19th July - thursday right?

these flights are only showing on a Saturday and I went forward to July 08 - the same

thomsonfly shows 3 uk airports that can fly to dbv, but none of them on a Thurs

(basing this off current timetable and one for Jul 08)

looking at other "cheap" uk flight companies

ok this is a bizarre coincidence

I know that ONLY ryanair flies out of Kaunas

my whole family was there the weekend of the 27th July (cousin marrying a local) can't believe they missed out by a week.

anyhoo, what if one bunch of racers went to Kaunas to get a flight out???  still going through all the UK airlines

Well Peach lets see  what do we all have.  ANd maybe combined we can come up with enough flights.

1st.  We are looking for three flights (with at least one having a connection, though in all cases their should be connections).  We are looking for one early (am, maybe arrival?), one later in the day (perhaps afternoon), and then one much later (Pm night?).

2nd:  Looking for arrivals on the 19th, and departures either very late the 18th, but most likely early am on the 19th.

Well from looking at flights through Warsaw, Prague, Amsterdam, London, Paris,)

Its no problem getting Azaria & Hendekea's late flight since almost all flights to various connecting citites can get you there at 6:45pm.  So thats one that could go through London, Prague, Warsaw, Paris and Amsterdam (they each have options) for that late flight.

I can get one flight from VNO on the 19th 6:00am to Prague (PRG) that arrives in Prague at 6:35am.  Either AZ 3305/OK 0871

That gives teams the chance to connect to from PRG to SPU departing 9:55am on TP 7933/9013 that arrives in SPU at 1:55pm.  That could be TK & Rachel.


We also have the flight VNO departs 6:00am arrives to FRA at 8:35am OK 0871 / AF 6312*.  Departs FRA at 9:30am arrives in SPU at 12:55pm.  LH 2478* / OU 0654.

Right there are two flights that could get the majority of teams in to SPU for stuff during the day.

And there is a huge host of flights that could get a team in at 6:45pm (really a ton).

Thats the best I could come up with over the last hour.

  I LOVE you! :hearts:

Okay that's fabulous!  I esp like the Prague info as we had a clue that  TAR ASia and TAR 12 racers may have crossed in an airport and we know TARA2 was in Prague on I think the 17th or 18th so that could just be possible.

Chateau is trying to narrow down his cluebox times for us but right now we can say that we CAN get the teams from Vilnius to Dubrovnik on July 19th. :yess:

We have Ron/Christine there at the cluebox around 12:30

We have Az/Hendekea there around 6PM

We have TK/Rachel in around 2 or so??

So those flights would do it.

NOW>>>

Can we get them from Dubrovnik to Florence on July 20?

We have production on a flight Dubr-Zag dawn on July 20 but not the racers.

Well we do have a picture of our photo source lollygagging in Split but we don't know what that means.

It is a 3+ hour drive from there but see, we know TK/Rachel were in a taxi so I don't think they drove.

And we need the leading teams in Dubrovnik by noon.

Can I cry now?

I have the 2 Zagreb-Dubr flights I posted above and Chateau's London flight  (he just emailed me it is post #163 so let me look)  too but connecting to this isn't so easy.

Oh Hell.

I almost looked at Zeg as a possibility.  But I assumed it was some small place I would have never heard of.

could have saved ourselves  a lot of time there....

but they have them going straight from Burkino Faso to Dubrovnik?  and the days don't jive with thomsonfly from gatwick.

The timetable only shows a saturday flight

though this is the winter schedule and it could be different in the summer which they would have had the luxury of checking in October

Back then we thought Dubrovnik came after BF--we didn't have the Lithuania or Florence stuff then but it is a start!!

Patlini

Some of those flights look really, really good.  With time for customs and cab rides into the city to match local reports.

So I hope the schedules will match, because into DBV I am having no luck with Airwise.
