I have been noticing the same things that you are. I think that production is playing pretty fast and loose with the stated departure times on the telecasts.
Btw.....you may want to edit above.....its the Swedish/NORWEIGAN border....not the Finnish border.
Production either told teams to get off at Uppsala and take taxis or they all found out on the train ride. Since there was only that one flight on Saturday......my guess is that it was Production's instructions.
I could see Production filming the Accra departure times, when the teams are painting the school. Then taking them back to the hotel to get ready for flight and sending off from the hotel on some kind of staggered start then. Jonathan and Connor obviously arrived at the airport before the 430 pm opening of the Lufthanza office, but I really dont think they were let go from the pit stop at 10:15 am. It just doesnt seem to give them enough time to paint the school, even if they hauled them out there at sunup.

From the EXIF data on the CBS photos - I have them painting the school from about 07:30 to 09:00 local time on May 31.
Neobie:
Thanks guys for your insights!
Apskip, I'm not referring to what time the flights teams took out of Ghana, but that the show told us that Jonathan/Connor left the Asebi Pit Stop at 10.15am. This is strange because sunrise is just a couple of hours before, and they must have painted the school between sunrise and departure. A 36h Pit Stop is impossible because we are very sure teams arrived in Ghana on the morning of 29 May (spoiler) and departed on the evening of 31 May (shot of tickets). Like DrRox, I'm feeling that the departure timings we were given at the beginning of Episode 4 were wrong.
The departure shots from "Asebi" in Episode 4, however, are definitely not from anywhere near the school - there's too much traffic and infrastructure to be out there in the wilderness.
Yes, we have noted that teams got off at Uppsala in the Episode Thread. (This is also reflected in the long timeline posted.) Good independent observation anyway!
Timeline edited for stupid Norwegian-Finnish mistake.
Neobie:
Hey guys, do you think the teams stayed in two different locations for the two Pit Stops in Ghana? Compare the background in the two confessional areas for the two legs: Ghana II with a cage and Ghana I with the ocean (La Palm Royal)... In Episode 4 Jonathan/Connor depart from in front of the cage, and a lion statue.
Neobie:
Found the Leg 3 Pit Stop hotel: Marina Hotel in Dodowa. Which makes the 10.15am release for Connor/Jonathan plausible.
