AR17 Flight Information
DrRox:
Well I would assume that they could/would book before boarding the train with internet connection.....or Production has seats blocked....but that does give them about 1:15 min to make flight.
For some reason, I thought that Arlanda was south of Stockholm, not north........duh?
I just wonder if that flight was 14 minutes late taking off because they waited for such a large party...about 30 people at least

Well, I must admit that I am looking at a Thursday in July next year (there are no historical timetables as far as I know at sj.se). And then there is a night train from Boden (#91) leaving at 17:12 with arrival in Uppsala at 05:28.
Chateau d If:
It looks like there is a complication in the train schedules that make a difference of a few minutes when a passenger get arrive at Arlanda.
If teams left Narvik on Thursday June 3rd then they can get to Arlanda at 9:09 am after changing trains in Gavle.
If teams left Narvik on Friday the 4th then they can change trains in Uppsula and get to Arlanda at 9:01 am (different train from Thursday).
If it was the June 3rd start then they had to wait a day for their flight. That's hard to swallow since there could have been something else to take on June 4th to St. Petersburg. So I would suspect that we have an extra day in Narvik before the leg starts. And somehow the teams manage to make their flights on Friday with only a hour at the airport. Rox's idea of booking on the train seems to help in that regard!

Yes, it is complicated. And I must admit that when I look at historical times via the DB site I get the same results as you guys do. It is only when I look at next years schedule and guess that the same applied last year I find good connections. That guess may very well not be valid. :groan:
But I assume we might find out later tonight. Or we might not, sometimes they are very light on travel details in the show.
DrRox:
Probably a stupid question, maf. Does your alternative route have sleeper cars like in the video?
