Bonus Points
How do I get more bonus points?

There are 2 ways of getting bonus points:
 * 1) Micro transactions and supporting the developer
 * 2) Flying your planes (earns very little compared to AM1)
 * 3) Loyalty Points

What do I buy with my bonus points?

The two most important things to buy with your bonus points are: Once you reach 100 aircraft you can also buy charter and cargo flights although it is not recommended you buy either of those unless you have a stable income and growth from regular passenger flights.
 * 1) International Route License
 * 2) Factory A/C License

Loyalty Points
What are loyalty points?

Loyalty points are designed to make the forum a better place.

You get 1 point for every comment you up vote and every one of you comments that are up voted.

You lose 1 point for the opposite.

Can loyalty points be converted to bonus points?

Yes.

What is the conversion rate?

I will not tell you what the conversion rate (It isn't one in the common sense anyway) as that defeats the purpose of making the board a nicer place (as per the developers' wishes). Once you acquired enough loyalty points you get bonus points.
