Top 10 Best Cities in Pocket Planes
What makes a city 'the best' in Pocket Planes? A cocktail of factors like the number of jobs, population, and location all play an important role. High-population cities like New York, London, and Tokyo tend to have more jobs available, while strategically located cities such as Istanbul can be your gateway between Europe and Asia.But hang on, there's a twist. What works for others might not work for you, as your strategy is likely shaped by your available aircraft, level, and the regions you've unlocked. Maybe you're all about hauling loads of people and cargo across continents with Sequoias, or perhaps you prefer zipping between close-knit cities with Equinoxes. The dynamic nature of the game, shaped by individual players' preferences and strategies, is what makes it so compelling.
Now, as the saying goes, 'one man's meat is another man's poison.' That's why it's so fascinating to see the cities others deem the best.
