I’m looking to plan my next flight and I really want to experience some high workload and busy skies.
Which airports are currently the most crowded with players and have active IFATC (Ground/Tower/Approach) online right now?
Also, besides checking the daily ATC Schedule, what are your favorite “go-to” airports where you almost always find good traffic and active controllers?
Thanks in advance for the recommendations, and clear skies!

Note: P.S. (Quick funny story):
Right after posting my previous message, I actually found a busy airport at VTBS (Bangkok). Long story short—as traffic started building up, I made a rookie mistake on the Expert Server!
After getting my “Cleared for takeoff” from the Tower, I lined up and sent another message asking for departure direction. The controller immediately hit me with the classic “Please check help pages” instruction!
Lesson learned the hard way: once you get that takeoff clearance, just punch the TO/GA, get rolling, and keep the frequency clear. A good reminder for me to stay sharp as the skies get crowded!
