I don't know whether yours is better than mine or not because I used a series of assumptions to get there. It's certainly possible that they took 73 minutes longer in the total time for Dubai II tasks and transportation, but obviously I do not think so. We'll see when the pit stop release times are available at the beginning of the show Sunday night. However, my "so what" comment still applies. If they can't get that flight, they jsut get the Air France flight combination. They arrive ahead of the other teams pretty much for sure, although the amount varies with which flight or flights they get.

When Meghan and Cheyne checked in, Phil's watch (from the insider clips) :waves:

Why are we back to all Amsterdam flights again? What happened to coming in and getting the cars in Bremen as an option?? ???
theschnauzers:
Giving how most of the pit stops this season have been something other than the standard 12-hour pitstops, there's no reason to assume that the pit stop had to be at least 12 hours; it could have been less than 12 hours.
My guess would be that the pit stop release would have been used to get Phil on that 12:12 am flight, ahead of the Racers, and that the release time was chosen to maximize the likelyhood of the teams would get flights that would have the teams using the same later flight.
I seriously doubt that a team would likely have enough time to make a flight that departs 70 minutes after release from a pitstop.
Caelestor:
Why transfer when there are already non-stop flights to Amsterdam? I'd avoid transfers at all cost (if you miss the flight, then you're screwed).
@theschanuzers: I believe the teams will make the 8:00 flights and camp out at the airport for a while.

Peach, As I am the leading proponent of going to Bremen, I guess the answer is that the information has been on this thread but ignored by everyone so even I decided to ignore it. The flight combination stands as:
LH631 DXB FRA 0125 0555
LH340 FRA BRE 0700 0755 and those flights were pretty much on-time Wednesday July 29.
That would fit only Cheyne/Meghan.
There are no flight combinations for Maria/Tiffany, Sam/Dan, Gary/Matt and Brian/Ericka going to Bremen that are competitive with the ones to Amsterdam in their time frame.
I did not earlier address the possibility of a later flight, because I did not know that Nate/Herb would need it. There is an initial flight SQ490 to Istanbul 0410 0740. In Istanbul is the choice of 3 paths, two through CDG; the one I like best is through FRA, LH2085 0825 1035 connecting in Frankfurt with LH344 1320 1415 arriving 10 minutes late on July 29.
