I have to admit that I do not understand why if teams were spotted going to Zurich Tuesday, they wouldn't after one more leg in Switzerland have been on their way to wherever at least one day before today. However, after 5 years of working with her on RFF, I trust Peach totally and know that her Rio inclination is based on special knowledge. So, she emailed me from advance TARCON XVII activities and asked me to provide some flight information from Zurich to Rio. Not only will I do that, but i will also take you back to the U.S. East Coast from Rio.
There are 4 possibilities that started about 45 minutes ago:
LX656 ZRH CDG 1640 1755 connecting with JJ8055 CDG GIG 2000 0455+1
AF5107 ZRH CDG 1750 1915 connecting with AAF442 CDG GIG 2320 0735+1
TP927 ZRH LIS 1905 2055 connecting with TP185 LIS GIG 2330 0730+1
LX92 ZRH GRU 2240 to 0745+1. From GRU to GIG takes 1 hour with min. one flight every hour
Once teams need to get back to the U.S., say on Monday, here are the nonstop possibilities to the East Coast (I was surprised to find a nonstop to Houston but have ignored anything west of Atlanta):
GIG MIA JJ8084 0743 1550
CO8531 2158 0345+1
AA904 2226 0426+1
GIG ATL DL060 2224 0530+1
GIG CLT DL801 2250 0600+1
GIG IAD JJ8282 2350 0624+1
GIG JFK AA236 2330 0640+1
There are no nonstop flights to Orlando, to Boston or to Philadelphia. Dr. Rox, Continental does fly from GIG to EWR some days of the week, but not on crucial Mondays so I did not include it on the above list.
