This works out nicely. Teams finish leg 2 in Salvador de Bahia on Friday, April 25, Fly to Fortaleza, and then catch the weekly TACV flight to Cape Verde Islands on Saturday!

GMAN,
Or they could wait until Sunday April 27 and fly to Santiago Island, which is bigger and has the capital of Praia and many more flights out. That assumes that they didn't go to Melbourne, Australia on my long-shot Trans-Pacific flights from Santiago Chile or Buenos Aires as has been rumored.
gingerman28:
apskip, the Sunday flight might be a better bet than Saturday. But would TPTB put all their marbles on one flight; one flight a week? Might be a little risky. So who knows where they go next from Salvador de Bahia. :duno:

For all of you who have been dying to know, here is how you do Salvador, Brazil to Melbourne, Australia:
choice of these connections to Santiago -
G3 1887 SSA GRU 1245 1530
JJ 8800 GRU SCL 1635 1950
or
JJ 3173 SSA GRU 1335 1600
G37456 GRU SCL 1750 2235
OR choice of these connections to Buenos Aires -
G3 1979 SSA GRU 1530 1800
JJ 8004 GRU EZE 1910 2200
or
JJ 3849 SSA GRU 1055 1315
RG8634 GRU EZE 1545 1835
Connecting to LAN841 SCL AKL 2245 0355+2 OR AR1182 EZE AKL 2359 0440+2
Connecting flights AKL MEL are QF26 0615 0815 or NZ7 0740 0930. This was tricky for me because when I put in Melbourne, Australia it gave me 2 choices, MEL Tullamarine Airport(the main airport there) and MLB Melbourne(but Florida, which really screwed me up until I figured out why it was taking 29 hours to get a relatively short distance).

AR13 TIMETABLE - first two legs
Depending on when they arrive at LAX, teams have choices of 3 flight combinations to Sao Paulo:
4/22
LAX DFW AA2446 1250 1740 connecting in Dallas with DFW GRU AA963 1945 0750+1 (Note: first to arrive if on schedule)
LAX MIA AA252 1355 2142 connceting in Miami with MIA GRU 2330 0830+1 (Note: second to arrive if on schedule)
LAX GRU UA843 1405 1005+1 with a stop in ORD from 2005 to 2132 (Note: third and last to arrive)
4/23
This means that the tasks in Sao Paulo will have to take until after noon at the very least and that with a 12 hour pitstop it will be after midnight when teams are released.
4/24
There are numerous 2 1/4 hour nonstop flights from Sao Paulo to Salvador. However, choices are limited to the first 2 daily by virtue of the sighting of teams descending the exterior of the elevator just after 9am on 4/24. Those who were sighted could only be on this flight:
G3 1816 GRU SSA 0410 0625
Later teams could be on G31982 GRU SSA 0735 0950, but they will be quite a bit later to the elevator.
