the schnauzers,
Sure, they is about a dozen flight combination that all have one thing in common:
they depart from Prague on August 6 in the MORNING and they arrive Las Vegas before midnight.
Since those did not fit the parameters I was using (arrival between 10am and 2pm August 7), I discarded them. If a flight arrived before 10am, like MX990 from Mexico City, I ignored it but I can tell you that there was only the one through JFK transferring to Newark, then goign Newark nonstop to Lsa Vegas that I recall doing the same.

It is clear that the ep. 11 finish time for Brain/Ericka is in the dawn of Aug. 6. I am going to guess that with sunrise at 536am they finished around 5am. With a 8 hour pit stop, they would release at 1pm. Getting to the Prague airport 6 miles from downtown wouild take maybe 20 minutes at that time of day. With an allowance of 1 hour for getting tickets, through security and boarding, they could get a flight after about 1420. I expect that World Race Productions has edicted that all teams take the same flight combination from among these 4 flight combinations to get from Prague to Las Vegas:
Leaving Prague at either 1550 or 1625 and going nonstop to Paris-CDG on CSA 4766 or AF4907 or their codeshare equivalents and arriving at 1735 or 1815
Connecting at CDG to AF8 or several codeshare equivalents to go nonstop to JFK, departing 1910 arriving 2110, then an overnight transfer to Newark, followed by an early morning departure from Newark to various places. Having to transfer from JFK to EWR in the middle of the night on a bus is cruel and unusual punishment, so whether teams are required to do that depends on WRP's view of this (diabolical sneaky way of tiring teams out or not)
Here is the list of airport codes in alphabetical order for the codes (not the cities), the flights taken to get to them and the connecting flight from there to Las Vegas:
CLT - dep. EWR UA1581 0545 0646 to US1789 1120 1258 (actual arrival was early at 1231)
IAH - dep. EWR CO611 0545 0812 to CO197 1150 1307 (actual arrival was 1304)
MSP - dep. EWR DL2721 0606 0811 to DL 2726 1150 1322 (actual arrival was late at 1351)
The rest that do not use to PRG to CDG to JFK connection are:
SEA - PRG FRA LH5261 1335 1505 to FRA SFO LH9186 1725 1953 to SFO SEA UA52 UA52 2245 0045 to SEA LAS AS604 1040 1307 (actual arrival was 1258)
I know that Chateau thinks the quickest route through Mexico City is the way to go, but my perspective is obviously different. We'll see in one week if either of us is right.
Chateau d If:
Mexico City?
No. Read what is in the timeline table: For August 7th
Neobie's Prague to Frankfurt, LH 3267: 0600-0710 then Frankfurt to Chicago, UA 945: 0825-1033 then Chicago to Las Vegas, UA 551: 1153-1339
And until something better comes along, that's what I will stick with, thank you very much.
