Limit on Flights?

Is there a limit on the number of flights you can do in a day? It's only showing that I can send 2 people and I currently have no one on any flights. I didn't count how many I've done today because I've not run into this problem yet. Usually, 5 different people/locations come up for assignment when no one is on flights.
Thanks in advance for your help!

    Send one of those two people on a short task with other characters free to take up the slots. That should reshuffle your flight list and give you 5 new options.
  • Thx for the suggestion. There must be a limit because when everything reset last night, I had 5 new people/locations available. Just kinda freaked out because I hadn't reached the maximum number of flights up to this point so I didn't know what was going on! I didn't want any problems since we start Part 3 in just a couple of days.

    If you have 5 waiting to go flying, send 3 on flights, and send one of the other 2 remaining on a regular task. That will give you 5 new people who can go flying. They have to bee free though (not on tasks). I keep half of my characters free in this event, just because of this.
    There is maybe a limit, but I have had close to 20 people flying at one time.
  • There was a flight limit reached by someone here near the start of the event - it was a lot - something like 60ish simultaneous flights. I think it's more likely you didn't tap things in the right order for your Springfielders to be eligible to fly. Also if you have an outstanding task to send Springfielders on other jobs (highlighted in yellow) then I think that can also prevent them from flying.

    I've been able to keep 12-18 flights going like this all day.
    Whoa, whoa, whoa – I only accept cash, bitcoin, or GameStop stock.

    Now, that is impressive!

    Yes, that was possible when you got a new ticket every 2 minutes. Now when it takes 20 minutes, I think the most you can have is 20-ish. If you are really active. Usually I have around 10-12. As I write I have 14, but Im off work today, and have time for it.
  • How do I get more people tho? I have 5 characters on flights now & 2 tickets but no options for more flights. I'm gonna lose out on the final prize ☹️
  • When Norbert's next task pops up (or all your flights return if you're done with the tasks for the day) make sure you never send the last flyer on the list. Instead, while you have other "Springfielders" free, send that last flyer on a task and you should get a refreshed flight list with five new characters.
  • I've got extra fliers during the day, but never put 2 & 2 together as to what triggered it. Thanks.
  • The official limit is 68 as that's the number of locations, however I doubt you will get there due to taking 20 minutes for each new ticket to generate.

    This is right - never send your last flyer listed out on a flight. When you are down to one, make sure you have free characters, then pull that last flyer out (you can store them, or put them on task). If you do send your last flyer, then you will have to wait until your next Norbert Task comes up, and that could be 4 hours or the next game day.
    I like routine!
