Like the fact you can build a bathroom without walls in the middle of the airport terminal and it works.

SUMMARY
Airport CEO is highly recommended especially if you are willing to put time into learning its complex systems (including troubleshooting errors). It is a rewarding and visually appealing builder/manager. The manager sections add more details and settings to remember to check while building an airport.


COMPARING Airport CEO with SimAirport.
Airport CEO has many more layers of complexity than SA. As a novice to airport constructing, beginning with SimAirport has proven to be a helpful way to get started in Airport CEO.
Unlike SimAirport, Airport CEO is more than a basic airport builder and features many more realistic looking animations of both the people doing their jobs to the airport operations.


BUSINESS MANAGER
The game also involves hiring staff, signing contracts and running a business. At first I thought this was going to be a distraction to constructing an airport but it has proven to be one of the games greatest strengths and reasons to buy.


BUGS OR USER ERROR?
Sometimes things don't work as you think they should and you're not sure if it's a bug or user error. For example, I place down 8-10 General Aviation stands and connect them together and to the runway.
However, all but one stand reports it is functional. This has happened on more than occasion. Restarting the computer will remedy this situation and possibly others like it.


PATH FINDING AND ZONING
At other times passengers and employees might report not being able to get across zones or to a particular area. I found that making sure there are doors in the walls before zoning can fix the zone issue. Placing sidewalks for people to walk on also helps. The game also features an in-game pathfinding and troubleshooting tool which prove to be highly useful.


GRAPHICS AND ANIMATIONS
There are many detailed animations and the graphics are of wonderful quality.


RECOMMENDED ON SALE
In general this game involves a lot of trial and error and attention to detail. Following the tutorial can be highly useful at first. Overall I highly recommend Airport CEO and it's DLC on sale.
