AirParcel: Letters by Air

AirParcel is mail that has to fly.

You write to someone, you choose an aircraft, and it leaves your airport for theirs. Then you wait. A prop from London to Paris is a short hop. The same prop to Sydney is most of a day. Nothing arrives instantly, because nothing that actually crosses an ocean arrives instantly.

That waiting is the whole point. A message you cannot take back for six hours is a message you write differently.

WHAT YOU SEND
Letters. Photographs. Voice notes. Documents. All of it goes in the hold, all of it lands together, and none of it is readable until the aircraft is down and the recipient opens it.

A CORRESPONDENCE, NOT A FEED
Everything you and one person have sent each other sits in one place, in order, the way a bundle of letters does. You can see what is still in the air. You can answer without leaving the page.

YOUR FLEET
You start with a Courier Prop: slow, small, and the cheapest to fly, at half a Fuel an hour. Deliver enough and the Regional Freighter and the Heavy Lifter are yours. The Jet Freighter and the Falcon Express unlock with Fuel. Every flight burns Fuel by the hour and faster aircraft burn more; the Courier Prop always remains, at the lowest rate.

3,244 AIRPORTS, 233 COUNTRIES
Choose the airport you fly from. Turn the globe, find the field you grew up near, and make that your home.

ANSWERING IS FREE
Fuel buys speed and capacity, never the right to reply. When somebody writes to you for the first time, your first answer to them costs nothing on the Courier Prop, so a conversation can always be started and always be finished.

Your first letter to Ground Control is free, and its reply brings you 50 Fuel. You can buy more if you want to fly faster and carry heavier, and you never have to.

SAFETY
Letters are private to the two people in them. Report and block are on every correspondence, attachments are screened before they are delivered, and a reported parcel can be held on the ground rather than delivered. AirParcel is for people 13 and over.

Write to someone properly. Let it fly.
