Probably meant July 9.

In which case it actually arrived 1:41 am, even later.

Both flights delayed. But Munich has a 1.5 hr lead


Luft 762 Munich:
Actual Departure:  Actual Arrival: 
12:27 PM - Wed Jul-8-2015  11:23 PM - Wed Jul-8-2015

Luft 760 Frankfort:
Actual Departure:  Actual Arrival: 
2:14 PM - Tue Jul-7-2015  1:09 AM - Wed Jul-8-2015

According to what you posted, Luft 760 arrives in Delhi about 22.5 hours BEFORE Luft 762 arrives.

You are right. So perhaps you could be helpful and FIX it?

Here are the corrected flight times. Looks like the Frankfurt teams got screwed...

It's about 10:35 PM in Delhi/Agra. Either we missed them or maybe they went somewhere else first and will go to Uttar Pradesh next?

Also, I suspect the Frankfurt teams probably weren't screwed much. Arriving in the middle of the night makes an Hours Of Operation delay likely, allowing trailing teams to catch up.

Not unusual for us to miss teams in India, esp with a night arrival.

Agree the delay prob meant little.

Actually 21 flights a day from Hong Kong to Anchorage.........but they are all air cargo. Anchorage is a refueling stop across the Pacific. I never found your CP flight to ANC in Flight Stats.......but probably just my poor search skills. Also never found the "Southern Air" flights either....but no big deal

The problem here is that all the sources I checked say the same info (Flightstats, Kayak, Flightaware):

AR1257 GIG-EZE 8.55PM 12.15PM

I'm continuing the discussion here rather than in the racing report thread. I used the historical data in Flight*tats, and that said that the flight was scheduled to leave at 20:20, but left at 20:25 on the 24th of June.

I have seen other instances where the scheduled and actual departure times seem to have been switched on Flight*tats, so that may very well have happened here.

Checking back in the first page in this thread, at that moment the flight was scheduled to depart at 8.25pm:

Evening and night yesterday flights:

AR 1253 GIG to AEP 02.54pm 06.08pm
EK 47     GIG to EZE 04.07pm 07.19pm
AR 1257 GIG to AEP 08.25pm 23.45pm (EZE)

However, as you can see although it was originally scheduled to land in Aeroparque the flight ended landing in Ezeiza, what matches with the scenes of the teams running through the terminal A looking for cabs.

The teams departed from San Antonio de Areco in the 6.40pm bus. That bus is a semi-cama; the rows on each side of the lower deck have two seats.:

That's 42 hours of travel from the bus departure to the arrival at Livingstone airport, excluding wait time from the pit stop release until teams reached the orphanage. With the overnight OOH and overnight wait, the leg easily consumed 72 hours or so, before starting leg 5.
