AR19 Primary TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS
Neobie:
The following flights are the best combinations to leave Lilongwe on the 3rd, all arriving in Copenhagen after the Hours of Operation have lifted. Teams missing the flight we have through Lusaka, Nairobi and Amsterdam will have to wait more than 13h for the next flight:
Lilongwe to Nairobi (1315-1625)
Nairobi to Amsterdam (2230-0540)
Amsterdam to Copenhagen (0655-0820)
If tickets are sold out or teams happen to be so incompetent they fall more than 14h behind the lead team, they can catch up with this itinerary with risky connections:
Lilongwe to Addis Ababa (1505-1945)
Addis Ababa to Bahrain (2255-0025)
Bahrain to Frankfurt (0115-0640)
Frankfurt to Copenhagen (0735-0855)
The safer itinerary for these incompetent teams is:
Lilongwe to Addis Ababa (1505-1945)
Addis Ababa to Paris (2345-0630)
Paris to Copenhagen (0730-0920)
Only this third itinerary is plausible for teams who wish to bump into the spoiler travelling from Ethiopia to Italy. But this means we'd have to assume that they fell 14h or more behind the lead teams in Malawi.
As mentioned above, the fourth itinerary that leaves Lilongwe on 2 Jul would mean Hours of Operation begin at the very contrived time of noon, lasting until the next morning. So either 1) some teams are so fast we'd need a crazy Hours of Operation or 2) some teams are so slow they fall way behind. It's pretty difficult to reconcile the Milan spoiler...
Chateau d If:
How was it that we got the date for that Ethiopia to Italy spoiler flight? Can we review that, because I could not reconstruct it from what I could find.
Neobie:
I don't think we have a date for that spoiler, so I looked at flights, both direct and connecting, from Ethiopia to Italy between 2 and 4 Jul.
If the flight where the spoiler met the teams was on 2 Jul, they would arrive in Copenhagen at 11.05am on 3 Jul, too early for a normal overnight Hours of Operation. If the flight was on 3 Jul (or later), teams would arrive after 9.20am on 4 Jul, too late to make the Hours of Operation bunching, and would also have better options than travelling through Addis Ababa (for example, Lilongwe-Nairobi-Amsterdam-Copenhagen, arriving 8.20am on 4 Jul).
Chateau d If:
That's a good bit of research! We may have to wait for the show to figure it out. :duno:
