TAR19 Timeline

MamaT:
Many Many thanks for everyone who has been helping with the timeline and an equal amount of apoligies for my not being more efficient with this project! 
Today I will not leave my desk until I am caught up!!

We probably all know Leg 3 took place in Indonesia too, but here's just some timeline evidence to back it up...

Teams were flying out of Yogyakarta on the 24th, arriving at Bangkok that evening. This means that the racing action for the next leg starts on the 25th, and Phil does his stand-ups on the 24th.

Phil was seen at Borobudur on the afternoon of the 23rd, when the check-ins for the previous leg ended around noon the day before. He would have had ample time to head out to Borobodur, get to the airport, and take this:

GA 215 from Yogyakarta to Jakarta, 1755-1900
SQ 967 from Jakarta to Singapore, 2025-2300
MI 752 (subsidiary of SQ) from Singapore to Phuket, 0820-0910

Allowing him to film his stand-ups on the 23rd and moving the entire schedule one day forward. It's likely he only waited around in Indonesia because he was needed to check in teams on the 23rd, meaning Leg 3 takes place around Yogyakarta too.

There! Proven something all of us already knew.

The race in the Phuket area was run on the 25th. Let's have Phil leave the area that evening for the next leg.

Assuming the immediate next destination is South Africa, here are two convenient flights that Phil can take to Johannesburg:

KA 215 from Phuket to Hong Kong, 25 1815-2250 (CX code-share)
CX 749 from Hong Kong to Johannesburg, 25 2345-0700
MI 757 from Phuket to Singapore, 25 2010-2255 (SQ code-share)
SQ 478 from Singapore to Johannesburg, 26 0210-0700

This means that Phil should be ready for filming his stand-ups on the 26th, and production would be ready for teams to arrive for a race on the 27th.

With teams racing Leg 5 on the 27th and Malawi on the 30th, there is definitely enough space for an extra, short leg in between. Three possibilities we're looking at:

1. Leg 5 as an extra short leg in Thailand
2. Leg 6 as an extra short leg in South Africa
3. Delay due to black-out in Malawi

DrRox noted that it was unusual for only four legs to be run in Asia, and if you add this to Elimination Station logistics, it kind of makes sense; we haven't had an Elimination Station with just four teams before, and it doesn't make sense to send a team from Africa all the way back for sequester. Although this is far from confirmed, I think Possibility #1 is the most likely: Leg 4 in Phuket (25 Jun), Leg 5 somewhere else in Thailand (26 Jun), Leg 6 in South Africa (28 Jun) and Leg 7 in Malawi (30 Jun).

Of course, we'd have to consider Possibility #4, where Johannesburg was merely used as a connection point after one/two legs in somewhere else completely different: Leg 4 in Phuket (25 Jun), Leg 5 elsewhere (26/27 Jun), Leg 6 elsewhere (28 Jun), Leg 7 Malawi (30 Jun). The variables are boundless in this case, and... I think we'd have to wait for more information before making a call.
