Solarius:
I just found this as I was searching twitter. I think it is Indonesian, but I'm have no idea what they're saying.
EDIT: I forgot to include the actual tweet! However, i found someone who could translate it, and it wasn't a spoiler. :(

There are no direct flight to Dhaka on June 8, but a number of 1 stop flights with Emirates, Gulfair, Qatar, Oman and JetAirways
The flight takes a minimum of 7 to 8 hrs.

the guy just got back to me again, he talked to chad & stephanie at roughly 5.30 pm Oman time on June 8. C & S ended up taking the JetAir flight via Mumbai, the other girl-girl team took the qatar airways flight via doha.

JetAir via Mumbai seems to be
9W 539 Dep 12:35 (jun9) Arr 04:35am (jun9) 2hr30 flight time and
9W 276 Dep 9:30am (jun9) Arr 1:30pm (jun9) 3 hr3 flight time (arrive 63 min late)
Qatar via Doha
QR 169 Dep 11:36pm (jun8) Arr 11:48pm (jun8) 1hr12 flight time
earlier Qatar flight on jun8 is at 10am which doesn't fit and I can only find a 9pm departure the next day from Doha onwards...
QR 344 Dep 9:16pm (jun9) Arr 5:19am (jun10) 5hr04 flight time
so the F/F flight looks like a bad mistake, or wrong information at the moment. :( Will keep looking for other flights that would fit for them.

Flying via Doha, it seems it may be possible to land late afternoon in Dhaka on Jun9 if there is a second stopover via Bahrain or Dubai, but that is with Gulf Air or Emirates as far as I can see. Not sure if they code share with Qatar at all, but it seems very messy and unlikely. :duno:
Unless these teams were unexpectedly running well behind the other teams for some reason, because there are better connections earlier in the day, and with flights like this, it would be almost an 100% elimination... One would assume that production would usually reserve a few seats on various flights if it was believed that there could be difficulties procuring flights... :duno:

The person that posted that is in the Philippines. Not sure if it's TARA4 or TAR17, if anything.

It's probably way too late, but I found the Camarines Sur Wakeboarding site at http://www.cwcwake.com/. I didn't see anything to suggest TAR 17 or TARA 4 was there, but they don't seem to have a webcam or anything like that.
