AR17 Flight Information

W O W !!
DrRox:
Looks to me that they did the same thing, that they did in Bariloche last year.........TPTB paid a travel agency to stay open. All those connections came up on Travelocity last week......there were really just so many to individually name. I think it just depended on seat availability from whichever European hub to either Dubai or Abu Dhabi. Good call on leaving from the same city, Neobie. I think that probably holds especially true with Russia....after the mess with Terrance and Sarah.

I agree with Dr. Rox, this is incredibly complicated and takes a lot of effort to sort out what really happened. Neobie, I agree with your flights connecting through Amsterdam and Abu Dhabi and the Frankfurt connection for reaching the later Abu Dhabi flight to Muscat (not the Paris one) because the Luthansa flight is really straight through from Frankfurt to Muscat.
However, the third set of flights were probably through Doha:
any of 6 Rossiya or S7 flights from LED to Moscow DME 0700 0655 earliest to 1210 1242 latest
QR869 DME DOH 1451 1837
QR168 DOH MCT 2016 2227 (scheduled 2235)
Neobie:
Chad/Stephanie were on an Etihad flight, though.

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, of course if teams were still at the pit stop when this flight took off, it would be of no value to anyone, which is the case because with a 12 hour minimum pit stop there is no way any team could have finished the lengthy drives in Oman and relatively short tasks much before late afternoon.
In fact there would be a better flight nonstop from MCT to DAC if a team was ready to go for a 315am flight, which I project no team will be:
BG022 MCT DAC 0315 1120
Another flight combination which bites the dust for the same reason, except maybe for Nat and Kat, is the one I had originally listed for leg 9:
9W539 MCT BOM 0035 0435
9W276 BOM DAC 0930 1303
The flights I think match the times that most teams will need them are:
WY311 MCT CGP 0905 1505
Z5 036 CGP DAC 1635 1720
or
EK863 MCT DXB 1045 1530
EK584 DXB DAC 1315 1930
