I do a one-way from ATL-PEK and another one-way from MNL-PEK and assign the routes to the same tail number. The game isn't smart enough to know that the plane is not in MNL, so it perceives the two one-ways as a complete thru-flight. I have almost a dozen of these now...once I figured out how to do it it came real easy; it just takes some time on the Research Route screen and some partner hubs that are in the right places geographically. You can also do two one-way flights per aircraft as long as one of the airports involved is the same for both flights. It's a CO-style triangle routing without the short leg in between the two long ones. Example out of my route network is ATL-FCO-YYZ. That way, you command the price premium of a one-way flight vs. a roundtrip, and you hit an extra city out of the deal.

I've heard of the two authors you mention but never read anything by them. I much prefer single books that go deeply into one event, and I have a penchant for those that spawn movies, as the books are invariably better. Charlie Wilson, Black Hawk Down, and Bat 21 are all excellent examples of such. Black Hawk Down was an excellent story that unfortunately maligned some (but not many) of the facts for dramatic license. Jerry Bruckheimer admits as much in some of the DVD extras. I have not seen Charlie Wilson or Bat 21 but would like to. I'm even a fan of fictional military writing that is well-done and creates movies. Flight of the Intruder was fiction, but the book and movie are both quite good.

I suppose you're right. I'm just not used to this whole elite thing. :D It was nice that my three rooms with a king bed all got upgraded to two bedroom suites.

My 734 fleet could not be edited...I ended up dropping a route that I want to bring back. But yeah, the 734 fleet has a bug of some kind.

Anyone else notice that the 734 was severely edited too? The type that we started the game with is not available anymore, much to my chagrin.

I cannot see it because this client blocks youtube, but I do love the technology behind their site. I'm a big fan and quite happy to pay them a bit each year to host my photo collection.

Google doesn't even know what that is...

Anyone have any clue of what routing on TED between TPA-CMH rt would equal 2,822 miles? I know it involved ORD and one of the DC-area airports but I can't come up with the right total of miles to fill in the blanks for my flight memory.

In the AM Third World, RK Red is pleased to announce its first foreign hub, and 4th overall, at SXF in East Berlin. 10 routes will be offered immediately, including a hop over the Berlin Wall to TXL. ;)

Hahaha... This single F28-2000 is pulling in >600,000 of daily "profit"!

Nope, not DEN. I know i went from TPA to CMH because i always used to fly between the two to see an ex. I pricelined it and i got lucky and it gave me united miles too - so i have the number of miles in my UA account. The miles are listed as expired and i cant pull up the flight info.

I know i stopped in ORD because i remember going through the tunnel.
