The information displayed in this user guide is for those of you who are more experienced, who have been playing for quite some time and have reached a high level with your game, and are now planning on flying Excavation Map and Adventure Map flights.
For those of you who are in the early stages of your game development, you will still find this user guide useful, because it will allow you to look ahead, help you to understand what you will need to do, to prepare for these types of map flights. As to when will be the right time to start flying excavation and adventure maps, this is not such a straight forward question to answer, it will depend very much on the player. There will be many game factors which will come into play, which you will need to consider.
When you first start playing your game, you will have plenty to think about and to deal with, setting up your game site, purchasing your buildings and upgrading them, purchasing your terminal sections, purchasing your boarding bridges, purchasing your parking lots and your planes, ensuring you have sufficent fuel and passengers for flights, collecting flights items, undertaking standard flight destinations, gifting to your neighbours, visiting your neighbours game sites, setting up your space program and undertaking launch flights, collecting QL bonuses, setting up your helicopter base and undertaking flights, undertaking weather station flights, alliance weekly mission flights and take part in special events throughout the year.
When you take all these aspects into consideration, you can understand why it would perhaps be best to leave excavation and adventure map flights to much later on in your game, when you are far better established. There are so many different aspects to the game of airport city which you could focus on, it will be important you do not overreach and/or overload yourself with too much. Time and patience is the key to the game of Airport City, without it you will not get very far or last very long.
PURCHASING THE AIRSHIP DOCK BUILDING
Once you have made the decision to undertake these types of map flights, you will need to purchase the Airship Dock, which will become available from Game Level 10. It will cost you 3,000 Gold Coins to purchase the building and will have a construction period of 1 hour (you will also have the option to speed up the construction of the building for 1 green note). You will only be able to position the Airship Dock on the airport side of your game, adjacent to a road. You will also need to complete the Sky Fair side bar mission, there will be a small series of eight tasks to complete. Some of the tasks will reward you with small amount of gold coins and experience points.
You will also need to obtain the following eight upgrade building gift items, so you can make the building solid and live, and complete the process. They can all be gifted by your neighbours and some can be received from flight drops. This process should not take too long, once you have indicated in your signature page, your gift need requirements from your neighbours. It will be a good idea to start collecting the gift items and have them in place, before you need to use them, this will save you time in the long run:
THE AIRSHIP STORE MENU AND THE IN-GAME STORE MENU
There will be two options available to you to purchase maps, one will be through the Airship Store Menu and the other will be through the Game Store Menu. The main difference between these two is that the airship store will only be available twice a week, on Monday's and Thursday's, whereas the game store will always be available to you during game play. There will also be a third option, during Discount Super Sales, but this will often be infrequent, since the items offered for sale will change, each time the discount super sales become available to players.
THE AIRSHIP STORE MENU
Once the building is solid and live, the airship will then be able to dock with the tower, and you will have access to the menu, by clicking on the airship icon, located on the left hand side of your game screen. You will also be able to access the menu by clicking on the airship dock. The airship will appear twice a week and will remain docked for a full day, during each visit. When the airship is not available, you will be able to click on the airship dock, which will display the time counter, letting you know when the airship is due next.
Once the menu is open you will see five clickable tabs, labelled Adventure, Resources, Bonuses, Space and Resources. You will need to select the 1st tab, labelled Adventure, to access all of the maps for sale. This tab will display a mixer of single maps and map sets.
The remaining four tabs will offer you other items for sale e.g. fuel, passengers, tourist, mystery buildings, bonus items, mystery bonus and space program resources, many of these items will come at a heavy price. The decision to purchase these items is not something you should rush into, many of them can be obtained for free through game play, but it will take time and patience to do so.
EXCAVATION MAPS AND ADVENTURE MAPS
There are 96 map flight destinations to choose from, it will be best to approach these types of flights in a systematic manner, by flying your first plane and completing all the destination flights, collecting all the rewards of coins, experience points, stars and chests, before you move on to your next destination. You will be able to access the excavation and adventure maps through the flights menu adventure section, from within your game.
THE AIRSHIP STORE MENU - PURCHASING ADVENTURE MAPS

To undertake these types of flights, you will need a broad spectrum of planes in your fleet, Owl, Hawk, Raven, Eagle, Jumbo, Giant, Falcon, Thunderbird and Condor. These standard planes can all be purchased with gold coins from the game store.
Please Note - the S1 and S2 class type planes can only be purchased with silver tokens and gold tokens. The S3 class type planes can not be purchased with coins, silver tokens and gold tokens. They can only be obtained through the completion of flight collections, you will need to complete a flight collection 6 times to be rewarded with a plane.
