It almost feels like yesterday that we celebrated AirlineSim’s 20th anniversary. But here we are: Almost half a decade has passed once again, AirlineSim will have existed for a quarter of a century
Naturally, this calls for a celebration!
So I am asking for your ideas and suggestions:
Should we finally follow through on that age-old idea of meeting up at SXM?
Where are most people willing to take a trip located these days?
How far would you be willing to travel?
What sort of accompanying program would people be interested in (aviation? beaches? nature? culture? …)
Is a physical meet-up not feasible anymore to begin with and should we focus on a digital one?
These and likely many other questions need answering. So please go ahead and share your thoughts.
Congratulations on 25 years. This game has been a massive help to me over the years, a distraction from real world issues, whilst giving me my aviation fix, so thank you.
I do have some ideas, but at work now so will post later on.
I will have a residence permit in Denmark (for Masters degree) in 2027. But I don’t know if “Schengen’s overseas colony islands” like St Maarten would be in Schengen area, which, if not, would probably be harder for me to attend in person (as a Chinese passport holder). I don’t know if my free time and money permits, either.
Probably… I will definitely come in person if the place was like, the remains of Berlin Tegel, or similar. But I don’t want to be selfish
First of all, thank you so much for the game and for involving us in the anniversary planning. I have an idea regarding the program.
I know there have already been meetings with airport tours, but since the game is called AirlineSim, I’d be interested in taking a look behind the scenes of an airline—specifically, how they plan which aircraft flies where and when, which crew is scheduled for those flights, and so on. A tour and perhaps some discussions with planners and crews—that would be really interesting to me.
I don’t work in the aviation industry, so this might be boring for insiders.
Of course, this limits our options in terms of location, since we’re restricted to the airlines’ headquarters.
It may be worth having a separate celebration for your North America-based users. I’d suggest appending it to another event that way we can take advantage of some of the existing programming, such as What You Need to Know to Attend Cranky Dorkfest – Cranky Flier which has been in LAX every year for the past few years.
What’s about a revival of our 10th anniversary? That happened on the island of Mallorca. The location is still open to business and was a nice vacation ressort.
Yes, it does. The ybuilt a larger indoor pool and wellness area, but it is still like it have been 15 years ago. Fun fact - the hotel was alos part of a movie and geographically “moved” to one of the canary islands.
