Timetables and Flight Information
apskip:
I don't know, but their flight would mostly likely have been AKL SIN 2355 0645 SQ282. If they had gotten Emirates
EK433 6:00p 6:30p AKL BNE connecting with EK433 8:00p 130a then Ty/Aja would have easily made 3K595 at 6am SIN REP, which they clelarly did not.
apskip:
I have taken another look at Delhi to Almaty flight combinations. What I show now is:
IC897 0745 0945 DEL DXB connecting in Dubai with KC896 1120 1740 DBX ALA
TK1079 0445 0910 DEL IST connecting in Istanbul to TK1350 IST ALA 1940 0400+1
The latest gives teams these additional options:
DEL DOH QR233 0455 0655 connecting to DOH DXB QR100 0755 1000, connecting to DXB ALA KC896 1120 1740
DEL SVO SU534 0215 0615 connecting to SVO ALA KC872 0920 1645
I am thinking that the pitstop checkin times were about 12pm to 1pm for all teams; the thing that's hard to gauge is the tranportation time between the tasks, which tends in the Delhi area to be more significant a factor than task completion times. If so, then the first 3 teams after a 12 hour pitstop chould be able to get the last combination shown above through Moscow. Memory tells me that teams are obligated to visit a travel agency for international flight tickets before they will be allowed into the airport. If they are quick enough at the travel agency, Nick/Starr, Toni/Dallas and Terence/Sarah will be able to get to Almaty by 445pm. If not, the next flight gets teams in at 540pm 55 minutes later.
Zack.:
FWIW they're all bunched up at the chicken factory (HOO 730 - 2000) for the FF clue, so I assume it's the first place they go to upon arrival.
Perhaps they get a task in Delhi first, pushing the lead teams back some? Or we could always have another slightly extended pit stop.
Neobie:
CBS insider video "Terence and Sarah's New Friend" shows Terence talking about making the money necklace "last night". So no >24h stay in Delhi Pit Stop #1!

Moscow to Almaty: No idea on this. I've only got Air Astana and Transaero going this route, but nothing on the schedule fits. Ideas?
