TAR12 timeline speculation

egnsixteen, yes there are several later CDG to FLR flights. I picked the one for 1 hour 10 minute connect time recognizing that it might be an issue. Here are the others:

AF 5040 1000 1205
AF 5036 1205 1405
AF 5042 1320 1520
AF 5044 1545 1740
AF 5048 1855 1050

I hat CDG! and agrre about connecting difficulties there--they aren't easy!

Okay--puddin may have just placed teams in Bobo--

So would all flights out of there be via Ouagadougou--or are there any direct flights to Europe straight from Bobo?  And of course they could train it back to O--just checking!

apskip:
Bobo Dioulasso is a regional airport only. It has no flights to Europe. On July 16, it is not listed as having any flights to OUA nor is next July 14, 2008 listed as having any. I instinctively do not trust that information because it doesn't make sense.  However, right now in November there is a Monday flight from BOY to OUA:

BOBO DIOULASSO (BOY)
13:00 OUAGADOUGOU (OUA)
14:00 2J 102

Unfortunately, this is not really useful since teams will complete a 12 hour pitstop late evening of July 14. They could reach Bobo Dioulasso the morning of July 15(Sunday) and do tasks, resulting in a TBC ending and return to OUA that afternoon or evening for the 2340 flight back to Paris.

As an aside, Peach, my reading of the train lines does not show that Bingo and Bobo Dioulasso are on the same line. Bingo is on a short spur to the northwest while Bobo Dioulasso is the main stop on the main line west and a little south.

I'm not good at this but whatever   :snakes: :inocent: :hides :rfth:~

Air Burkina Popular Flights  :lol:

Bobo Dioulasso to Abidjan
Air Burkina has 1 daily flights from Bobo Dioulasso to Abidjan, for a total of 34 seats daily.

puddin, it can be a bit trickier than you think. For example, you say that BOY has a flight to ABJ. I say not on Sundays it doesn't and that's the only day that matters for the next leg since July 15 was a Sunday. Teams cannot get to BoboDioulasso before July 15 no matter how hard they try after a 12 hour pitstop. Other sources indicate that there was no such flight on July 15 and Air Burkina says there son't be one on July 13, 2008(the equivalent Monday), but the main determinant is Air Burkina's schedules for the week from today, which shows one flight between BOY and ABJ only on Friday. I went on to discover the following gems from the Air Burkina schedule, which I had found an hour ago for the first time but had not really exploited most of what is there:

It flies BOY OUA on Monday, Friday, and Saturday. Since teams are likely to return to OUA same day on July 15, it does not look like they will be using a flight.
It flies from BOY to Bamako, Lome and Niamey on Saturdays via Ouagadougou.
If flies to Paris-Orly from OUA on Saturday, but this is not going to be useful.
