Arrivals from LA are currently:

6:05AM on V Australia - ON TIME
7:50AM on United - DELAYED 12 MINS - New arrival 8:02AM
8:00AM on Qantas - DELAYED 1HR 55 MINS - New arrival 9:55AM
8:40AM on Delta - ON TIME

Is there is any confirmation of the teams being on these flights? Also are these arrivals in American Eastern time?

Arrivals are all in Local Time (Sydney Time). And some teams were seen at the Qantas gate as well as the TBIT of LAX.
The Amazing Race TV Stars- Marc and Rovilson (Currently 1st)
Victor\'s Amazing Race- Mooyou and Jerseydude (Currently 5th)
RFF Amazing Race Season 2- Redskevin88 & Jerseydude (Eliminated 4th)

It's about 15 hours flight time and customs is pretty quick. They should be outside the airport unless they connect by bus to the domestic terminal.

BayBay, Your missing the earlier Qantas Flight (QF12) New Arrival 10:25am (Was Re-directed to Honolulu for some reason)
This could be huge problem.
I see that QF12 was diverted to Honolulu and there is now no arrival time in Sydney for the flight.
If its a mechanical issue they may have to wait for a new plane. Teams on this flight could be days behind!
From there to here, and here to there,

They might try to catch a flight out of Honolulu to Sydney. I will check the flights out of Honolulu to Sydney right now.

Weird, if Kevin/Michael are the ones racing and the race started yesterday.
How come we're still getting tweet updates from him (@kevjumba) and very recent updates from a few minutes ago and also tweets from this few days.

We have not yet 100% confirmed them as racers, although it looks likely. MANY of the confirmed teams tweeted this week, suggesting they were allowed/encouaged to do so.

More on this can be discussed in SPEC if we need to!

Alot of delays this morning which is unusual. This may all be due to the one Qantas flight screwing up the schedule

I have QF108 to arrive around 1000. They are lucky due to all the issues with Qantas lately. All the A380 planes in LA are grounded meaning less seat capacity.
