If you’re like me, you’ve become addicted to NimbleBit’s latest hit, Pocket Planes. Like NimbleBit’s other smash hit, Tiny Tower, this game quickly grows on you.

The P and C versions have 17 slots for passengers or cargo, respectively, while the M version has 12 passenger seats and 5 cargo slots. Since the Cloudliner has 17 slots, a C/P can take hours to fill up. When filled up however, you can earn more than any aircraft in the game. To Tokyo, it earns 15,000-20,000 in 1 hr 12 m. By the time you exchange 1000-2000 Bux, each of your Bux is worth 1000-1500 coins for total payoff of 1M-3M coins. When plane slots and airport upgrades start getting expensive, you might want to save up for a bit and exchange many thousands of Bux and perhaps acquire all the coins you might need for the investments you want to make. The market price difference between buying parts and a full plane is too severe and needs to be adjusted. Buying planes shouldn't require an empty plane slot. It was mentioned before that Pocket Planes seems to have a lower player count than Nimblebit's other games.

It’s an exhausting job, so some planes, like Boeing 777 and 787 planes, have secret passageways that let staff can get some decent shut-eye, according to Insider. A locked door near the front of. First, gain a level so that you unlock a new airport, or close an airport that has no planes in it so that you have one airport slot unlocked. Now, go buy a whole different airport. Each time that you buy a brand new airport, you will get a free airplane part to go with it.

If you’re looking to grow your airline quickly, there are some very basic things you can do to help maximize your profits.

Choosing Your Destination

Common sense would suggest that the best way to make more coins would be to accept the flights at further distances that pay more per cargo slot. However, this is not always the case. If you are looking to earn the most coins in the shortest amount of time, then you should be looking at your total profit per minute. However, if you are more of a casual gamer, take the longer flights with higher payouts. Since I play frequently, and am looking to expand as quickly as possible, I prefer watching my profit per hour.

My preferred strategy is maximizing my profit per hour. This gives me the most coins over a short period of time.

Compare your destinations by selecting the cargo you wish to transport, and the ending city. The map will display the total amount earned for the flight if you choose to accept. Clicking the red X button will allow you to cancel the flight and try another destination. In most cases you can do some basic math to compare the total profit per minute. Choose the destination that will allow your plane to make the most money per minute, and ultimately the most flights per hour.

By now you have likely noticed that flying your plane to a single destination at full capacity results in a 25% profit increase. This is really a no-brainer. Take the free coins!

Be patient! You may have to wait until the next job cycle becomes available, but the 25% freebie is worth it. Jobs refresh every 5 minutes, so do some route planning or check on your other planes while you wait.
