Hello. I'm new in here. May I ask, which types of planes such as M, C or P is better??

I believe that choice is more about personal preference. I chose M planes but two of my M planes is just the same as two paired planes, one p and one c. I just feel like M's allow me more freedom building my airline and I don't worry about if I have my p's and c's balanced.

If there is a benefit, I'm not aware of it. I guess there is an argument that maybe having p & c is more versatile for global events like Kinshasa at the moment which only has passengers considered for the goal. But I was in the top twenty of this competition while I was haphazardly delivering jobs with all my M planes.

I have planes going in between new York-Chicago, Buenos Aires-Rio de Janeiro, and London-Paris giving each other layovers for Kinshasa. I have about 7 other planes flying around Europe and sometimes Asia waiting and picking up jobs. I have a Pearjet-P and a Aeroeagle-P that goes to the layover cities and picks up tons of Kinshasa jobs. I have some Aeroeagle-Ms that go to London and Paris where there are some layover cargo for Kinshasa.

I started an advertising campaign in Kinshasa, so far so good. Being in the position I am in is great for what I got on the past, but I still want to rank higher.

On another note, I think the next event is going to be a class 1 airport in the Finland, Sweden area, in somewhere like Cancun (Mexico), or maybe a small airport in Asia. But my biggest guesses are the first two.

(I miss this thread. Lighting struck near my house and fried my Internet so...)

I also had a weird dream. NimbleBit did an event in Paris called "Fancy Dinner". Prizes were a Concorde, Concorde+100 bux, free effect, and free effect+10 bux. I dont if Im playing this game too much, too little, Im crzy, or I can see the future. Opinions on this...?

The event in Kinshasa is a medical conference, and that event doesn't have any cargo that counts as jobs for the flight crew.

There are lots of outgoing cargo like medical devices and medical supplies. They don't count as flight crew jobs though.

I would love it if they'd have the next event in Paris and if the prize would be the Concorde!

I've been wanting a Paris event for a long time, It would be great to have one (especially with a Concorde) but I think it will be a class one airport next time.

That's exactly how I would play it (pairs of nearby airports stocking up on layovers) if I had the time to manage punting planes back and forth all day. Not having as much time to devote toward this, I decided to go the slow and less optimized route which takes my planes anywhere from 1/2 hour to 1 1/2 hour to reach their destination. Then I don't have to check in as frequently.

I wouldn't mind the next event taking place at a Class 1 airport ... then I can put my blimps back in flight and really take my time with the event.
My blimps couldn't reach Kinshasa from London/Paris.

I really wish I grabbed some mystery parts from the London event, but at that time I was all class 1 planes except for 3 Birchcrafts, so I didn't get enough jobs for mystery parts (300 jobs.) I also didn't know there were mystery parts until I got one and got a blimp engine (that's all I got ) Hopefully there is some plane as the reward for winning next event.

I'm getting closer to level 20 (1/5 through level 19), so I'm wondering if I should go for a Fogbuster or two until I get Seqouias or just skip the Fogbusters?

My airline looks like this:

12 plane slots,

2 Mohawks (1 P, 1 C, for class one events)
4 Birchcrafts (2 P, 2 M)
1 Equinox (P)
1 Blimp
1 Pearjet (P)
3 Aeroeagles (1 P, 2 M)

I also have somewhere around 150 bux

IMO, wait for sequoias-m.

Yea I agree with Klodi13, save up for seq's and more plane slots
