Our personal picks
Three hundred VAs is a lot to wade through. These are the three I keep coming back to personally, and why.
Airwego — best for flexibility and tours
Airwego has been running since 2000, which in virtual airline terms is practically geological. What keeps it interesting is that it doesn’t try to be a Delta or a Lufthansa clone. It has its own airline network, its own branded liveries, its fleet logic, and tours with routes I wouldn’t have thought to fly otherwise. The rules are minimal by design: no mandatory schedules, no landing rate tyranny, no pausing penalised. It’s structured enough to feel like a proper VA and relaxed enough that you can actually use it around real life. For simmers who want flexibility without chaos, this is the one.
UKVirtual — best for breadth
The sheer number of airlines covered here is one of their strenths. Over 240 operators, 50,000+ real-world schedules, and you can jump between them without committing to a single livery or fleet. If you want to fly a BMI regional hop one evening and a British Airways long-haul the next without logging into two different systems, UKVirtual handles it. It’s VATSIM-recognised and runs regular events. For anyone who finds single-airline VAs too narrow, this is the obvious answer. It has a strong community, too with live events and a living Discord server.
JetStream Virtual — best for schedule accuracy and scoring
JetStream pulls live schedule data from 158+ real airlines daily, which means the flight you’re operating actually exists in the real world. For some, it is a only detail, for others important: you’re not approximating a route, you’re running it. The scoring system is properly thought through: you loose score, if you forgot your landing lights or if you landing rate was too high . SimBrief integration is built in. Free to join. MSFS 2024, X-Plane 12, and P3D all supported.
Freelance Virtual — best alrounder that feels like family
A currently small, but beautiful community that almost feels like family to me. Their airline schedules are broad. They also have an ever increasing selection of aviation flights, taken from real-world routes and adventures. On the airlines front, they currently cover over 130 operators, large and small, past and present, including some of their historic fleet types. So far there’s a selection of over 137,000 individual flight legs to choose from, to over 3,700 destinations across the globe.
