| Q. What about friends? | You won't get far without friends in the game. Look for friends by posting in the General Discussion area here. https://www.airportcitygame.com/forums/airport-city-discussion.34/ There is a guide on the types of friends you should look for https://www.airportcitygame.com/threads/getting-friends.39730/. | |||
| Q. What about visiting neighbors? | When you visit a neighbor, you can tap up to 5 buildings or entities in the city (6 if your platform supports a free tap after watching a video). By doing this, you can collect fuel, coins, passengers and collectible items. Visiting neighbors is tied to reputation. The more neighbors you visit, the more reputation points you get and the more neighbors you can ultimately visit (to a maximum of 12). You can find information on reputation, the number of neighbors you can visit, and the number of gifts you can send here. https://www.airportcitygame.com/wiki/reputation_level/ Find out more about neighbors and visiting here https://www.airportcitygame.com/threads/all-about-reputation.42375/ | |||
| Q. What about gifts? | You can (and should) send gifts daily. It increases your chances of receiving gifts daily. The amount of gifts you can send daily is determined by your reputation level which can be increased by visiting neighbours and tapping on items in their cities daily. Here is a link to the wiki that shows reputation/gifts/visits https://www.airportcitygame.com/wiki/reputation_level/ Read this guide https://www.airportcitygame.com/threads/new-user-guide-to-gifting.31794/ | |||
| Q. How do I get more fuel? | Here is a post about fuel https://www.airportcitygame.com/threads/all-about-fuel-for-planes.33542/ | |||
| Q. Progress is slow. How do I get things purchased/upgraded faster? | This is a game for the long haul. Some people in this forum have been playing the game for 10+ years. There are things in the game to challenge you at every level. No matter how quickly you want to get stuff upgraded, avoid purchasing coins with real money. Some of the most expensive upgrades would cost you $500 in real dollars In the early stages of the game, the majority of your coins will come from collections, but there are strategies to maximize coin generation. You can find those here https://www.airportcitygame.com/threads/starting-fast-gathering-coins.30564/ | |||
| Q. Things are expensive. Do they go on sale? | Yes, there are regular sales in the game
| |||
| Q. What do those letters mean in my friends' names? | We have our own communication method to easily tell friends what we need even if English is not your native language. There is a list of acronyms here https://www.airportcitygame.com/threads/ac-shortcut-items-with-multi-language-descriptions.21637/ | |||
| Q. What about alliances? | Alliances are groups of flyers working towards common goals. Alliances may be working on task completion to earn bonuses that will last a week. These are great bonuses that can help you progress in the game faster. They include bonuses that increase experience earned, increase coin generation, reduce breakdown of planes or increase the duration of bonuses. Not everyone cares about bonuses. Long-time players have passed the need to generate coins or they have lots of spare parts in their warehouse. Many of these players don't care about completing tasks but they do care about alliance rankings which requires flying lots and lots of passengers. For these reasons, it's important to find an alliance and players that have the same goals you do - and in the early stages of the game, that goal is probably generating more coins. Watch for posts looking for new alliance members - or post here to find an alliance that aligns with your goals https://www.airportcitygame.com/forums/alliance-questions.53/ There is also a section in the wiki that has information on alliances https://www.airportcitygame.com/wiki/alliance_info/ | |||
| Q. What about alliance destinations? | You will not be able to fly to alliance destinations unless you are part of an alliance. You can join one (see previous question) or create your own. Some people feel that an alliance of one makes it easier to get exactly the weekly bonus you want. Alliance missions could be to standard destinations or to special alliance-only destinations. Since you have no control over which alliance destination you are assigned, try fly to the special alliance destinations as much as possible, especially in the beginning stages while you have a fleet of small planes. At some point there are two things you will want from these destinations:

| Q. What are bonuses? | Bonuses can be used for many things: to speed up flights; to earn more coins; to increase passenger production; to increase the chances of having items drop; to reducing the likelihood of a plane breaking down, etc. Many bonuses can be purchased with green dollars, but some can also be earned for free through regular game play. https://www.airportcitygame.com/threads/obtaining-bonuses-through-regular-free-gameplay.39355/ A full list of bonuses is available in the wiki https://www.airportcitygame.com/wiki/bonuses/ | |||

| Q. What are liveries? | Liveries are special paint jobs you can apply to your planes. Some make the planes faster, some increase profits from flights, and some increase the drop rate from planes. Still others are available to just make them less boring but have no other benefit. The wiki contains a list of all the liveries in the game https://www.airportcitygame.com/wiki/liveries/ Here is a guide on using liveries. https://www.airportcitygame.com/threads/using-liveries.46043/ | |||
| Q,. How are alliance tasks determined? | Every week, you are assigned 3 different alliance destinations. Which destinations and tasks you are assigned is based on your fleet. You can find more information here https://www.airportcitygame.com/wiki/alliance_tasks/ | |||
| Q. What are Visa Centers, Pawn Shops and Bank Branches and are they worth it? | These buildings automatically collect from passenger buildings, commercial buildings or collectible buildings. In the short term, it seems like buildings that collect coins for you would be the most beneficial. But a dedicated player will relatively quickly get to a point where there is nothing else to spend coins on. So the value of the bank branch is temporary. But passengers - this is something you will want more and more of throughout the game. The Visa Centers are a great purchase once the time comes. There is a thread here on using them https://www.airportcitygame.com/threads/using-visa-centers-and-pawn-shops-and-bank-branches.46901/. |
