Not a good idea for Washington this time of year. Hot and Humid Wednesday will be about 89F with thunderstorms in the afternoon. Besides the city is chuck full of tourists with cell phone cameras this time of year.
I would go camp out at Dulles (15 minutes away) but tomorrow is chemotherapy day for me so I'm not going to be able to do much of anything. I like the idea of Atlanta though, at least it would be a new ending city, right Peach?

I actually love the idea of Atlanta as a START location, there are several places that would be secluded but gorgeous, especially for a spring race.

I'm getting a timeline result that says the whole thing ends tomorrow!
Are we sure that the Prague activities did not happen already? :duno:

For Thursday August 6th
here is your flight to Atlanta:
DL 63 leaving Prague at 11:00am and arriving ATL at 3:35 pm
But! Instead, consider these flights to New York:
Czech Airlines OK 50 leaving Prague at 11:00 am and arriving JFK at 2:15 pm
And that is the loser flight. The winners will manage to put this together:
Lufthansa LH 3267 leaving Prague at 6:00 am and arriving in Frankfurt FRA at 7:10 am.
then
Air India AI 191 leaving Frankfurt at 8:05 am and arriving in Newark NJ EWR at 10:25 am.
I'm not saying it has to be this way but I like it! :jam:

As a veteran of Air India, that's not a winning flight. Loonnnnggggg lines, late departures, and a flight that was probably sold out months ago. ;D

Production usually prebuys the tickets for the final leg.
I have no idea Chateau, anything is possible at this point. I think it is ready to happen but :duno:

Then the final leg would be flights starting in Prague and continuing to the U.S. I decided that it is useful to see which cities have nonstop service form Prague. Unfortunately, the answer is only JFK and ATL. Here are the flights for Friday Aug. 7:
PRG JFK DL209/OK5054 0930 1230 (and Thursday or Saturday)
PRG JFK OK050/DL8742 1100 1415 (and Thursday or Saturday; note - some versions have both times 5 minutes later)
PRG ATL none, although on Thursday and Saturday DL063/OK5088 1100 1535
Now, I do not expect a 11 leg race, so I believe the final leg will be no earlier than Sat. Aug. 8.
This lists only the nonstop flights. They are many possibilities for connections in Europe and both JFK and ATL can provide connections to all the major cities in the U.S. However, it is interesting to note the eqrliest possible arrivla time is 1230pm into JFK. Traditionally Amazing Race finales land early morning for minimum sighting potential.
NOTE - changes have been made to DL209 to reflect that Delta Airlines does not think it flies on thursday or Saturday. That's a reasonably authoritative source, one much more likely that my source to know what their international flights are.

I would die of joy if it was Atlanta.
But Apskip, puddin told you the race ends Aug 6, or less possibly 7. Believe it.
We need flights on the 6th!!

Peach,
Aug. 6 is a Thursday. Look more carefully and you will see that all 2 nonstop flights Prague to the U.S. on Thursday are mentioned.
