It’s a simple question, with thousands of answers.
What makes the perfect flight for you?
Whether it’s a route, aircraft, time, place, landing, what’s the bread and butter for a great flight?
The perfect flight for me is simply a calm departure from KLAX in an Emirates B777, en route to OMDB.
Of course, a smooth cruise, buttery -100ish landing, and a peaceful taxi to our gate.
That’s my take on this Q, what makes the perfect flight for you?
Unfortunately I play on a samsung note 10 with exynos chip so the perfect flight for me is any one that doesn’t crash my phone before I land 🤣😂🤣
Probably for me it has to be realistic procedures! Mainly in the holidays i try and replicate real world operations. Not to say i don’t fly realistically every time i fly. The only difference is in the holidays ive got up super early to replicate real flights I’ve been on such as Luton to Alicante. So i woke up at 4am, spent a hour and a half planning and briefing for the flight, then i got into the cockpit about a hour before departure and started setting everything up loading Pax and cargo for the 2 hour flight down to ALC which departs at 6:30 am!
A perfect flight for me would be the whole transaction from perfect take off, climb, cruise, descent and landing all very very smooth including interaction with active ATC!
I have undertaken thousands of online flights now and I only can count maybe less than 50 who I feel apply the above. This involve the realistic procedures, not anything excessive.

Dedication? 100.
Realism? 100.
Sleep? 0.
Hotel? Trivago.
Realism at it’s finest, no crosswinds, no turbulence, just a calm, smooth flight.
That’s more like it! 😎
Hotel: Mi Casa
On occasions when there’s winds involved whether it’s take off or landing, it just went perfectly well throughout the flight even its bumpy! But its rare I have to say
Aircraft is really all that matters with me. My prefence would definitely be a real world route, but if the route does not exist I will usually still fly it if I really like it.
Regarding the aircraft, my preference is ALWAYS a reworked aircraft. I prefer Boeing aircraft to Airbus, so most of the time I fly around in the 737 family, since I prefer short haul routes.
I hardly ever fly out of the Europe region, I don’t know why, but I like to stick to Europe, especially the UK, Ireland and The Netherlands, take a look at my route map:
So the perfect flight for me will be
A scenic flight that fits my schedule, with an aircraft I like to fly.
No Emirates A380 :)
being handled by good ATC, not missing TOD (may happen when I do a long haul while sleeping) and having a good landing
I 100% agree! (except the EU region)
Keyword: Scenic!
Scenic is my preference for every flight!
Nice preference, I just happen to like the reworked B777 more.
(if you’re saying they don’t use the B777, I just searched it up, they use it along with the A380!)
The jewel of realism! Imagine have an FNF without IFATC!
The best landing in an MD11
Coffee, realism, and ATC 😉
Group flight with others
The OG bird!
Bingo, 10 outta 10, perfectly concise.
Especially the coffee!
The more the merrier!
Any flight is a perfect one, wdym? lol
the most realism is leaving the AP in charge of the flight for 10+ hours on cruise without anyone monitoring the flight < I mean I am sure technology will get there at some point its just that we do it much earlier in IF 👌
Ofc it’s the OG, I love the MD11
