AR17 Flight Information
apskip:
I have additional flight information for leg 2 Heathrow to Accra to provide non nonstop flight combinations that could result in earlier arrival if departure was much earlier in the day:
LHR BRU SN2092 0820 1030
BRU ACC SN259 1140 1620
LHR FRA LH4743 0625 0855
LHR ACC LH 566 1025 1450
LHR AMS KL1002 0955 1225
AMS ACC KL859 1405 1845
apskip:
Leg 4 Actual Flight Information is Now Available
The flight from Accra to Frankfurt was indeed LH567 2203 0603+1
The flights 6/1 from Frankfurt are not direct to Kiruna. A change in Stockholm's Arlanda Airport is mandatory. Times for the two flights mentioned in the telecast are reasonable:
LH3000 FRA ARN 0747 0945 or
LH3002 FRA ARN 0955 1155
Only Nat/kat, Brook/Claire, Michael/Kevin and Gary/Mallory made LH3000 due to either limited actual seats or to WRP/CBS imposed restrictions to
spread out teams a little.
The final flights from Stockholm (ARN) to Kiruna (KRN) were:
first 4 teams could get either DK3761 1030 1155 or SK1042 1107 1231
The other 5 teams would be left with:
SK1044 1325 1440. That gave the first group of teams either a 2 .75 or 2.15 hour head start.

I have looked at the question of whether Muscat, Oman is a logical connecting point for flights from St. Petersburg to Dhaka. It is NOT. Here's why:
1. the only single connection from LED to DAC is via Bangkok (BKK).
2. the least total time double connections from LED to DAC are via:
Moscow (DME) and Dubai (DXB)
Dubai (DXB) and Doha (DOH)
Moscow (DME) and Bangkok (BKK)
Moscow (SVO) and Dubai (DXB)
Helsinki (HEL) and Delhi (DEL)
Rostov (ROS) and Dubai (DXB)
Moscow (SVO) and Delhi (DEL)
Moscow (DME) and Dubai (DXB)
Kiev (KBP) and Dubai (DXB)
3. all connections from LED to MCT are double except one through Doha and from Muscat to Dhaka there is one nonstop to Dhaka. That means this combination is possible:
FV145 1400 1530 LED DME
EK134 1655 0019+1 DME DXB
KU677 0130+1 0230+1 DXB MCT
BG022 0315+1 1130+1 MCT DAC
However, there is no point in going through Muscat. it would be simpler to just do this:
EK582 0145+1 0800+1 DXB DAC
Through Moscow, the best you could do is to connect onto that same flight EK582
My conclusion is that it is illogical to use Muscat as just a connection point from St. Petersburg to Dhaka. If teams were spotted in the Muscat airport, it would be because there was a leg in Oman.

Nice Work!
I think then there may be only 1 Bangladesh leg.
Caelestor:
Is it certain that teams left Oman the night on the 8th? It could very well be the 9th.
I agree that there has to be a leg in Oman.
