A bit of advice for anyone that will do this same gc achievement, as soon as you send your class 1 plane, you can then close all the connecting cities immediately which will keep those cities from flooding your job market, and your plane will still complete it's journey.

Good luck rocking the Wellington challenge!

May I ask what airports you used?

I decided as soon as it started to just go for it, but hesitated a little in fully committing all aircraft to it.

I basically got to #11 only to drop to #30 after not playing for one of the days! So decided to ignore profit / loss and go all out - 4 Fogbusters, 1 Kangaroo, 2 Birchcraft, 2 Cyclones, 1 Sea Knight and 7 Aeroeagles flooded South Brazil with jobs for Salvador! Airports were London / Paris, Chicago / New York, Sao Paulo / Rio, Recife and Salvador. I was delivering about 140-220 jobs every hour or so of play! Ended catching up and placing 6th, still out of reach of Faye unfortunately! (2,217 jobs to 3,319!) Well done Faye!!!!!!

Wow! I noticed your sudden climb within the Top 10 on the last day! And then you stopped, must have gone to bed for the night. I'm sure it was more efficacious to open so many South American cities. Very smart move. I prolly should have done that. I only had Salvador, Rio and Sao in South America ... and then I stopped using Sao in the latter half of the event, relying mainly on Rio. Salvador jobs were coming in from NY, London, and Shanghai.

I'm enjoying the slower pace of the current Wellington event. Entry into the Top 10 is 253+ jobs, and the #1 guy has 693 jobs. I've got a bunch of Kangaroos running back & forth between Sydney & Wellington.

Can everyone share what they are doing for their regular routes lately? The strategy I've been using seems to have settled down at around 1.5M coins per day and not going any higher (checking about 4-5 times per day to reload planes). Anyone develop any interesting new profitable strategies to test out?

My mid-term plan is to reach level 14 asap to get a level 3 range upgraded Pearjet for a NY - London flight.

My long-term plan is to create some wacky flight plan from LA or Buenos Aires/Lima to Tokyo, Manila or Jakarta.

I advise you to wait until level 16 and get those aeroeagles, unless you have a lot of bux. Aeroeagles have a better profit. That is what I did, I'm currently level 29 and have about 8 Aeroeagles-M. M is the best choice.

I just bought whichever airports were on the edge of my mohawk's range which lead me to buying
Wellington-Melbourne- port headland- Jakarta- Hyderabad- Kandahar- Istanbul- London- Reykjavik- Nuuk- goose bay- Chicago- saskatoon- Yellowknife- Fairbanks- nome

There are several routes you can take, that just was the most obvious one I saw at the time

Thank you! I wanted to use a tested route instead of fumbling blindly with airports.

Thanks! I'll try to keep myself from spending the bux. I'll be very hard though. Maybe 1 Pearjet Sadly I've only a few bux left because I'm buying Birchcraft-M. I use the M planes too. Works for me.
