You just transposed the date wrong, apskip. I doubt (and I think you will agree) that it is highly improbable that teams would fly from Surabaya to Singapore on June 2 and then fly from Singapore to Dhaka on June 3.....here is your orginal post about a connection SIN>DAC on the afternoon of June 2.
--- Quote from: apskip on June 02, 2012, 09:21:00 AM ---OK, if it was arrival Singapore at 925am 2 June, then it makes sense to look at where teams might have gone if they flew onward from SIN (which I expect they did do). Unfortunately, it gets complicated beyond the powers of reasonable analysis.
2pm - 3pm
DAC

That flight is BG 85 2:40pm--4:35 pm. on June 2, 2012.....it does not fly on June 3, 2012, btw.
So it is possible that teams arrived in Dhaka @ approx 5:00 pm on June 2, to finish Leg 4 in late afternoon/early evening.....or better would be to have an HoO and finish middle of the day on June3. Then pit stop till morning of June 4......and most of the day for Leg 5........then pit stop release about noon on June 5. That would give teams two flight options to get to Dubai...
4H 591 5:15pm---8:35pm
EK 585 9:30pm---12:58 am (June 6)
We know from the pilot's tweet that some teams were on the EK 585 flight.....but we just don't know how many.

So excited to have had “The Amazing Race” on the aircraft today from Dhaka to Dubai! Good luck to the racers! #TAR @Ihnatko

This tweet was made at 1:01 am, June 6 in Dubai. So I would assume he had just landed and that would make his flight EK 585 9:30 pm(10:03pm)---12:25am(12:58am). The other earlier flight EK 583 arrived in Dubai @ 2:30 pm June 5. I just dont think that pilot would wait till after midnight (10 hours) to post the tweet.

Well with the two Istanbul tweets today.....we could have teams on following intinaries......
DAC>DXB on June 5, 2012
4H 591 5:15pm---8:35pm
EK 585 9:30pm---12:58 am (June 6)
DXB>IST on June 6, 2012
TK 761 2:35 am---6:34am

I'm thinking that another way the Teams spotted by our tweeting pilot went like this:
Flight Sched'd Take Off Actual Sched'd Ar Actual
June 5th DAC to DXB EK 585 Emirates 9:30 PM 10:03 PM 12:25 AM 12:58 AM
June 6th DXB to KWI EK 853 Emirates 1:45 AM 1:52 AM 2:25 AM 2:31 AM
June 6th KWI to IST TK 771 Turkish Air 7:10 AM 7:20 AM 10:55 AM 10:47 AM

There are no nonstops Phil could catch to get ahead of the teams.
However, he could connect through either Seoul or Beijing:
LAX ICN CA1060 1800 2345+1 connecting to OZ987 0135+2 0220+2
LAX PEK OZ966 1830 2120+1 connecting to CA1081 0300+2 0500+2
This would put Phil hours ahead of the teams, primarily because World Race Productions put teams on flights so that could happen.
This assumes that Phil can get to LAX before 5pm, which may not have been possible.

Considering that CA 1060 and OZ966 did not fly out of LAX on May 26th the race start day it looks like Phil had to travel on the same flights as the Teams.
There is one way he could have arrived ahead by an hour or so:
KE 12 leaving LAX at 11:30 pm and arriving ICN at 4:20 am
KE 893 leaving ICN at 8:45 am and arriving PVG at 9:40 am
But that does not buy very much lead time over Teams getting in at 10:50 am.
I can't find any better way!
