Could an airport ticket be used to allow players plant turf in their nearest open airport - so say the nearest is 500 miles from their location - that they can use the ticket to plant turf there - that way rather than an endless list of requests for more airports - there would only have to be a few per landmass

It's a gps game. If you want turf at an airport go there. We have a nice bypass and yet its never enough

How would a plane ticket let you do that? New loot, taxi? No.

I wouldn't call airports a bypass - they are part of the game that is currently being rolled out - however its not clear at this point whether all 50,000 odd airports worldwide are going to be enabled gradually - or whether at some point all airports are going to be turned on at once - or indeed whether at some point the list will just stop.

At the moment there's a lot of players beside airports that aren't turned on - and there's a lot of people that can't hop to the active airports - I think it makes sense that an airport ticket could be used to create turf at the airport nearest their gps location. This makes it more a GPS game and less a hopping game in my opinion.
One or two airports per landmass and a gps based way of getting to that airport makes more sense to me than having an arbitrary list of airports being added with every upgrade.

Simple - you take the your current gps location - hit use plane ticket - and it gives you the same options to plant turf as using plane ticket from an airport - but only for the airport nearest your gps location. This would use the plane ticket - so you would have to wait another week to jump from that airport to somewhere else.
Take an Irish example - you have someone in the Aran Islands - they can use their plane ticket to create turf at their nearest airport (Belfast). The next week they use their plane ticket from Belfast. It will be a while before the airport on the Aran islands is turned on - and at least they can use their plane ticket in the meanwhile - even if it does take two uses to go anywhere meaningful.
Otherwise its just going to be people asking for more and more airports - and to be honest - who decides whether the airport on the Aran islands is more important than Belfast airport.

Because the US is full of lazy pieces of shit. Don't wanna hop 100 miles to an airport? Guess what? WE JUST OPENED ONE IN YOUR FUCKIN BACKYARD!1!1!1!

There's a lot of people too lazy to hop to their nearest airport, I'm not sure about unable to.

So far airport tickets seem like a tool to let stronger players gobble up more turfs. I keep looking around for an airport that doesn't have a ton of "Godfathers". I place my turf near groupings of players that don't have the strength to cap me. Three times in less than 48 hours a stronger player has moved in and capped my turf and most others around it.

Yeah, that's the game ... it's just a little frustrating.

It creates a bottle neck so I guess that's what's will happen
