The second flight didn't land until 1:47 p.m., according to the chiron graphic information during the episode. That flight delay clearly changed the dynamic of the leg, because instead of being 90 minutes ahead, the "leading flight" was several hours behind.

I saw it totally differently on TV. Phil was obviously on QF12, which was the diverted flight. It hit the tarmac in Sydney at 959am and the 8 teams were disembarked, through customs and on their way to the train at 1047am as reported in episode 1. If Phil landed at 147pm, how could he have been at Shelly Beach at 1210pm as reported in his video diary? There is no 3 time zone difference around the Sydney area so it's theoretically impossible.
The information you are abut to read has already been analyzed in great detail in the AR18 Transportation Primary Options thread, which I created initially, other debated and got corrected for episode 1 and is recommended to you.The information you are no doubt taking from a significant airline flight information website would show you that QF12 landed in Honolulu at 0159 on 11/21, then took off at 0238 on 11/21 to cross the International Date Line and land on the runway (not gate arrival) Sydney at 0959 11/22, about 90 minutes late and less than a half hour behind QF108 with its 3 teams. Phil then had to scramble to get ahead of those first 3 teams, which is what his Video diary tells us.

I wonder why Phil and the other big wigs didnt travel on Virgin Australia, VA2 leaving LAX at 810 pm. He could have gotten there in plenty of time to do his standups.
