No problem.  Actually, I'm hoping that they are still in Europe because we need more locations to flesh out the route. 

Need more solid Tweets.

RESEARCHRESEARCHRESEARCH

The poster posted on 8:28am on 5 July, presumed Milan, Italy time. flightstats shows several flights from Africa arriving in Milan between 12:00am to 08:00am on 5 July. It is very likely that the poster flew in from Addis Ababa (earlier posts indicate she was on a volunteer trip)

Flight ET 708 touched down at 05:15am local time in Milan on 5 July. It was a 7-hour flight from ADD. This could be the flight the poster was on, and possibly the racers he/she spotted. Further searching shows ET 870 from 03:05pm Lilongwe time which arrived 07:45pm Addis Ababa time.

Teams could have left Lilongwe on the afternoon of 4 July on ET870 to ADD the same night. At that night around 11pm teams could have boarded ET708 to Milan. 3 hours after touch down in Italy, we have our possible sighting.  :jam:

Alternatively, others' conjecture about the Amsterdam to Milan connection is also possible due to multiple flights. I just brought up this flight sequence as it seems clearer and more credible time-wise. I'm not 100% sure if they are still in Milan now, or if they were there at all. But it's a start!  :hearts:
I hope poster can be contacted asap.

Some links for the flights:

Also:

There is a comment that she expected to be in Milan by 515 PM
She gave someone her Italian phrasebook, wondered where they would be going.

Sadly, I see no way to contact her...

I looked this over and the "5:15 pm" is definitely a typo.  Her next post, the one after the flight, was made before 5:15 pm July 5th.  So she saw a team on her flight from ADD to MXP that left on July 4th at 11:00 pm and arrived in Milan at 5:10 am on July 5th. 

The really serious implication of this is that it says there is a two day disparity between the Team on her flight and the Teams that were on the flight to AMS from Nairobi !   :ascared

Those Teams landed in AMS at 5:40 am on July 3rd and could have been in Milan as early as 9:30 am that day.

Intriguing!  I'm currently working on an Amazing Race story/game on a different forum -- Reality TV World.  It features previous winners and once I'm finished the story, I'll post it on the Amazing Race Fantasy Games section so you can see it all.  And I had the Final 5 teams travel to Kuala Lumpur!  Talk about a coincidence!  Anyway, I'd like to see the teams in KL.

Surely if it was in such a well-connected city as KL, and in such a popular place as the KLCC, we would have heard more about it? Malaysia is very popular for Amazing-Race style scavenger hunts. I saw one in action last week in Melaka, and saw a poster advertising another one in KL.. It was probably just one of these?

I will be so upset if it Kuala Lumpur turns out to be true. I've been travelling round south-east asia and hoping to see the race, and was in KL for the whole of the last week!

JMO, but I would be very surprised to see a leg in Malaysia. Five consecutive legs in the same area of southeast Asia? And flying from Jakarta to Phuket then back to Kuala Lumpur seems like backtracking to me.  :duno:

Or were you thinking it was just a connection.

Hope this is true, but "5 minutes ago" is about 10:10 PM EST which is 4:10 AM. Strange time for a pitstop (unless teams are leaving).

BU Brussels
The Lugano Leadership Academy is officially underway! Participants start tomorrow with the Amazing Race through Lugano.
4 Jul via LinkedIn

This sounds strange, even though Lugano is in Switzerland, the Leadership Academy belongs to the Boston University Brussels Campus???

Post Datum: Now I realize it is an AR for the Academy Participants only which are sent from Belgium to Switzerland! Case dismissed!

Off topic: Hate it when TAR and TARLA run at the same time and worse, when they air same time, same day, and the episode number even matches!

(finally) Belgium! and they're also going to Lugano, Switzerland as well?  They'd went to that country before on the Unfinished Business edition around last season. :ascared

And if they're really going to Lugano, Switzerland for the 19th season and not on the upcoming TARLA 3 then that city will be the 2nd to the last leg before heading back to the US, and probably the final city for TAR 19 will be somewhere in the Atlantic coast like New York, Miami, Boston, etc.

lol peach..they dont hate you.  glad you found it.  but based on this picture, you have it as "not showing".  you would have had to click "most recent" instead of the default "amazing race".  im guessing that's what you did.
