AR14 Timelines, Timetables and Flight Information
apskip:
Chateau, I can't leave you confused. The time by car is maybe 90 minutes and that is to a flexible arrival point in Salzburg if a team has the navigational skills. The time by bus is an estimated hour longer and it goes to the Salzburg airport, requiring more time to get to a useful place.
The information on the bus service is:
Lufthansa Airport Shuttle Service - a special alternative
In cooperation with our partner the Salzburger Mietwagen Service (for Innsbruck our partner Four Seasons) the comfortable 8-seater busses travelling to Munich Airport. Reservations including your requested pick-up time are guarantied up to 48 hours prior to departure.
That means it is a flexible departure time, just-call-for-pickup service.
Chateau d If:
So the Lufthansa bus from Salzburg to Munich is the sure winner for explaining all the evidence we have.
Teams drive their Mercedes from Pit Stop to Salzburg (Mozart) airport arriving at say 5:00 pm
Some teams take the Lufthansa bus to Munich, arriving at say 8:30 pm
There they take LH 3424 leaving MUC at 9:30 pm and arriving at 12:25 am in Bucharest (this is the known flight)
Some teams fly out from Salzburg
They take VO 269 leaving at 6:30 pm and arriving at 7:50 pm in Frankfurt
Then LH 3416 leaving FRA at 8:50 pm and arriving at 12:10 am in Bucharest
That bus really puts it all together. I'm so glad you found it. It even satisfies the comment heard that other people in their group were on an earlier flight (12:10 vs 12:25 am arrival in Bucharest).

Are we sure the teams use their vehicles after the pitstop? The blogger from Salzburg took a photo of all the cars the morning after teams arrived at the pitstop (about 6:30am), and it seems like all the cars were still there :duno:
Chateau d If:
I forgot to mention that in order for flight analysis we have assembled to be valid the Pit Stop had to have been extended. If it was extended and they drive the cars, then the cars would still be there at 6:30 am.
So if it was not extended then we have to find a different flight plan.
But, I can't come up with anything that works with Teams being released before noon. :duno:
Mrs Shrek:
Thanks for clarifying that Chateau. I hadn't reread back far enough and had forgotten that a skewed pitstop departure was speculated :tup:
