TAR 19 Speculation and Discussion *of SPOILERS*
Prophet:
The best I can remember teams arrived in Phuket the evening of the 24th and probably transported somewhere else near there and did not start the leg until the 25th. An early to late afternoon check in on the 25th means a early morning release on the 26th if there is the traditional 12hr pitstop. (There may not be though)
From Phuket teams could get to JNB by connecting through Bangkok, Singapore or both. There are other options but I thought those were the best. (They may have gone right under RFF's nose in Singapore (:;) )
Anyway, arriving in Jburg by noon or early afternoon on the 26th they run the leg from there and check in that night. Teams are released the morning of the 27th and have time for another leg in the South Africa area. The problem is that teams would be released probably in the wee hours of the 28th and the flight that arrived this morning in Malawi departed from JNB at 10AM on the 30th.
Somewhere in here there are at least two longer than usual pitstops.

Or JoBurg was a connection point.
I'm wondering if it's just a coincidence that the safari company in Malawi in located on the Songwe River; and that the first pit stop ever was at Songwe village in Zambia, which was reached by the teams going through JoBurg.
Could there have been a leg similar to the first leg ever, and then one or more legs or connections to get the teams to Malawi? It's all speculation, but I do find the place name coincidence to be curious.

I want everyone who is kindly watching Tweets and FB posts and blogs to be awre that NOTHING is confirmed yet...except I do believe teams were due into LiLONGWE yesterday. Could that have been changed to today? yes.
BUT I am not yet convinced that teams came there via Joburg... This info is not yet confirmed, and for that matter Joburg itself remains speculative,
So please. Continue to work both ways...
Assume they could be leaving Lilongwe today for ?? Nairobi OR Joburg, or again tomorrow.
I still think a Lilongwe to SO Africa leg remains a possibility, as does a Lilongwe to wherever via Nairobi.
Continue to watch Lilongwe, Nairobi, Cape Town and Joburg, and even Victoria Falls. They could be heading any direction.
Thanks everyone!!
georgiapeach:
Okay...several things.
ARR into Lilongwe has been confirmed as being So Africa airlines from Joberg on 6/30.
So we need to reconsider that they went direct Phuket >> Joberg as our next leg or legs. We really need to keep looking for any info from here, so watch those travel blogs and photo sites!
ALSO, with incoming info re events 6/30 and 7/1 and possibly MORE, seems fairly certain this is a double leg in Malawi.
Flights out of Malawi are best via Nairobi....could we still see a Kenyan leg?
Maybe....
Chateau d If:
I'm liking either of these destinations for Monday morning:
