Timetables and Flight Information
Chateau d If:
It's kind of complicated, but remember this spoiler:
--- Quote ---For those of you who are unfamiliar with the reality TV show, The Amazing Race, it is a competition where people travel all over the world in a hectic rat race to come in first and win the big prize. I..m actually not all that familiar with the show myself but I..m pretty sure they were on my airplane.
This situation happened completely by chance. From Cordoba, we were to have a stop over in Porto Alegre another stop in Sao Paulo and then arrive in Salvador in the afternoon. Because of fog, the airport in Porto Alegre was closed, so we had to detour to Rio and from there, fly to Salvador, which was actually much more efficient and convenient.
At the airport in Rio, we noticed several film crews and people in teams of two, often wearing matching outfits. These two girls from Texas (according to their t-shirts anyway) were wearing matching black biker shorts, bright pink tank tops and a ton of make-up. I think the t-shirt was pretty accurate. Anyway, we noticed them being interviewed by the film crews, acting out dramatic situations and so-on. When it came time to board we talked to some of them and lent one of them our brazil book, although they didn..t give us many details about what they were doing. There was a delay in taking off and one team asked if they could move closer to the front. As soon as they did, all the other contestants tried to do the same. It was kind of annoying becuase I think it delayed our take-off even more. Anyway, at that point, we were pretty confident that if it wasn..t The Amazing Race, it was an amazing race of some sort.

We determined that they were originally on a flight from Cordoba, Argentina to Porto Alegre: G3 7496
So it follows that the flight they take from GIG to SSA would be with G3 since they would continue with that same airlines.
Also G31600 shows up on Matt's board and JJ8001 is not present. Are you sure that flight was active on April 23rd?

I have been looking for an earlier alternative to LA965 LPB SCL 1000 1510. I have found something that is not as good but provides one alternative more than those listed under 4/29 flight information in my latest Timetable. It is:
5L300 LPB VVI 0715 0815
5L210 VVI EZE 1015 1500
LA450 EZE SCL 1550 1710
Unfortunately, I found no way to take advantage of the approximately 10 hours before the departure of LA965. Nothing help you get to SCL any sooner.

Here's what we have seen so far. The newspaper that Teams read in the morning in La Paz is the April 28th edition of La Razon.

chateau,
Dawn on April 28 was not until 622am and sunrise until 644am in La Paz. How could teams be in the lighting conditions we observed in episode 3 before dawn? It didn't happen until maybe 30 to 60 minutes later.
It is possible that you have not seen or do not agree with my hypothesis above that there was a 24 hour acclimization perid that took place on arrival in Bolivia. This makes more sense than doing an extended 36 hour pitstop in Fortaleza.
