  • Mini Airways, whilst similar looking and in name to Mini Motorways, is a stress inducing game about managing air traffic!

    Not bad! I'm in love with this game. My record on this map is over 250 points, and had 37 planes in the air when I crashed (I took a screenshot and counted). The directional waypoints you wondered why you'd ever want aren't talking about the coloured destinations; they're waypoints that you get to place, so you could - for instance - set something up that would point planes to the runway at the perfect approach angle. That way you would only have to tell them to land and they'd already be lined up. I don't use those at all, but they could be good depending on playstyle.
    From my experience, one Expedite for tighter turns is plenty. It's diminishing returns after that, so better to extend the waiting area, get more exit points, and expand the map. I also love having a few holding patterns, because there's no fuel considerations in the game, so you can just put a few planes in a holding circle and they'll stay there forever, so you don't have to worry about them. I think the maximum you can fit around a single holding pattern without crashing is 4 planes, but I don't go higher than 3.

    I think the Navigation Waypoint is probably better than you think it is. It sounds like it lets you drop an additional point on the map and send the planes there after they take off, when they reach the waypoint they automatically turn in a new direction that you set.
