Question to the level 80s

[Grizzly aviator]

Hello fellow flyers. A few days past, my airport finally reached level 80. I had held it off as long as possible, but this day was inevitable. I should celebrate the success really.

Question: is there anything that I should  not do?

I upgraded my control tower and terminal. My hangar, reserve and repair base obviously on the list. I'm sat on 30 million coin waiting to be used.

but is there anything I should not upgrade or build now that I'm 80? Anything you regret doing or that would hold me back? Anything you built that is now dead space but you're stuck with?

I've seen advice against building Duty Free, for example. Anything else I should avoid?

Thoughts appreciated

Well, it's a complex question and my answer doesn't refer to the lvl 80 only.
1. I recommend not expanding your territory using greens unless there is no other option. As long as you can buy land for coins, don't waste greens, even if it's a sale.
2. Don't keep too many shops (coin-producing buildings) - it's better to build houses instead. Visa centers and Police stations are very helpful in collecting pax - they can save lots of time!

Looking at your city, I suggest that you get rid of coin-producing buildings that do nothing else (i.e., provide items, pax boost, etc). With 30 million coins, you don't need the basic coin-producing buildings. You also have enough coins to move all non-needed event coin buildings into the warehouse to save them for next time. This will provide more space for pax buildings.

One mistake I made early on was not focusing on alliance destinations (I wanted to finish the standard destinations), so now I am catching up on those -- or at least trying to (#$%^&^%#@!).

Then I would just focus on getting stars and upping your weekly pax.
My opinions, anyway
And congrats on getting to level 80! 🍻

Hi - i'll add my twopenneth!

First - land gets more expensive, don't waste greenies. Think twice before spending any, and if you do make sure you are spending wisely - i.e. on land when you can no longer buy with greenies.
Second - decide what your playing aims are. I like the city sim side, so give a lot of thought to my layout. I want to think I could live in my city - so I cluster the retail business together like a city centre, and have a business district etc. My roads all go somewhere - but thats just me, and I know it uses land.
I also like to have 1 of every building in my city - but only have more than one where it adds value. My passenger giving buildings focus mainly around 4 hour buildings as I play first thing before work, lunchtime if I can, when I get home and then bed time - and those are roughly 4 hours a part. So, I have 6 each of the buildings that best support that.
Destinations - quite agree on alliance destinations. I have 3 starred all regular destinations, and am nearly there with the excavation ones. I am not sure I will ever finish the alliance ones as once you have all the 3 stars, the prizes (special S3 planes) are no longer any use, and they need a lot of flights. The mission ones that get buildings - yes, as I want one of each building.
Space - always had a red mission up, maximises fuel from flights to help you get your 3 stars done.

So thats me!!! - let me know if you want to connect.

How can you buy land with coins ? This option is not available.

Perhaps, how can we add some irregular private jet flights?

agree with lots already said, I've sold off, stopped collecting coin buildings that don't give a benfit other that coins... getting close to the 10m to get a fuel upgrade, but don't need them elsewhere at all....

I differ from ralphy, in that my city is split between pax and coin buildings, and I group mine by when they pay out, so different row of 4h vs 6/8 hr vs 12 hr, to aid collections, with a pax bonus buildings scattered in between

do like a bit of star collecting, but also buildings that give non-space items

also there's a choice on whether you carry on with events - I only do to get the bonuses or destinations I don't have 3*s

just as it got slower as you got bigger planes, the same happens, it gets a bit slower.... I only have super condors, so mine take only 6hrs - that is a worth wile bonus, otherwise I save my greenies for land, but only if necessary - I don't have a big city, I can see it without too much moving about!

best of luck!

On of the great joys of the game, is as you look around your neighbours, there are so many different styles of play, and they all work. Great to hear how different people play.
