TAR12 timeline speculation

Nice work apskip!

--- Quote from: apskip on November 29, 2007, 09:27:03 PM ---Dubrovnik to Florence flights for July 20(my guess) are pretty easy to estimate. There are only 2 good options:
OU661 DBV ZAG 0640 0735
AZ545 ZAG MXP 1155 1325
AZ1694 MXP FLR 1515 1615
or
OU384 DBV FCO 1555 1700
AZ1681 FCO FLR 2130 2230
Some teams will get the early combination; others will not.
--- End quote ---
apskip, after reading the flight schedule you proposed, I wonder if Nicolas/Donald can catch up with the teams in front? According to Chateau's time, it seemed they probably arrived the pit stop in Dubrovnik at around 1830-1900, so assuming a 12 hour pit stop, they will start the next leg at 0630-0700, which makes them impossible to make the first flight.
So are there any option for them other than the second one you suggest, since they are in Italy in daylight from the preview? Or all teams start the tasks on 21 July?
Edited: Just try to search some flights on the web... wondering if this is possible?
20 Jul 2007
DBV FRA 0730 0935 LH2469
FRA FLR 1050 1220 LH4060

serendipity, thank you for identifying another whole in the database that I rely on for routine historical airline information. That database has enough errors to resemble Swiss cheese right now. Yes, your flight combination like the ones suggested through Frankfurt to get to Dubrovnik(but not used except by Azaria and Hendekea who were left with few options) is excellent and much better than the morning departure to ZAG that I showed.
If there is an airport crunch and limited capacity on OU418(the real flight number DBV FRA; LH2469 is the code-share version), then teams arriving early enough to know that could do this instead:
OU661 DBV ZAG 0640 0735
OU416 ZAG FRA 0955 1130
LH4062 FRA FLR 1230 1400, which will arrive 100 minutes after the earlier flight from Frankfurt to Florence.
I have reexamined my listed flight combinations and I see that the afternoon connection through Rome now appears to have a quicker arrival at 1850:
OU384 DBV FCO 1555 1700 (unchanged)
AZ1679 FCO FLR 1740 1850 (replaces AZ1681, the 2130 flight)
Can Nic and Donald make either of the morning flight combinations? Possibly not because they would have to be at the airport(quite close to tthe pitstop) by 7am. If they could not get out on the early flights, then here are some later possible combinations:
OU669 DBV ZAG 1300 1355
LH3483 ZAG FRA 1435 1620
LH4064(not a legal connection; only possible if LH3483 arrives quite early) FRA FLR 1630 1800 or LH4066 2105 2235
OU669 DBV ZAG 1300 1355
OU414 ZAG FRA 1755 1930
LH4066 FRA FLR 2105 2235
These combinations are probably going to result in a deficit to my previous routing through Rome arriving Florence 1850. Nevertheless, if stuck in DBV I might take the shot at routing through Frankfurt because there is that slim chance that you can make LH4064 and shave 3.5 hours off your deficit.

Thanks apskip!
That helps a lot because now we (sorta--I don't trust the times anymore thanks to TPTB) know that teams have to hit the mat by late afternoon in order to make those AM flights on the 22nd.
And that fits much better with a possible Florence Pitstop.
