Apskip, on the Muscat to Dhaka flight, I have a better option than you have given in post one.
They should try to get Swiss flight LX 243 leaving MCT at 11:35 pm on June 8th and arriving at 12:45 am in Dubai on June 9th.
Then they connect to Emirates flight EK 582 leaving DBX at 2:00 am and arriving at 8:40 am at DAC on June 9th.
There is no better way. :snicker:

Chateau,
It all depends on where you draw the line for earliest possible departure. I assumed a 12 hour pit stop that ends at perhaps 10am and allows teams to catch any flights after midnight starting June 9. If you go back from that, how far back should you go? I would argue that your departure time makes little sense in terms of fitting a one hour earlier pit stop release, which may of may not be feasible.
If you want to go back to a 6pm departure (18 hour pit stop starting around 10pm and ending 4pm), here is what is possible through Bahrain starting June 8 and arriving June 9:
GF565 1819 1900 MCT BAH
GF250 2027 0445?+1 BAH DAC
As you and I both know, there are not a lot of efficient options available.

Thanks Apskip, but I had already fixed it. You should read the whole thread!
Now why are you talking about a 1310 flight from ARN to LED? That is for the wrong day of travel. We have from spoilers that the date was June 5th. And on June 5th there is no 1310 flight from ARN to LED.

Quite true! So that may be the flight taken by teams who are ahead of Steph and Chad.

A little side tidbit about that SAS flight....SK732.......Sunday through Friday, it is a 1310 departure. Only on Saturdays is it a 1000 departure.

ME: you were flying on June 5 out of Stockholm? Was that SK 732 arr 133PM? .

Just below are my original assumptions. The only way you get 6/5 departure from Stockholm is to have an extended pit stop back in Accra so that teams depart Accra evening of 6/2
leg 4 dep. 5/31 ACC FRA
NOTE that a 6/1 departure does not work, so I have backed this up to 5/31
LH567 2203 0603+1
6/1 FRA ARN
SK2636 1216 1416
6/1 ARN KRN
HK3114 2020 2137
leg 5 KRN ARN
Note: I expect this to be on 6/3, not one day later
6/3 SK1307 1435
OK, so the adjustment would need to be to this:
leg 4 ACC FRA LH567 2215 0640+1
FRA ARN LH3000 0744+1 0939+1 or LH3002 0955+1 1148+1
ARN KRN DY3067 1042+1 1030+1 or SK1042 1105 1239+1 RED FLAG: There was no later flight, the one that connects with the 0935 flight from Frankfurt to Arlanda, on either 6/2 or 6/3. That essentially means that this scenario is impossible.
Somebody smarter than me needs to make all this fit because the only way it does is to depart from Accra on 5/31 and get to Kiruna on 6/1. If that is the case, teams are not going to arrive back in Arlanda Airport on 6/5.

We have spoiler photos of teams arriving in Arlanda on 6/1. No doubts.
