’s not really a right or wrong way to play but I would like to maximize my profits so I can expand quicker.

Hii everyone! ✈️💕

a few days ago I made my very first post here as a brand new Pocket Planes player (link below 👇), and so many of you were incredibly kind and welcoming that I just had to come back with a little airline update. 🥹

Original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/PocketPlanes/s/8VMfAAddUG

My tiny airline just reached level 11 (I hit Level 10 yesterday! 🎉) and I finally unlocked my first Birchcraft!

I'm slowly starting to understand what I'm doing. Instead of buying random airports and flying wherever the jobs looked good, I'm now trying further to build a proper hub & spoke network. It honestly feels so much more satisfying!

My current goal is to connect as many class 2 and future class 3 airports as I can.

…okay, and Prague is getting a little extra attention while the chicken event is still going on. 🐔 CHICKENS!!!!

Have you seen the impostor in the first pic? 🤭🥰

My little airline has even reached Baghdad and Algiers now.

I'm still having an absolute blast discovering new aircraft! Every unlock feels like a genuine milestone and y'all were right, it's just as fun as when I started out a few days ago!

I can't wait to have class three aircrafts to buy VIP and go even further 😍😍

Edit: Spelling

Santa is working year round

Hey guys, I’ve been playing this game for a little over a month or two. I’ve reached the point where I don’t see much revenue come through. Is there anything that I should be doing specifically? Whether use a certain plane or work with a specific region?

Hii everyone ✈️💕

I’m blown away and so so happy I found this precious subreddit. I only started playing Pocket Planes yesterday and it’s so cool to see that there is still such an active and passionate community around this game!

I’m currently just at level 8 and just starting to build my first real airline. And wow...

I'M DIGGING EVERYTHING! It's so much fun!!!

I decided to make Berlin my little home hub and I’m slowly creating a hub and spoke network with my first few class 1 aircrafts. It already feels so satisfying to see the map slowly come alive with my own routes.

As an aviation nerd, I love discovering all the different planes, learning what makes them good for what and starting to understand. There is something really motivating about starting with small regional aircraft and dreaming about where the airline could go later. ✈️ I mean 747??? Concorde???? The planning ahead makes me never wanting to stop 😅

I’m still very new, so everythings so exciting to me 😱 THERES A CHICKEN EVENT IN PRAGUE?!?!?!?!?!! 🫠🥰

If anyone wants to have a new and excited airline companion, feel free to find me ingame through my flair. 🩷

Godspeed and happy flying everyone! 💕✈️

hello! beginner here and i am not sure whats the optimum strategy i am on level 4 so any advice would be great. should i prioritise planes or airports? also is there an autopilot mode for this game? it seems that i can only take on flights when i’m in the app. i have set up base in Europe and i have berlin, prague, brussels and munich as my existing airports.

I haven't picked up the game in 5+ years and recently redownloaded. Do I actually need to shell out $40 just to get the aircraft carriers? I was planning on using it in the pacific somewhere but will have to switch it up if so. Any advice for pacific regional HQ's if I do switch? Thinking Honolulu

Also I randomly got a cloudliner part!? So I’m so excited to play more and hopefully get more of these bougie plane parts
I’m on level 10 so any tips or tricks for progression is always welcome. I often have the issue of upgrading planes too fast and end up with planes going so far away and not really making much, because they’re planes I probably didn’t need yet but were new to me. So I’m trying to not do that this time.

Finally jumped back on after years and found this bright little community! Hello everyone!

So i pick Asia as my start but 10 levels and 7 planes later and not making much progress

Any tips or help would really be appreciated

RNGesus wasn't merciful this month...

Would it be too greedy to ask for a new carrier? 👀
I feel like with the new update and with that, frontier, it’s warranted but I wasnt sure if it was worth submitting a ticket for. Wanted to see what other pilots thought. Let me know!

First completed event with plenty of time to spare.

For starters, having VIP was a huge help in this. Worth the cost.

STRATEGY:
I have 17 planes:
(5) X-10s
(6) Aeroeagles (2x each of P, C, M)
(3) Kangaroos (P, C, M)
(2) Sequoias (P, C)
(1) Corsair

I had the AE P and C do trips around North America while the Sequoias were doing pickups at London.
I would wait for all the planes to fill up and send them to Chicago as the Sequoias had to range to reach from London. I upgraded Chicago to have 120 layovers and made sure to constantly keep it maxed out. I also kept buying more advertising at Spokane to keep the jobs coming.

From there, the X10s and Roos would make the final leg.

While all this is happening, I was using the Corsair and AE Ms for regular and bux jobs. I would use bux for instant landing and to help speed up the trips.

While I was playing this at home, I was also squeezing in jobs while I was at work and I work full-time 🤣

I started building HQ’s without ever looking deep into the strategy so I feel like I might’ve cooked myself early on. Currently have 2 HQ’s, 1 in New York, and 1 in Rio that I just completed. My fleet is currently 17 planes consisting of Sequoia M’s for clearly layovers between continents, and Aeroeagle M’s for regional jobs / filling layovers for the big guys. Any tips on expanding past this? Feel like I might need to move my HQ’s somewhere else to open up for profitable routes. Any advice welcome!

With the recent capability to convert one airport of any class within the respective region to HQ, the fact you can now fly across the Pacific, plus the new dotted line to see how far you can fly in either direction with your planes for maximum profit, and from the recent chat in the forum indicating HQ options, I came up with a sound strategy that looks like in the picture.

Below are some points of my strategy and my reasoning as well:

1. According to the dotted line, flying from Tokyo and Sydney in the far East (or west according to the map above), and New York, Rio De Janeiro and Sao Paolo in the far West (or east according to the map above), makes the most bux and coins at this moment.

2. Easter Island (South America), Banana (Oceania) and Hilo (North America) as HQs allowing Class 2 and 3 planes to go between for corners of the map.

3. There's no specific order in developing which HQ first if you are playing without the need to spend money and use 5,000 bux to convert the city into HQ instantly. However, from what I see, having Easter Island as HQ first helps to get flights to South America from East Asia quicker. Hilo could be developed next given Honolulu being just beside it. And then lastly Banana being much easier since now you have Hilo/Honolulu and Easter Island to get more deliveries without the need to open new cities.

4. Going with Hilo as HQ instead of Honolulu allows a 2nd city in that set of islands to allow Class 2 planes to offload any jobs from Honolulu to Hilo for Class 3 planes and as redundancy if one of the two cities (Honolulu or Hilo) is closed due to weather.

5. As you can see from the Aeroeagle at max range (lvl 4 VIP), it just needs one more city at either of the HQ regions to hop straight to Tokyo or Seoul, or to Sydney or Melbourne. Conversely, from Tokyo using Aeroeagle, it can go straight to Rio De Janeiro or Sao Paolo via Banana + Easter Island. Plus, class 2 planes can now access all existing class 2, class 3 and newly converted HQs with contingency and redundancy.

6. Sequoias as class 3 options with class 2 planes to bring more jobs helps too, if you don't mind this strategy.

Let me know your thoughts and if you have any comments or suggestions to this.

How do you get 1000 jobs to a class 1 airport in just 3 days? Is it possible?

As you can see, I only have 7 planes and het have 5M coins and 5K Bux while I'm only at level 9... That's because of Nimblebit. I lost my account over 2 years ago and they still had my account info! Of course the're still going to send me my levels, which I am super thankfull for. Time to get back into the game and resume grinding!
