AR19 Primary TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS
maf:
--- Quote from: apskip on October 03, 2011, 08:58:19 AM ---The flight from Taipei to Jakarta was reported to be the next one at 830am. The first flight was CI 5855 departing at 805am, arriving at 1205pm. There was another China Airlines flight scheduled for about 40 minutes later, which I don;t think the teams were on.

I would guess that teams were on CL761 which left at 8:58 and arrived at 13:21.

For the beginning of leg 5, teams will have to get from Krabi to Bangkok. Depending on exactly how AR19 producers have worded the clue, it is quite possible that teams might be taking an overnight bus for the 500 km between Krabi and Bangkok. Here are the possible bus options:
1st class air-conditioned bus 24 Seats 17:30 12:00 Krabi Bus Terminal
2nd class air-conditioned bus 50 Seats 17:30 12:30 Krabi Bus Terminal
2nd class air-conditioned bus 50 Seats 16:20 12:30 Krabi Bus terminal
2nd class air-conditioned bus 50 Seats 16:00 12:30 Krabi Khlong Tom; Buy ticket at Kodak Shop
also: 07:30, 08:00, 16:30, 16:40, 17:00
trip normally takes 12 to 14 hours
Train/Bus combination
Phuket Town depart by bus: 12:00 16:00
Surat Thani station arrive by bus: 16:00 20:00 Surat Thani rail station arrive to change bus to train
Surat Thani station depart by train: 17:38 21:04
Bangkok (Hualamphong) arrive: 05:35 08:35
Flight options depend on where the pit stop for leg 4 is. If close to Krabi, then these are the applicable flights to Bangkok:
TG242 0958 1122
FD3164 1205 1325
TG250 1838 2011
FD3168 1918 2030
If the pit stop is close to Phuket, then there are approximately hourly flights to Bangkok.
Chateau d If:
I think they will take buses:
It's about a 15 hour trip. Bus schedule here.

We never circled back to put all the pieces together in and out of Malawi. Here they are:
June 30 BKK JNB TG703 0108 0700
June 30 JNB LLW SA170 0959 1207
For July 2 after the 2 legs in Malawi I checked whether it was possible to get out from Blantyre to Nairobi. It isn't. There is SA173 to Johannesburg, but it arrives well after the flight below and isn't likely to have been part of the exit route from Africa.
July 2 KL566 NBO AMS 2241 0553+1, which arrived on the morning of July 3rd and offered many possibilities to connect to either Brussels or Copenhagen. There were no nonstops available to either Brussels or Copenhagen departing July 2, but SN453 was a late evening flight to Brussels on July 3.
Note from the editor: I left out July 2 KQ731 1200 1510
Chateau d If:
From tonight's episode (Phuket) we get a glimpse into the future :lol3:
Looks like one or more teams will be on Kenya Airways KQ 116 going from NBO to AMS leaving at 8:10 am and arriving at 3:55pm on July 3rd (it boards at 6:55 am).
It is also a code share with KLM KL 4140 with is consistent with our spoiler passenger who spotted Racers on such a flight on July 3rd.
