TAR12 timeline speculation
apskip:
Peach and patlini, your good work in my absence has caused me to research Air Baltic, which does not have anything of interest. However, Air Baltic's website sent me on to Air Estonia, which has an incredible flight nonstop from Tallinn, Estonia(the topmost of the 3 Baltic countries with Latvia in between and Lithuania on the bottom). I discovered that Tallinn is the only city from which Air Estonia flies to Dubrovnik. The flight leaves at 0730 and arrives DBV 0930. Unfortunately it is only twice a week on Monday and Friday in 2008, not clear which days in 2007 but probably the same. That does not help when we are looking for something on Thursday July 19, 2007. To connect to this flight, there are 3 daily flights from VNO to TLL, but the only one that makes sense would be BT335 on Wednesday departing VNO 1830 and arriving TLL 2000, with an overnight at or near that airport.
patlini:
apskip - anyluck with air lot?
apskip:
I don't know if I ever put up my best flight selections for Vilnius after connecting in CDG. The flight from OUA arrives CDG 0610 on Tuesday July 17. CDG is known to be difficult for a close connection. I am giving teams 1 hour 50 minutes to get onto:
AF1340 CDG AMS 0800 0920, connecting to
TE461 AMS VNO 1010 1325
There are several other choices, but all of them are earlier departures from CDG to arrive at 1325. One or two later ones arrive 1355 or 1410, but then it's a big gap to 1745. This could be where some of the separation between teams starts.
georgiapeach:
Okay--thank you for all that work apskip!! Bur what do you think of the LOT flights? ???
Let me see if I can summarize what we have here and y'all correct me if I am wrong.
In terms of whether we can come up with some combo of flights which meets our time needs:
CDG to Vilnius arr approx 1325 :yes:
Vilnius to Dubrovnik X
-- need to review LOT flight though
-- Charters are always possible--but they are frequently of the pull a number and go 1-2-3 variety. In this case, we believe we have TK/Rachel "missing a flight by five minutes" to drop from 1st place into the middle of the pack. It is possible that this info was not heard correctly--but if it was--it sure sound like commercial flights rather than charters, doesn't it?
Dubrovnik to Florence :yes: but late-ish arrivals
Florence onto India :yes:
Do I have that much right?

--- Quote from: apskip on November 30, 2007, 03:45:55 PM ---GMAN, teams are required to get to a designated airport for departure. They are not allowed to deviate to gain an advantage. Remember AR10 on Zanzibar, where going back to the mainland by hydrofoil and then flying out of Dar-es-Salaam aiport would have resulted in a big advantage. It was not allowed due to the constraints imposed by the clue. Your proposal would not be either because there is an airport in Florence. Teams will be required by the clue to fly to it.

Just depends on what the clue tells them to do; "Fly to Milan. Find car with clue. Drive to Florence....etc." Just could be the way TPTB want it to play.
