:jam: now the ladle makes sense, puddin. If you follow the footprints in the sand, they seem to be leading toward those trees (possible oasis with water). :lol:

They send them out there with a ladle, how cruel is that? then add the tiny shovel to build the snowman :lol: :lol:
Karma, Brian talked a lot about Karma in their extra clip .

All the other commentators on this have assumed that the direct route PHN BKK and BKK DXB is best, but that is not the case. Notwithstanding the information that teams were spotted on TG517 nonstop from BKK DXB 1818 (actual) 2120 (actual), the smart teams would have done the following:
BKK DEL AI9854 1335(actual) 1635 (actual)
DEL DXB EK6680 1825(actual) 2130(actual), because the schedule has EK6680 arriving 10 minutes earlier than TG517 even though on this day it was 10 minutes later
Now, for the flight from PNH to BKK, is is not smart to wait around in Cambodia when you can reach Bangkok earlier than others have shown. I see no reason other than later release from the pit stop (which I consider unlikely) to not get on:
PG932 0937 (actual 7/26) 1046 (actual 7/26) or on TG581 1000 1105, which Thai Airways shows flying on Sundays but evidence of that on 7/26 is unclear.
If teams are relased too late for those flights, then the afternoon flight PG934 would be OK to conenct to TG517 in Bangkok.

If any teams arrive early enough to Bangkok's BKK then I would direct them to Dubai by way of Kuwait:
Thai Airways TG 519 leaving Bangkok at 1:00 pm and arriving in Kuwait at 4:35 pm.
Then they take Emirates EK 858 leaving at 6:05 pm and arriving in Dubai at 8:40 pm.
Those lucky teams would then be arriving 50 minutes ahead of the teams we know who took the slower flight. :jam:

To slide down the hill on a shovel, the racers likely sit on the blade (flat part) and put the handle between their legs.
I wonder if teams have to search the indoor ski area for all the snowman parts, then build the snowman.

Chateau,
Good work to turn up a flight (TG519) that is logical but my flight reservation system does not acknowlege the existence of, which is a bit weird. Another reputable flight information system does have TG519 so I have to conclude that it did exist.
I took a second look at the connecting points of Delhi, Mumbai, Kuwait and Muscat. The problem that they all have is that the vast majority of flights to Dubai are night, early morning or early evening. There is practically nothing in the middle of the day. With the only possible flights to Bangkok arriving slightly before or after 11am, routings from those places just have to wait until early evening.
