A Long Flight Abandoned Locations: Sites, Routes and Loot

Quick answer

A Long Flight scatters abandoned places across its desert world — buildings, houses, gas stations, a hangar, a small airport, rusty cars and broken-down planes. Fly along a road following the radar, land next to a structure, stop the engine, clear the zombies guarding it, then loot fast, because the zombies respawn over time.

• Gas stations: kerosene canisters (plane fuel), water bottles and food or stamina items
• Buildings and houses: medicine, bandages, a weapon, a med kit, pilot rations, flashlights, drinks, food and soda, an EFT key and a ticket
• Hangars and workshop buildings: a pump, spare wheels, a tool box, kerosene, auto oil and an aircraft battery
• Loot what you can and move on — zombies respawn, some containers sit behind locks and not every find pays out

A Long Flight's official description tells you to search abandoned locations for useful supplies — and landing at these forgotten desert places is how you restock. Kerosene, water and food all turn up in their loot.

What abandoned places exist

The world is a desert crossed by roads, and the forgotten places line those roads. Fly along them and you will come across standalone buildings and houses, gas stations, a hangar, a small airport, rusty cars and broken-down planes. The sites turn up one after another as you follow a road, and you can run into the small airport mid-flight just by keeping to the road and the radar.

How to reach a site and loot it

Every abandoned site works the same way: you find it from the air and clear it on foot.

Checklist

• Fly along a road and follow the radar

  Abandoned buildings, houses and gas stations line the desert roads; following the road by radar is how you run into them.

• Land as close to the structure as you safely can

  Landing quality matters — a rough landing can tear a wing off and force repairs on site while zombies respawn around you.

• Stop the engine before you walk in

  The routine at each stop: land, shut the engine down, then go in on foot.

• Kill the zombies guarding the site

  Abandoned places are guarded, and the area needs to be clear before you can loot in peace.

• Loot quickly and take off

  Zombies respawn over time, sometimes while you are still at the site, so a quick in-and-out beats lingering.

If a hard landing does knock your plane apart, the parts can be reattached on the spot — carry each one back to its blueprint spot and press [F] to reinstall it — but a clean approach spares you that repair job with respawning zombies around you. How to take off and fly covers the landing itself, and the navigation guide covers following roads and the radar over long distances.

What supplies each place holds

Abandoned location types and their loot

Place

Gas stations

What you can find

Kerosene canisters — a fuel your plane can use — plus water bottles and food and stamina items

Good to know

Amounts vary by station; one had three canisters. Drink or eat on the spot, or stow it all in the cargo room.

Place

Buildings and houses

What you can find

Medicine, bandages, a weapon, a med kit, pilot rations, flashlights, drinks that restore thirst, food and soda, an EFT key and a ticket

Good to know

Every building stocks something different, and consumables restore thirst or hunger when used.

Place

Hangars and workshop buildings

What you can find

A pump, spare wheels, a tool box, kerosene, auto oil and an aircraft battery

Good to know

Mechanical parts worth hauling back in case the plane needs them.

Anything you swallow works on the spot; everything else goes into the plane's cargo room for later. Kerosene canisters travel the same way until you need to refuel — the scavenging guide explains what to load at each stop, and the longest flight guide helps you decide what to carry and what to leave behind.

Zombies, locked containers and empty finds

Zombies come back. Killing the guards once does not clear a site permanently — new ones walk in over time, sometimes mid-loot. Treat every stop as a quick in-and-out, and if a repair keeps you grounded at a site, expect round two.

Not everything is accessible. Fridges and cabinets may simply refuse to open, and some loot sits behind a lock — one soda stash sat under a lock and stayed there. Don't build a loot run around locked containers.

Some finds are empty. At least one rusty car checked on a stop held nothing useful at all. Look a site over fast, take what pays, and fly on.

A fresh plane at a broken-down plane site

At one site with a broken-down plane, a separate, completely new plane stood parked — fueled, in better shape than the plane its finder arrived in, and good for at least 10 km by its finder's own estimate. Don't count on a fresh plane waiting at every wreck — but it is a real reason to walk over and inspect one instead of flying past.

Flying solo, you can also unscrew and remove the rear seats, rear wheels and rear doors, freeing up space for loot.
