Can you ask her about the flags? Where were those flags? What size? I saw little flags at LAX. And not too many either! Easy to miss.

I got confused the first time I talked to her about it, what she saw wasn't a flag it was the pack with the yellow/red stripes we all know and love. She mentioned she knew it was the race because the pack had that design and she knows the flags on the race have that design....so I wrote down the wrong thing in my first post. Sorry for the confusion!

I would like to add some information on international flights landing in Las Vegas between midnight and noon today. Here they are:
from Toronto US160 1007, AC591 1057
from Calgary AC546 1048, WS(Westjet)354 1144
from Vancouver US395 1035
from Mexico City MX990 after 0911
from Guadalajara OAE107 0051, MX996 1010
from Montreal AC575 1125
I happen to agree with Chateau's analysis that says you back up from an approximately noon sighting and then subtract an allowance for getting through customs/immigration and getting from McCarran (5 miles from the Las Vegas central Business district). I am using 1 hour total, so that means flights must land before 11am. That means that the prime suspects are US160 from Toronto, AC546 from Calgary, US395 from Vancouver, MX990 from Mexico City and MX996 from Guadalajara.
The next step is to work backward from the departures in the above cities to see the window for incoming flights from Europe to there.
Those departures are:
US160 0824
AC591 0908
US354 0758
AC546 0858
MX990 0720
MX996 0910
Working backward, here is what is possible in the right time frame incoming from Europe on this morning:
into Toronto - AC84 from Tel Aviv landed 0540; that's it because the London flying into Toronto is London Ontario
into Calgary - nothing, with incoming from LHR late afternoon and evening, too late to be useful
into Vancouver - nothing; although there are later arrivals from Amsterdam, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, London Gatwick, London Heathrow and Charles de Gaulle, none is in the right time frame
into Mexico City from Madrid IB6401 arrived 616am
into Guadalajara - nothing except for cargo flights in from CDG and FRA
So the theory I am using is not working too well with nothing except one flight from Tel Aviv and one from Madrid this morning in the right time frame. Those are not the right cities for European deaprture points. I am returning to my prior theory of flying Prague to Atlanta, then connecting Atlanta to Las Vegas.

Why does it have to be an "international" flight to Las Vegas? There are tons of domestic arrivals in the correct time frame.
Regarding the allowance time for customs and immigration - when you fly from Toronto to the USA you "pre-clear" before you board the plane. So the flights can land at domestic terminals and you don't have to go through customs and immigration again.
I believe they use the same process in Montreal and Vancouver.
Kiwi Jay:
Well said :lol: I am really excited for Las Vegas. I am sure it will be a great ending
theschnauzers:
If Atlanta was the connection, then teams would go through ICE there, and not in Las Vegas. IIRC, the T Concourse at ATL correctly, there's a way for passengers to connect to a domestic flight using the underground trains between the various concourses (A,B,C,D, E) without going into the Arrivals area beyond the security threshold.
