AR19 Primary TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS
Neobie:
Took a look at the original blog. I don't see anything about the blogger being in Ethiopia at all. It's been a little bit of a wild goose chase hasn't it?
So now I'm thinking, since flights are so far and few between, TPTB would have wanted to get everyone to Nairobi together at least. What happens after that doesn't really matter because of the overnight hold-up at Copenhagen.

There used to be a fair bit about the mission she was invoved in there.... I paid attention because of my own Ethiopia experience.
theschnauzers:
What about a producer-supplied charter flight to get out of Malawi? Wouldn't that simplify some of the travel issues.
One thing I'm sure TPTB did this time was to work on avoiding the problems the teams had in getting out of Africa during TARAS. A charter flight (using a smaller aircraft, presumably) would get them out of the scheduling problem. The other reason I think this is a possibility is that TPTB have to get Phil to the European destination ahead of the teams, if possible.
I could see why they'd use an artificial hours of operation if necessary to assure all the teams got to that point without vbeing penalized for the lack of flights. We already had one "artificial" HOO this season (and those have been rare in recent seasons.)
georgiapeach:
But we have sightings on regular flights.
Chateau d If:
Well, the NBO to AMS was a regular flight with a sighting. But getting to NBO by the Lilongwe/Lusaka midnight flight was not sighted and we had to piece that together.
I forget who figured it out. It wasn't me! :tup:
