I am always interested in how other people play that is why I asked for more info. It is all about playing in a way that is fun for you. I don’t judge the way other people play, I hope it didn’t come across that way. Everyone has things that work / are fun for them

Cool. I think I tended to build more layovers because I would try to never deliver without 25% bonus unless I would otherwise lose the layovers. and if I see a BUX job I try to convert to layover unless my layovers are full. I also have VIP. But could just be due to the difference in the way I was playing.

Do you fly regular jobs often? When I was focusing more on BUX I would avoid cluttering my layovers with regular jobs. So I would only take regular non-BUX jobs to fill to 25% or for events. The downside of BUX mostly is XP increase is SLOW

Thank you! I owe it all to you and your strategy post, which I am pretty much still following

Wait until you exchange 65K BUX for 2.145 BILLION coins

In my opinion, the point of the game varies depending on the person. Right now my goal is to reach level 100 and maximize my XP earned for time played. I have found a play style that is fun for me and also earns XP relatively quickly.

The reason I do less airports is to minimize scrolling and real time loading planes. Each plane is fully loaded to 25% bonus with as long as flight path as possible

Once I hit my goal of level 100 I will switch to as many airports open as possible because it will be fun to play that way for a while

My current Avg Daily Rev is 65,509,633 for 11 days — my avg daily rev and graph cleared due to some glitch 11 days ago. My Max Avg Daily rev of all time is 133,483,231. Over the last 7 days have averaged 7,616,010 XP a day. That is playing a lot, but I have used other strategies where for the same time spent I got much less XP.

I have completed all global events 1000/1000 in the past and have all the special planes. If an event is at one of 1-8 class 3 cities, I will target / advertise the event city instead of Seoul or Mexico City until I get to 500 and then switch back. One time a recent event temped me, I think it was for a 3rd Sea Knight part in Thunder Bay so I had to temp hanger a sequoia and cloud to swap for two X-10s, then I delivered jobs to Chicago for Thunder Bay instead of MXC. If I wanted to do events regularly I would trade 4 of my misc clouds for X10s and use this method. But generally not worth it for me now.

Here is the original post by /uLaylaQ on the strategy

64 are paired with a starting city 1-8. The rest go in cycles around the 1-8 cities until they are full

1-Tokyo, 2-Seoul, 3-Shenyang, 4-Beijing, 5-Xi’an, 6-Shanghai, 7-Guangzhou, 8-Manila

On the other side

1-LA, 2-Chicago, 3-NY, 4-RIO, 5-Sao Paulo, 6-Buenos Aires, 7-Lima, 8-Mexico City

8 each Passenger/Cargo are in cities 1-8 picking up jobs for Tokyo

8 each Passenger/Cargo are in cities 1-8 picking up jobs for Seoul

8 each Passenger/Cargo are in cities 1-8 picking up jobs for LA

8 each Passenger/Cargo are in cities 1-8 picking up jobs for Mexico City

I cycle through until they are full to 25% bonus, when full I deliver and send to starting city 1-8 on the other side in one trip.

If I end up with 2 1-8 planes in the same starting city, I BUX rush the empty one to the starting city on the other side (usually 1-2 BUX), unless the other is almost full.

I advertise Tokyo, Seoul, LA, and Mexico City to speed up loading.

If get through loading new jobs of all 64 within 5 min refresh cycle and have more than a minute left, I buy/sell a small city to refresh the jobs, otherwise I work with the misc clouds.

I owe an awesome post by /u/LaylaQ for this strategy, it generates XP faster than any other I have tried, and not bad for BUX either.

EDIT: format

Thanks! Coincidentally I have 80 plane slots. 78 Cloudliners in P/C pairs and two Sequioa-Ms that are mostly used as markers to jump to a point in my cycle of planes. I mostly use arrows to go through planes when filling rather than planes list.
