The Amazing Race 14 Speculation on Spoilers
puddin:
So now this has become the speculation thread, I'll make a spoiler thread when we get something solid that this is indeed our race :). Nothing is confirmed as of now.

Peach, I do not understand your comment "Oh and it is definitely Portland, Oregon.....no doubts." unless this comment is limited to the departure of the blogger's relative from Portland to Frankfurt. Is there something else about AR14 that has been connected to Portland OR?

That's LH469, departing at 1.35pm to 9.05am the next day, a flight duration of 10h 30min. Portland, Maine doesn't have a direct flight to Frankfurt - and it'd take a much shorter time too if it did!

Are there no other possible non stop flights with other airlines? The reason I ask is that it doesn't seem to fit with the evidence in the blog: The sister said "Matty left last night. We all went to the airport to see him off."
It would be a real stretch to describe a 1:35pm departure as 'night', especially as he would probably have had to say goodbye to them before heading thru customs, probably 1 hour before departure at least, so I would have expected her to use the words 'lunchtime', or similar. And from the photo of the family, the watch really does look like 1:50pm.
Also Matty mentions in his own blog that he was only "able to sleep for the first two hours of the flight". Even seasoned travellers would find it hard to dose off at midday in their own timezone at the beginning of their first flight.
The only reason it is impt either way is because it changes the window of time for when the racers would have been seen at Frankfurt. :duno:

Mrs. Shrek, the last flight connection leaving Portland that can connect in to Frankfurt are a Northwest/KLM flight PDX AMS 1555 1100+1 connecting with Northwest/KLM AMS FRA 1335+1 1450+1 or a Lufthansa flight that is 5 mintues earlier. This means nothing can be leaving Portland after 355pm until the next morning. Soon after such a flight was in the air to fly east across the Atlantic, it would be after dark.

The original blogger is from Portland Oregon, not Portland Maine.
