This expansion pack introduces five more modules to make the base game even more thrilling. First up, Jumbo Jets cost double but pack a punch: they kick off any planes already on a link, refunding the money (split between players or paid entirely by the jumbo user?) to others. The best part? You don't remove the jumbo when claiming a flight, and other players can use your route by paying you a fee. City Bonuses enter the scene to add extra oomph. Each city starts with a bonus ring that you can collect when linking to (or through) those cities. These bonuses can be immediately spent on special tiles. Hotels require some planning: you draft up to 4 Hotel cards at the start, and to build one, you discard a Flight card. Each hotel begins with one resident and gains more depending on markers on the Flight card and any Flight cards you still hold depicting that city. Each resident grants more income and points at the end! Finally, Charter Flights bring a new challenge. Each charter plane (black or white) has a set destination. If you can trace the complete route from the plane's current city to the destination, you earn a cash reward that increases with distance. Then, simply draw a new destination for that plane. And of course, more Long, Short, and Final Flight cards (easier and harder ones) to ensure the fun never stops. This expansion is for those who already enjoy Jet Set and want more strategy and options to dominate the skies! ## FAQ ### Does this expansion work on its own, or do I need the 'Jet Set: Jumbo Jets' base game?
