In Pocket Planes, a plane in an airport can choose passengers and cargo totake to other airports. For each passenger and cargo you deliver, you getpaid coins. However, it costs coins to fly the plane. This page explainsvarious strategies for making your Pocket Planes jobs profitable.

How to Take Jobs

A plane's speed is listed in miles per hour, but the 'hour' that it is referring to is actually only about 10.9 minutes in the real world. Layovers If you take a passenger or cargo to an airport other than its destination, the payment will not change from what it was when you first picked up that passenger or cargo. If you have to upgrade your plane's fuel to reach further cities, do that. But with the bigger planes I have to upgrade Carbon Fiber first because I make more per flight and that becomes really important when the next plane slot is 1.6 million away. Also you receive 500xp for every bux you deliver. The P and C versions have 17 slots for passengers or cargo, respectively, while the M version has 12 passenger seats and 5 cargo slots. Since the Cloudliner has 17 slots, a C/P can take hours to fill up. When filled up however, you can earn more than any aircraft in the game. To Tokyo, it earns 15,000-20,000 in 1 hr 12 m.

If there aren't enough jobs to fill your plane, you can still put cargo andpassengers on your plane.
