Long Distance Tourist Contract question

[Biggen]

I picked up a long tourist contract and I need to go to the Joolian, Eve, and Duna system.  I thought I'd do Jool 1st since it is the farthest out so that is completed.  I'm currently in a large elliptical orbit of Jool trying to figure out where I need to go next.  Should I eject straight from Jool into Duna and attempt an aerocapture?  Fuel really isn't an issue right now. I think I have around 4000m/s of dV left in the tank.

Just trying to figure out the most efficient thing to do. I suppose I could use Eve as a gravity assist to slow me down into a Duna orbit but I don't want to be orbiting the sun for decades waiting for transfer windows as I'm under time limits for the contract.

I had that same contract (or a very similar one). I just dropped down to Duna at about 40km. Duna's atmosphere is pretty thin that high up so it won't help all that much, but you won't need a shield either (and it counts as "atmospheric flight on Duna" for the tourists).

From there, just hit the brakes at Pe like normal or, if your timing's right, head straight to Ike for a bit of a gravity brake. Ike is so easy to get an encounter with that you kinda have to try hard to avoid it. You should be able to line it up pretty easy. It worked out well for me, and I made a tidy profit.
