Tours
Ready-made chains of flights with a reward at the end
A tour is a pre-built chain of legs — a loop around the Russian Far East, say, or a run along the Volga. It doesn't replace normal flights but sits on top of them: the flights still earn their usual money and XP, and the tour adds a goal and a reward at the end of the road.
How it works
- 1Enrol in a tourThe tour page lists every leg: departure, arrival, and whether a particular aircraft type is required. You can be enrolled in several tours at once — they run in parallel.
- 2Fly them in orderLegs are credited strictly in sequence: until the first one is done, the second won't count even if you have already flown it.
- 3A flight report closes the legThe counter moves on its own as soon as a report is accepted for a flight with the same departure and arrival airports. If the leg calls for a particular type, the flight has to be flown on it.
- 4See it throughThe reward is paid for the tour as a whole: money to your personal account, XP, and the tour badge on your profile. Individual legs pay nothing.
Only regular airline flights count: a free flight passes the tour by, because it files no flight report. You can abandon a tour at any time, but the progress resets — re-enrolling puts you back on leg one.
The point of tours is simple: they give you a reason to fly somewhere you would never have picked yourself, and they knock out the new-airport and new-type awards along the way.
