Timetables and Flight Information
apskip:
Actually, zackattack308, there are 2 flights to Baku. One is at 0110 and the other at 2000.
apskip:
TIMETABLE through arrival at Dubai(for leg there or transit elssewhere)
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 connecting 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.
4/25 - 4/28
We do not know where teams go next. It could be Fortaleza, Recife, Manaus, Brasilia, LaPaz, Asuncion or elsewhere. It is highly highly likely that there is a REST DAY on 4/30 in the Santiago area.
4/28
Teams arrive in Santa Cruz Bolivia
4/29
Teams fly from Santa Cruz to Santiago. Chocies are:
LAN967 VVI SCL 1205 1725
LAN967 VVI IQT 1205 1355 LAN365 IQT SCL 1920 2230
TA34 VVI LIM 0805 0900 TA33 LIM SCL 2100 0205+1
4/30
It is highly highly likely that there is a REST DAY in the Santiago area.
What we appear to be sure of is that teams end up at Santiago Chile airport on this evening.
LAN801 2245 0355+2 SCL AKL
5/2
LAN801 0500 0700 AKL SYD
SQ220 0815 1425 SYD SIN
TG414 1530 1650 SIN BKK
PG907 1740 1900 BKK REP OR PG909 1800 1940
5/3
REST DAY in Siem Reap area (although it could have come one day earlier in Auckland, Sydney, Singapore, or Bangkok)
5/5
Siem Reap to Bangkok airport
Most probable flights out will be PG904 REP BKK 0950 1045 or PG906 REP BKK 1250 1400 or PG914 1430 1540 although there are 2 more later. The news that there is a known 4 hour layover in Bangkok is interesting.
Choice of these 3 nonstop flights form BKK to DEL:
IC854 BKK DEL 1330 1615 or
TG315 1745 2045 or
9W063 1825 2130
The first pair has 2 3/4 hours between PG204 and IC854, so that doesn't fit. the second pair has 3 3/4 hours between PG906 and TG315, so that is an excellent fit. the third pair has 2 3/4 hours between PG914 and 9W063, so that doesn't fit. It looks like our flight connection is:
PG906 1250 1400 REP BKK
TG315 1745 2045 BKK DEL
Arrival into downtown Delhi would be after 10pm. I am going to guess that they run into an hours of operation restriction fairly quickly.
5/6
Delhi
5/7
Delhi to Dubai nonstop flights:
AI9897 DEL DXB 0745 0945
AI9895 DEL DXB 2000 2155
AI747 DEL DXB 2055 2245
However, some close connections cannot be ruled out:
DEL DOH QR233 0500 0620 connecting to DOH DXB QR100 0755 1000
DEL AUH 9W582 2100 2335 connecting to AUH DXB 9W7485 0115 0245 (Neobie says this is a bus; I believe him)
Chateau d If:
--- Quote ---LAX GRU UA843 1405 1005+1 with a stop in ORD from 2005 to 2132 (Note: third and last to arrive)
--- End quote ---
Apskip, this flight is highly unlikely. Did you read Peach's report on when teams were spotted at ORD walking to board UA flight 843 to Sao Paulo at about 7:45 pm? You have placed teams on a LAX to ORD flight that does not even arrive to ORD until 8:05 pm. That is 20 minutes after they were spotted walking in the terminal! Not possible.
The only valid options are these two flights originally suggested by Neobie back on page 1:
UA 114: 1204 to 1807
UA 116: 1255 to 1855
apskip:
Chateau,
You may be right, but you have missed something important. Why would a team select connecting flights when they could be on the plane and flight that is going to Sao Paulo (UA 843)? The very simple probable explanation is that the winds were high and that flight got into Chicago early to account for the sigthing 15 minutes before 8pm.
apskip:
Here are the flight possiblities from Santa Cruz Bolivia(VVI) to Santiago Chile(SCL) for 4/29:
Best is the one-stop(Iquique Chile) LAN967 VVI SCL 1205 1725.
Next best but unlikely to happen is if teams were unable to get the second leg of LAN 967 -
LAN967 VVI IQQ 1205 1355
LAN IQQ SCL 365 1920 2230 (one-stop in Antofagasta)
Finally, the least desirable is TACA34 VVI LIM 0805 0900
TACA33 LIM SCL 2100 0205+1 (We've seen this one before in AR11).
