TAR13 Episode Timeline, Route, Schedule
Neobie:
Since an afternoon conclusion of Leg 10 on the 13th precludes any intermediate final leg desination, I suppose we could write off Frankfurt as just a connection point?
Legs 1-6 and Legs 10-11 down, just three more to go!
puddin:
Do we have any members that are fans of Jokers? The Kazakhstan reference posted on May 11th is still interesting with the date and all.
btw, you rock Neobie!

"We saw them at the airport in Rio on April 23. I'm not sure of the time but it was probably at around noon. We got to Salvador at around 4pm. They were on that flight. Unfortunatly, I don't have anymore info but I hope that helps."
So we can safely assume now (I think) that all teams arr Salvador on 4/23 lateish afternoon?

So our Cordoba-sourced tourist diverted from Porto Alegre and would have arrived at the Rio airport at about 9:12 am. It sounds like they must have missed their chance to get on Gol Transportes Aereos flight # 1600 which left Rio on at 10:30 am. If so, then they had to wait for a flight that arrived in Salvador around 4 pm. That would have been Gol Transportes Aereos flight # 1830 which left Rio on at 2:35 pm and arrived at Salvador at 4:30 pm. They report seeing the Teams around noon at the Rio airport.
This could not have happened on the 23rd because our teams (Pinks in particular) had just arrived at Sao Paulo's airport at 10:05 am. They were still coming from Chicago on United flight 843. How could they get from Sao Paulo to Rio by noon?
The earliest they could arrive would be by using LanExpress # 750 leaving Sao Paulo at 12:40 pm and arriving at Rio at 1:45 pm. So I don't think our teams were seen on April 23rd at Rio.
The fog also supports that it was April 24th. :jam:

I undertand that it is a tight connection...but why not again?
If they arrive SP at 1005 that gives them time to catch the flight to Rio--then the tight bit is getting the Rio flight to Salvador at 235, right? The noonish time is a little loose..so I'm thinking it could still work?? What am I missing? ???
I just never like to discount an eyewitness account from a reliable witness... :( When I asked abut the date I really emphasized how important the date and time were so I am sure they did their best to give us accurate info....
Neobie:
Just throwing in another question... Why waste money and force teams to go Sao Paulo, then have half of them connect through Rio, when they could simply allow the teams to get to Rio de Janeiro directly - as Phil himself is doing? To spend that much more cash for forty-odd contestants and crew, to give Phil a four hour headstart? Hmm... there must be something happening in Sao Paulo... but if there is... then the flight would be the next day, wouldn't it?

Why, in season 12, did they send the teams to the beautiful island of Inis Mor only to catch a ferry, rest, retrieve a clue only to send them back to Irish mainland ..... :lol: ?
