The answer to your earlier question, now that I have had time to research it, is that the Zurich-based connection is destroyed. Also, the Amsterdam connection is totally changed to other flights that arriv 3 1/4 hours later. they are LO3312 to WAW. LO267 to AMS, BD112 to LHR and MH001 to LHR. The only connection that stays OK is the one through CDG.

Did you see this? I think it is in Krakow (??) and Dustin/Kandice say "I think they are not going to be able to make their flight" about U/J and then the editors flash to this--does it mean anything to you??

Sure, after careful study it does. There are two destinations that have possibilities for connections that make sense for getting to KUL. One is through Prague. Flight OK771 is shown on that board for 0650 departure. However, my information shows that the schedule is for it to depart KRK at 0530 except on Sundays and arrive PRG 0640. That is just in time to connect with OK758 departing PRG 0715 arriving CDG 0905. Out of CDG MH21 departs 1200 arriving KUL 0635. The late departure of OK771 would mess that all up. However, I am having a hard time understanding how either O/D or U/J could have made it onto a 0530 scheduled flight unless their bus trip to Auschwitz/Birkenau was much shorter than 4 hours (which is certainly could have been based on the real distance).

Now, the other scenario is through Warsaw with LO3910 departing KRK at 0600 arriving WAW 0640. The coonnection is on LO265 departing WAW 0740 arriving AMS 0945. Then, MH17 departing AMS 1200 arriving KUL 0605.

In both cases, any delays of the first flights would screw up the tight first connections. There is ample time in either CDG or AMS for the second connection onto thte long-haul Malaysian Airlines flights nonstop to Kuala Lumpur.

I don't know. but it would be kinda awesome to see more hurling  :lol:

Izad told us this


--- Quote ---ARRIVAL
- Teams fly in from Poland
- Charla and Mirna were the first to arrive at KL International Airport around 4:30 am
- Chas/Beauty Queens/EricDanielle arrived at the KL International Airport around 7 am
--- End quote ---

and that U/J don't even arrive till the teams are on the way to the Pitstop.

I think based on that Mine lunch that the teams were already just 9 miles or so from Krakow if they stayed somewhere nearby there--it would really be backtracking for them to go back to the castle but possible--it looks a long way on the map but in is really under 20 miles all together. And the castle is on the airport side of town...

1) salt mines
2) Birkenau
3) Pieskowa

There is a major problem with the hypothesis from Colby that says that teams could take OS8508(or its LOT code-share) at 0735 from KRK to VIE to connect with OS1 the nonstop arriving KUL 0445 Dec. 10. OS8508 does not operate on Saturdays and neither does OS1, including specifically Dec. 9.

The question of "How do Charla/Mirna get to KUL first?" is extremely perplexing since they should be at least 5 hours behind Oswald/Danny and Uchenna/Joyce at the start. The only way I can think is if it is a 24 hour extended pitstop (not the typical 36 hours) and that turns all the flight schedules into a shambles. I am going to look into this in the morning.

Thanks!
