Things to keep in mind

 * Aqua Airways airports require a high-end PC due to high polygon count in some meshes, part count and even the aircraft, especially their 777X and MD-11. It is recommended that you have a GTX 1050 Ti 4GB, paired with an i3-8100 or Ryzen 3 3200G.
 * The host can kick you after three warnings from the flight. Passengers get a warning if they do glitch, make inappropriate jokes, exploit, etc.

Classes
Primarily, classes at Aqua Airways were purchased with Robux but now uniquely they are purchased with Aqua's own currency called AquaBux (AB). 1R$ equates to 10AB. Each class has different perks and their prices are listed below:

Economy Class aka ECO

First Class aka FC
 * Free

Club Aqua aka CA
 * 2000AB (200R$) (3 months)
 * 3750AB (400R$) (6 months)
 * 7000AB (700R$) (12 months)

For some time, Aqua Airways has come under fire for outraging passengers and causing some tension between group members. Following the 6 month expirations for the First Class tickets, passengers are left confused and often angry as the expiration of the ticket seems to be hidden at the bottom of the ticket description. Recently, classes have made the switch from being bought as a t-shirt to being bought with AquaBux. The problems with expiration have been less common as a result of this.
 * 17000AB (1700R$) (6 months)
 * 33000AB (2400R$) (12 months)

Alongside this, Aqua Airways offers similar seats for both Club Aqua and First Class on some of their aircraft, same lounge access, and other similarities. Another issue that has occurred at Aqua Airways flights is the overbooking process in which Club Aqua/First Class passengers do not have seats and are forced to sit in the back of the plane which is where Economy is located.

AquaBuxs
Aqua Buxs can be redeemed for attending flights or buying them. They come in 2000 (200R$), 5000 (500R$) and 1700 (1500R$)

They can be used to buy gears like "Lunar lander, Sleeping Kit, etc." You can also purchase Piority Boarding and lounge Access. You may purchase classes for around 3, 6 and 12 months.

Trivia

 * Aqua Airways has a smaller airline group named BlueHorizon, which is also owned by aagg11, has over 1.7K members.
 * Aqua Airways initially had a class named VIP and could board before First Class, carry their friends in private flights, and had a guest in public flights if they wanted, sitting in First Class. It was removed, possibly due to low demand and high cost in Robux. VIP's price was possibly around 1,700 Robux when it existed.
 * Although at the time of its existence, it was the second highest class. Club Aqua at the time it was still named Investor and VIP still existed boarded before VIP. Club Aqua is the highest class as of 2020 and now boards before First Class instead.
 * VIP was removed around 2018.
 * Initially, Economy had to be bought to attend an Aqua Airways flight. It has been free since 2015 and was made free because many players possibly asked aagg11 many times to make Economy free.
 * Some Aqua Airways planes lack an automatic class check system, which automatically removes a player that has a class below First Class or Club Aqua automatically if they sit in a seat restricted to First Class or Club Aqua.
 * Aqua Airways has a separate fleet called Retro Fleet, which consists of airliners made in the past and obsolete ones. They lack in-flight entertainment system screens, and instead have projector screens that can be only controlled by the flight's host or co-host, which allows a short film or the Aqua Airways McDonnell Douglas MD-11ER safety video to be played on the projector screens.
 * The aircraft in the Retro Fleet are:
 * Boeing 720-023B
 * Boeing 707-320B
 * Boeing 747SP
 * McDonnell Douglas MD-11ER
 * Vickers VC10
 * Palm Key Regional Airport is the only Aqua Airways airport that is fictional. However, it could be possibly based on a small airport in the Caribbean or Key West International Airport.
 * On October 31, 2020, Adrar was renamed into Wreck of Adrar after its YouTube channel uploaded a video named E̶̡̫̳̜̝͆́̔͋̉ͅv̷̡͔̹͚͑̏̈́̐̑i̷͈͑̐̑̌̕̚l̷̥̙̩̈́͝ ̵̗̻̿͜P̶͖̪̆͊͘l̵̰̪̏a̷̛͚͈̰͚͊͂n̷͚̱̤̉́͌̎̃̆ (non-Zalgo: Evil Plan). In the video, fires are seen happening on its interior, and the interior's parts' materials turn into the material Corroded Metal. Its effects led to all flights that were being hosted at this airport after October 31 or November 1, 2020 to be canceled.
 * Their Boeing 747SP was a leaked model from the game Survive a Plane Crash. While they have an identical interior and fuselage design, different seats and liveries, the Aqua version replaced the logo of Lifeboat Airlines in the front exterior (fuselage) on all sides with "Aqua" in all caps and Ansett Australia's emblem. The cheatline has been swapped from lime to blue, which symbolizes the ocean and the sky in Aqua Airways.
 * Depending on the host's choice, Aqua Airways flies to every single destination around the world, even North Korea or Cuba.
 * Aqua Airways GC (ground crew) vehicles leaked models from Aeronus.
