Peach, your post summarizing everything we know in advance for episode 8 is a tour de force. The only information that conflicts with my information is the opening hour for Macau Tower. I have it as 10am for a Sunday(and I am sure that June 1 was a Sunday due to church events I recall on that day) from an official Macau source:
AJ Hackett Macau Tower Xtreme Sports
Address Level 61, Macau Tower Convention & Entertainment Centre, Largo da Torre de Macau
Phone +853 8988 8656
Opening Hours Monday - Friday 11:00 - 19:30 , Saturday & Sunday 10:00 - 19:30
I still believe it may have opened early but the helicopter ride allows Geoff/Tisha to just make make it to the airprot for CX739 and everyone else has to fly later.
The information from post#3 about what was going to happen in episode 8 on flights is "five teams take three different flights to get to their destination. Sadly, one of the flights leaves a team far behind than the others."
The statement that ther are 3 different flights teams take out of Hong Kong is consistent with my flight information summary:
Preferred for HKG SIN is CX739 1120 1510
Alternates are SQ863 1330 1720 or CX735 1415 1800 or CX711 1615 2000
In all cases teams wait in Singapore for
SilkAir468 SIN COK 2155 2350 (note: one version of this schedule had it move up by 2 hours; I don't know which is right)
To get to HKG airport from Macau the best option for rthe other teams is the direct ferry schedule:
0815 (nobody will get this)
1000 (nobody will get this unless they finish their tasks at Macau tower by 0915)
1215 (this is the one I expect most teams to get)
1345 (this is the last one that gets onto CX711)
