TAR12 timeline speculation

This one's for you! There is twice a week ferry service from Japan to Taiwan. However, the days of the week (Wednesday and Saturday) are useless for AR12's purposes). Also, the transit time from mainland Japan is about 3 days. Okinawa it is 22 to 34 hours. Nobody on the Amazing Race would want to do these:
Nagoya (Japan mainland) depart: 11:00 Sat 10:30 Wed
Osaka (Japan mainland) depart: 00:50 Sun 00:50 Thur
Naha (Okinawa) arrive: 07:30 Mon 07:30 Fri
Naha (Okinawa) depart: 20:00 Mon 20:00 Fri
Keelung (Taiwan) arrive: 18:00 Tues
Kaohsiung (Taiwan) arrive: 06:00 Sun

On the question of Osaka via Seoul or Hon Kong here is a vidcap from the show that shows all the flights that had arrived at Osaka's KIX airport when the three teams passed through. It gives us that both flights had arrived (JL962=KE5721 and CX506=JL5120). Had they arrived on the earlier flight from Seoul 40 min ahead of the flight from Hong Kong then why would we see that the Hong Kong flight had already arrived? Forty minutes is too long to linger around after your flight arrives!

Annnnd: Just to check one more clue, I looked at the present-day gates of arrival for the two flights. Maybe the flights pull into different gates at KIX that can be distinguished by what we see in the show. ;)
It turns out that they do go to different gates! I snagged the arrival information from the KIX website and it says that Korean Air 5120 from Seoul goes gate S/31. And that Cathay Pacific 506 from Hong Kong goes to N/11.
So I checked the footage from the show and found this shot of Jenn & Nate at KIX leaving from a large room called "North Arrivals". :tup:
Do I still have to ask?

I just wanted to add that Jen's birthday is July 28th or 29th?~
All one Racer wants for her birthday is a spot in the Final 3…will her birthday wish be granted?

I'm pretty sure it's 28th. :(
