TAR12 timeline speculation
apskip:
Peach and CHATEAU, I have studied CHATEAU's route through London and have concluded that it is feasible but risky starting from Vilnius on the morning of Thursday July 19. I could only verify the existence of BA2882, which is a Tuesday and Thursday flight at the time indicated below and a Sunday flight 2 hours earlier. The other flight that Chateau listed apparently did not fly at all that week. Here is what teams could take:
LO774 VNO WAW 0625 0650
CO255 WAW LGW 0825 1000
BA2882 LGW DBV 1125 1510
Note that this would get teams in 30 minutes sooner than those going VNO VIE ZAG DBV and arriving 1540. It is the only nonstop from London to Dubrovnik that I can now find(I did miss it earlier as one of my sources does not show it because it has 3 legs and you have to put those connections together manually and another of my sources is prone to requiring it to be the correct day-of-the-week to be useful).
NOTE: Peach is correct below. I did mean July 19.

Peach
I think your summary is correct.
I doubt the charter flights in europe, just because there are so many options available on airlines. But maybe "the missed by 5 minutes" is that they were 5 minutes off pulling a ticket in the right order. Tk and Rachel could have gotten lost on the way to the airport :cmas18 (from what i've seen of their racing I wouldn't put it past this directionally challenged pair)
georgiapeach:
I think apskip has a typo and means Thurs July 19.
And I don't know what to think about these flights. It makes me want to send them somewhere else first to get the arrival times in Dubrovnik right. If Lithuania isn't a 36 hour Pitstop we have one day to play with. :pull:
They just better show us flight #'s this week! Somehow they must have a secret flight schedule! :lol:
patlini:
apskip - what do you think of it being a TBC and getting out to India on July 20th? As I regulate most of the flights I'd looked at left around lunchtime to Delhi (the major European hubs) but I do recall my mother-in-law's flight to mumbai recently was an evening flight from London.
apskip:
patlini, they are not going to get in to Florence and out to India on the same day. It isn't going to happen. You are correct in believing that the major flights from Europe to Delhi depart around noon, but some are as early as 1030. What you are missing is that with your arrival times into Florence of 1215pm and 145pm you already have a negative connect time, you aren't at a major hub, and no tasks have been completed in Florence. It is obvious that the departure from Florence could not be before evening of July 20 if TBC and morning of July 21 if elim. I expect elim.
