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 released 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:

Okay...it is INSIDE the Mall of the Emirates , not the Dubai Mall....
Could they be at the wrong mall? Or is that where they get their cars? And then drive to the Emirates Mall??

:groan: ummm... we know for sure (100%) that the cars shown in the preview are exiting the Dubai Mall. We know that the racers are seen between the Dubai Lake Hotel and the Dubai Mall (very near where the cars exit). We know that Ski Dubai is located at the Mall of the Emirates (which is not the Dubai Mall). Make up your own scenarios as to what occurs in what order. :lol:

My speculations is that the Teams arrive around 8:20 pm on July 26 (see the first post in this thread by puddin) and head for the black horse (eye witness at 10:30 pm). At the black horse the teams sign up for an early morning (~6 am) date with the world's tallest building. After going to the top of the building and getting a clue, they are off to ....

The commercials I've grabbed so far
when ready ........quality will improve after it processes
puddin:
about the same as the web promo but better
;D
Chateau d If:
Well, we know that they buggered the departure times for this leg of the race :groan:
Here they are in noontime sunshine when we know they finished the previous leg around 4:30 pm.
(:;)
It's probably just to preclude the teams from ever catching the flight through 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.
To get that flight they needed to be at Phnom Penh's airport in time to catch this flight to BKK (from Apskip):
PG932 0937 (actual 7/26) 1046 (actual 7/26)
