How to get the most from it

Airline Manager sits in Tycoon Sims under Play, filed as rabbit hole.

  • Open it when the evening is free. It has no natural stopping point.
  • It works on a phone or a desktop, so open it on whatever is nearest.
  • It works with the sound off, so it is fine on a train or in a quiet office.
  • Expect to create an account before you get far.
  • Go in expecting something brainy and competitive.
