I recommend to go for the Long distance in the beginning.
The reason for that is pretty simple:

As a new player Happyjumps or chocojumps are more effective than normal training (until 200k to 400k in a stat. But that's another topic to tackle).
This means you're most probably be stacking Energy for 28 hours.
During this time you can't lose out on natural Energy regeneration since you're already over 150/150 Energy.

Actually, I had a debate with one of former faction mate with regards to this topic.

 

I mentioned in order to do Happy Jumps, I would need that first pot of gold. He said "why can't you travel to make money & fund the Happy Jumps at the same time?"

 

I thought hard about it and my conclusion is the invested Happy Jumps needs to have a positive Return Of Investment (ROI) e.g. rank war earnings, mugging others, etc.and not HJ for the sake of HJ.

 

It also depends on priority. My priority is 2B in the bank and merits, so that was my basis for my recommendation.

Updated main post with screenshot to walk the talk.

 

Already earned 5 merits from 50 trips to countries travelled. Another one from items imported.

Your analysis on the short/medium/long haul destinations are good. I just don't understand the logic of doing them in that order.

 

The further you have to fly (excluding Switzerland) the more profit per hour you make.

So long haul flights are always more profitable.

 

However, you do waste E if you fly long haul. Although you could use the E to attack people abroad for exp and merits, or Revive if that's your playstyle.

 

If you don't want to waste E then medium haul flights are best.

 

I would only recommend short haul if you need to fit a shorter flight in.

 

In all cases just fly to whichever country offers the most profit per hour.

Lots of tools to check this. TornPDA, TornTools, YATA, ArsonWarehouse, TornStats just to name a few

Thank you for your comment. 

 

The order sequence ensure faster attaining of 50 trips merit. E.g. I can spam flights to Mexico before proceeding to Argentina of 3 flights a day, if I sleep and race at night.

 

This guide is more targeted towards those just started travelling. I do recognised your point of mid-haul flights do earn more money (when I did Mexico, I said WTF my earnings drop so much). For veterans who kept spamming South Africa or yet to complete 50 trips of all countries can consider my recommendation.

 

Newbies also usually do not have the revive ability. But I will include your point in my main post since this is a good alternative use of E. Wish Torn can also consider some alternative uses of nerve when abroad.

I think I stick to the advise that it's best to just travel to place which has the most profitable items for that day.

 

Eventually you will unlock the museum which means you will be purposely flying to each country to make sets.

I appreciate that you originally did this. But it's different when you can trade in the sets yourself.

 

In the museum page it's much easier to see how many sets you have. Trade in as many as you can and then it'll tell what is missing. So you fly to that country
