I saw that with my username as well. I wonder if you can change to a different username now??? It looks like its only a one-time chance to enter your username.

A question : if I have 5 jet, one delta and one turboprop (in reserve), would it be more efficient to send all jets to Sorbonne and a turboprop to Cambridge. Delta would be stored as it is a long flight with no real benefits ?

About the collections gathered by clicking on neighbors universities, i assume it's best to add friends with lots of universities and collect all to maximize the chances to complete both collections enouh times ti complete the event ?

I'd call it "Back to School 2016 again" since PC and WP players had it in March.

Longer flights have better drop rate. We don't know if it's proportional (eg 2x longel means 2x higher chance), but don't change your fleet. It may not be helpful.

Definitely. There should be thread about the event with people posting how many buildings they have. Lots means 5 buildings, because you have only 5 taps. 6 buildings of one kind is max anyway : )

Too bad I'm not upgraded, so no event for me. But the Collider seems as lame as event rewards go.

@Xilikon I started a thread just after this one, that shows people with universities to visit. Should update as more people add to the list. https://www.airportcitygame.com/threads/back-to-school-2016-players-with-university.13815/

Is there any reason to not complete this quest right away? There are no new flights or any other incentives to wait the full time limit.

I seem to recall that if you close an event, the event buildings in your City will no longer provide the drops for your neighbors who are visiting.

Have you been able to collect 3 stars on the higher level destinations? - e.g. Oxford with Falcons.

 

[LAX]

@Pakman - good point. I haven't 3 starred them yet.

 

[Xilikon]

Since those flights appear only during special events, it should be a good opportunity to collect stars.
