 :lol3: did anybody else catch one of the beauty queens' blonde moment yesterday?

When getting to the airport to buy a ticket to San Fransisco, one of them was like "I wonder if there is an area to buy tickets!"

--- Quote ---In Tokyo-Narita airport, Charla and Mirna pulled the coup of the century! Let me explain. They were supposed to have been on NW81, which left Guam at 1545 and arrived NRT at 1845. Their booked connection was to NW10(leaving at 2030) just like Eric/Danielle and Dustin/Kandice. Perhaps they arrived a little early and decided to try something theoretically impossible. United 880 left at 1900, with a connect time that is not doable. If you have been to Narita (and I have recently) you know that the gate layout for all the airlines from America is reasonably compact, so changing from one gate to another in a short time is conceivable. UA880 had surely been closed by the time Charla/Mirna got to the gate, but it appears that they talked their (and their camera/sound crew) way onto that flight. It should have arrived approximately one hour before NW10. Ultimately the bunching back at Honolulu airport for the Oakland flight would have negated any advantage from this, but it did give them a considerable head start on Lanai.

To pull this off, you have to be totally prepared. I have no doubt that Mirna was ready and knew what to look for when they arrived in Narita.

I CALLED IT!!  In the wrong thread  of course.  I mentioned UA880 back in the episode 12 thread.  though I didn't expect Mirna to pull it off!   :lol3:

--- Quote ---I was just looking for flights from NRT to HNL leaving between 7:00PM and 8:30PM and the only flights that I can find are the following that leave at 7:00PM. There is nothing later. The next best flights are the NWA flights.



UA880
7:00 pm Depart Tokyo (NRT)
Arrive Honolulu (HNL) 7:18 am

ANA7024
7:00 pm Depart Tokyo (NRT)
Arrive Honolulu (HNL) 7:18 am

USAirways 6476
7:00 pm Depart Tokyo (NRT)
Arrive Honolulu (HNL) 7:18 am


Therefore it looks all teams will be neck and neck going into HNL. IF C/M are on that earlier flight into NRT, the gods would have to be shining on them brightly in order for them to try and change tickets and make a 7:00PM flight. That would be amazing if it happened but I don't see it happening. That's almost impossible!

back in tar6 freddy and kkkendra try to pull that flight off but went to the gate instead of transfer desk

joemike:
The amazing race better not be taking a long break. It better be back in the fall. I got so scared when it said on the early show the amazing race is taking a break for the summer lol. It better come back.

Slowhatch:
A minor example of "flipping" at the Oakland airport. The previous shots had shown the racers running left-to-right; I guess the editors figured it would be jarring to suddenly switch directions.
