One compass. The whole world. You stand in one city and the ticket names another. Spin the compass toward it, lock your heading and watch your plane fly the real route across the globe. The Earth is round, so every city has two right answers: the short way along the great circle, or the long way around. Both score in full. HOW IT PLAYS • 700 levels. Each target becomes your next starting city. • Within 5° is a Perfect landing. Keep hitting to multiply your points. • Three misses end the run. Close the app any time; your run is saved. JOKERS FOR TRICKY CITIES • Call the Tower, Binoculars, Sextant and Spare Stamp. • A daily gift restocks jokers you've run out of. DAILY ROUTE AND CHALLENGES • A new daily route every day: everyone flies the same 700 cities, and your first flight is free. • Challenge friends with a link: they fly your exact route, and the route's board shows who flew it best. • Weekly and all-time Game Center leaderboards, plus achievements. AN AIRMAIL WORLD Paper maps, boarding-pass tickets, rubber stamps and a passport page for every run. Plays in English and Turkish. Passports start a run and refill over time. Miles earned in flight buy passports, unlimited play and jokers in Duty Free; miles and packs are also available as optional in-app purchases. Map data: Natural Earth (public domain). Business Class is an optional auto-renewable subscription (monthly with a free first week for new subscribers, or yearly). Payment is charged to your Apple ID; it renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period, and you can manage it in your App Store account settings.
