Welcome to AM!

I started playing a few months ago and got loads of good advise which I am happy to share with you.

First of all, start with an airport that's got a pax of 20,000,000+. I have never been based in airports with lower pax than that.
Secondly, plan your routes properly and use the correct aircraft or you could lose out on profit
Thirdly, never purchase an aircraft over €200,000,000! The maintenance costs are ridiculous and profit, if any, will be very low
Alot of people will not agree on my fourth point, but its been working for me - never create flights with a higher frequency than 1, at least for the first while...

I have been following these guidelines and have ended up in the Top 10 airlines in each of the worlds I have been playing in. Just give me a shout if you need help. I will be happy to assist you!

Honestly, no one will ever be able to give you a right answer. It's all up to what you want out of the game.

Email us at  :staff: and ask for a reset.  Your account will be set back to the default starting cash and aircraft for that world.

Another question, how can you check a journey length and how busy an airport is without it costing you money??

You can use this tool called "Research Route" here is the link you would use once your logged in. 

http://www.airlinemogul.com/airlinemogul/research_route.php

It tells you the distance of the flight, any competition that is already present on that flight, and what aircraft are currently available that can fly the route.

What happens when a public world comes to the end of its life, do you get to keep the money and planes purchased or do you just start again??
