Just wanted to know how people that start to play AM chose their first base. Thanks.

When I started I picked Hanover, Germany which is the closest airport to the place I live.

My first ever base was in Exeter, it was chistmas eve 2006 when I found the site and set up near to my home. In my first game I set up hubs in Exeter, London Heathrow, Oslo, Isles of Scilly, Isle of Man, Paris CDG, Ankara, Munich, Valladolid and Venice Treviso.

My first base was Bastia as i were born there and lived there for 6 years and its one of my favorite towns.

I actually wanted to go close to where i am now and i slipped into the wrong line and landed somewhere in Russia, didn't have a clue where i was, but it wasn't a bad choice really.

Rome FCO due to pax data. Gates were down to 0 though.

MXP has been a base of mine in all 3 rounds I've played.

I started in Wellington NZ as it's my home airport. You can't expand as fast there because not as many detinations. Current base: Chicago Midway. Suggested by friend.
