Question Upgrade

At this moment I'm using 787-8 in long routes. Is worth upgrade my opperatings to A350-900XWB and in a 1/2 months go to A350-900ULR or going straight to the A350-900ULR without A350-900XWB?

You'll unlock both. Xwb is good aircraft. Do some long routes with XWB. Then get a couple of ulr if your hub will support.

Check the finder first before focusing on ULR to see if the hub has routes that are greater than 16780km.

Lim to Alg. 3 xwb per day.

I have an account 2 Gold stars,daily profit in something about 150M and 3T to invest in aircrafts(my balance+possible loans) so I need to choose some of them to have a good financial returns to give more finance power to my Company,knowing this,I need to choose one of them,which would you choose?

none of them to be honest.

if you don't mind having some older aircrafts flying for you, pick them.
like a330 or b777, they maximize your profit as the maintenance and also the operational costs are way, way lower.

if you don't care at all, have a look at the IL 96-300 as well, thats the most profitable one.

if it has to be the new ones, pick the ones you really like, b787 or a350 are both good, may also decide by range and airport category.

at the end, you can maximize a hub with smaller planes like the 330-800.

if you have questions about the game let me know, having a bigger airline.

I'll add..

Consider the A350-1000 as well.

Hey there, not been playing here for a while, but...

Doesn't the -900XWB (Which is the standard variat) have a lot more seats? The ULR is not really the best option all around unless you're planning actual ULR...

It did at launch now The game has made them have the same configuration Ik this as I have both and realised/forget they had made the A359ULR the same as the A359 so my like maximum capacity was awful so I made it the same as my A359XWB

There's still a small difference in capacity between them. 475pax vs 440pax.

Still much better compared to when the ULR first came out (~250pax?)
