AR14 Timelines, Timetables and Flight Information
Chateau d If:
--- Quote ---KL553/RO102 leaves Amsterdam at 9.00pm and arrives in Bucharest at 6.15am, connecting through Cairo. (Brad/Victoria missed the flight leaving at 8.20pm.) That's five hours behind the (previously) trailing teams. If hours of operation and train schedules work to their favour, they may still be able to climb out of that ditch.

Great work Neobie! It looks like you have a new toy. ;)
Neobie:
Regarding Tammy/Victor: Was looking at flights that are definitively marked as 'cancelled' from Munich, Salzburg, Vienna and Frankfurt, and there are no flights that are included in Tammy/Victor's possible itineraries.
There are a lot of flights which are marked as 'unknown' though, so options are still open (though limited). Also, we see teams on Lufthansa and KLM, but none of the teams are known to be taking TARom, the Romanian flag carrier. Has it been banned (for safety, security, money or what not)?
These are the best flights, throughout the day, from Munich to Bucharest (Apskip has them):
LH3554/OS791 via Vienna: 1100-1335
CL3422: 1320-1615
CL3480: 1525-1825
RO312: 1645-1945 (if TARom is allowed)
(Mel/Mike and Margie/Luke arrive before this line, if clock theory holds)
HG8389/RO344 via Vienna: 1710-2235 (if Niki and TARom are allowed)
KL1798/KL1361 via Amsterdam: 1730-0010 (Brad/Victoria on this flight, for a while)
(LaKisha/Jennifer, Tammy/Victor and Mark/Michael arrive after this line)
LH981/LH3416 via Frankfurt: 1755-0010
LH3276/OK804 via Prague: 1925-0010 (if Czech is allowed)
LH3424: 2130-0025 (Jodi/Christie, maybe Jamie/Cara on this flight)

Here is the actual quote:

I'm Not Wearing That Girls Leotard! (Romania)
Teams scour the Transylvanian countryside for buried coffins outside of Dracula's castle and a first place team falls to the back of the pack when their plane is forced to make an unexpected landing.

So an unexpected landing suggests an actual airplane issue (Mechanical? Weather? Passenger emergency?), so I was hoping we could find that data historically.

Looks like a team that misses the first train needs to be careful they don't take the 6:13 which gets them there later despite leaving earlier...
there must be a bus they could take that would be faster - but since we see Tammy in a train station I'll assume they take a train. :neener:
DrRox:
For whatever reasons, Brad/Victoria, team #5 ended up in Amsterdam.
I "think" that all the teams have to drive the cars back to Munich International Airport. That is my base assumption at this point in time. I, like a few, thought Salzburg was a perfect place for a morning task before heading to Romania. Now I think they got an extended pit stop with Tammy/Victor release at Noon. Why noon? No reason, just sounds good to me. Other teams are released at same interval they arrived at Schloss Hellbrunn.
I think that, the flight that Tammy/Victor where orginally on, returned to Frankfurt. It's Lufthanza's hub and maintainence base. That would explain why they showed up in Bucharest mixed into the other later teams that are split on either the late night FRA-OTP or MUC-OTP flights.
I think it is entirely possible that Mel/Mike, team #2 and Amanda/Kris, team#3, and Luke/Margie, team#4 got on the same flight to Bucharest. I think, because of the clock, that they are actually doing the gynastics at 9 pm. We do not see Amanda/Kris at the gynastics, so they might not have been on the same flight. If they can complete the gymnastics and get to the train station before 9:30 pm, I think they can make the last night train to Brazov. I think the last train is at 9:30. If so, then there is good chance they are doing the detour in Brazov when other teams are still on the train to Brazov. They are probably held up by an HOH there, while other teams are held up by train schedule in early morning hours in Bucharest.
Missing the flight connection in Amsterdam pretty much dooms Brad/Victoria, team #5, unless they can be helped by the time delays of the other teams for HOH or some other team has a drastic meltdown.
