Thanks for your post, although it's discouraging... but I guess I kind of expected that with my experience so far.  But I kept hoping.

I am curious about something you mentioned... "that to get the flight items for one destination involves flying to the destination before it first." ... I found the guide before even posting anything here, and also read many other posts as well, and didn't see anything about that anywhere... can you please explain what you mean by this?  Are you talking about items to build things like the Fuel Station?  The items for that, I need to fly to Goa... but I've completed hundreds & hundreds of flights to Goa, and gotten none of the parts I need.  And adding new friends wouldn't really help for these items, as they aren't giftable either.  But are you saying I have to do a flight to Bali first, THEN Goa, and I'll get the part easier?  That's confusing because I also need parts for Flight School... which is Malta.  Yet I've flown Goa and then Malta, and still didn't get any parts I needed.  Also for the tower, I need parts from Bali, and there is no flight "before" it, so I think I misunderstood that part.  So are the parts this hard to get?  Does it really take days/weeks to get each part?

I keep hoping it will get better... but I'm getting pretty discouraged... almost 4 days of non-stop playing and no progress... TONS of flights for parts that I don't get, I already have 2 or 3 stars on Bali, Goa & Malta, yet I can't get the parts I need, so I guess the stars don't help that.  I didn't even see the stars at first, but even after I did, they don't seem to be helping with this need.  So it's just frustrating, as I am pretty much "stuck"... I can't expand, I can't add planes/flights, I can't add houses or businesses... and at the moment, it feels as though I'll be stuck in this groove for weeks at least... that's what I mean by too slow or difficult so early on, because I literally can't do anything except fly planes out & accept them in... nothing else, I can't add anything, upgrade or build anything, complete any tasks, etc.  I feel like I am playing & playing, but getting nowhere, no progress, my coins don't even seem to be building up... so again, no progress.  I don't get how people do this... unless they spend a bunch of real money I guess, which I am unwilling to do this early.  So unless something changes and some progress is made soon, I fear you may be right about it not meeting my expectations.
