AR14 Timelines, Timetables and Flight Information

Neobie,
Given the release times there is no reason that all 7 teams should not have been on SU810 OVB SVO 0700 0815. It looks to me that either that was not available or Tammy/Victor made a mistake in booking to Domodedovo airport for a flight leaving earlier U6099 OVB DME 0640 0755. However Tammy/Victor if for some reason they could not get on SU810 should have waited for SU1440 OVB SVO 1055 1210. Flights to Domodedovo in between were:
UN108 0720 0825
S7174 0740 0855
S7178 1000 1120
Neobie:
Rewatched the episode, and Victor whispers "ten" when Margie asks him what time their flight leaves (while Jaime blurts out a louder "seven"). The earlier flights must have been sold out.
Is there any reason to believe that not all teams arrived in Phuket on the same flight? We have Tammy/Victor and Mike/Mel (coincidentally the first two teams) on the 7.30am Bangkok flight, but they're nowhere to seen with LaKisha/Jennifer, Cara/Jaime and Michael/Mark at Phuket Zoo (which, if it's the monkey, is our first location).
And if the leg starts at 8.50am when the Bangkok flight lands, would teams take so long as to be stuck at the rickshaws at 4 in the afternoon?
For comparison, non-eliminated teams took 1h33 to 3h12 on the Locarno half-leg and 1h1 to 1h27 on the Interlaken half-leg.
The Munich-Salzburg long distance leg took 5h58 to 9h36.
The Bran half-leg took 1h57 to 4h38.
The Novosibirsk leg took 2h31 to 5h17.

Neobie,
I have no 0730 BKK HKT flight. I do have these:
TG201 0720 0840
TG203 0740 0900
PG271 0750 0915
All of these land within a half-hour of when a 0730 deaprture would, so it's not a big deal.
I have taken another look at my listings for Jaipur to Phuket via either Delhi and Bangkok or Mumbai and Bangkok plus the one from Mumbai to Sinagpore. The impact of all reasonable possilbities is whown here:
IT2301 JAI DEL 0550 0650 connecting TG324 DEL BKK 1155 1725 connecting to TG223 BKK HKT 1820 1940
IC612 JAI BOM 0735 0910 connecting TG340 BOM BKK 1230 1815 connecting TG227 BKK HKT 1915 2035
IT612 JAI DEL 1950 2030 connecting SQ407 DEL SIN 2315 0715+1 connecting SQ5052 SIN HKT 0850+1 0935+1
9W372 JAI BOM 2040 2220 connecting IT693 BOM BKK 0035+1 0620+1 connecting PG924 BKK HKT TG201 0720+1 0840+1
Which flight is best depends on when a team can depart from Jaipur Airport. If released early in the morning, then they could arrive Phuket between 1940 and 2035. If they have to wait until the evening, then then will arrive Phuket bewteen 0840 and 0935.
My prediction is that they will be released in Jaipur after a 12 hour pit stop before midnight. The first flights they can get ar shown on top above, but probably some teams are forced onto the evening flights. The Hours of Operation at the Phuket Zoo, which is open from 0830 to 1800. So the teams arriving at 0840 or 0935 will be behind at least one to two hours.

The flight which T/V and Mel/Mike were on is supposed to be:
--- Quote ---15/nov
Bangkok- phuket
thai airways
flight TG203- 0730
--- End quote ---
perhaps the time from the source is not correct? ???

Yup, it could be off by 10 minutes, but since I said that it hardly matters why should anyone care? The key is what actually happened. On November 15 TG203 departed Bangkok at 736am and arrived late in Phhuket at 858am. Again, well within that 30 minute window that I mentioned. I thank Neobie for the technique needed to find that information.
