--- Quote from: apskip on December 06, 2012, 12:11:18 PM ---MY THEORY OF NONSTOPS FOR FINALES WILL BE THE FOCUS OF THIS POST, WITH BELFAST (BFS) AND SHANNON THE LOGICAL DEPARTURE AIRPORTS (DUBLIN IS TOO FAR).

According to Google maps, Dublin is 103 miles (165 km) from Belfast while Shannon is 239 miles (384 km) from Belfast.
apskip:
Actually, redwings, your data for belfast to shannon and mine too are both way off. The correct number is 177 miles. Dublin is indeed a considerably shorter distance from Belfast.

I was just using what google maps had for the driving directions which isn't the most direct. Anyway, Dublin should be examined as a possible airport to depart from.

NONTSTOP ARRIVAL TIMES FOR TODAY 12/6/12 (see post two above for details of the flights):
UA95 1346
ET135 1502
UA25 1325
BA1 1416
BA3 1804
SO ONE FLIGHT JUST LANDED IN JFK, ONE IS ABOUT TO LAND IN NEWARK AND A SECOND SOON IN JFK. By the time teams clear customs if on the first-arriving flight, there will be only 2.5 hours of daylight in the New York metro area and less in the Boston area. I bet World Race Productions was expecting the Boston flight to be on time and give them another 2.5 hours daylight for filming by using that route.

I have reconsidered the viability of Dublin based on the above input from redwings8831. Her are the flights nonstop to the U.S. today:
ATL DL177 0840 1240 (over 1 hour ago)
EWR UA23 0900 1140 (over 2 hours ago)
JFK EI105 1100 1342 (just landed)
JFK DL91 1109 1332 (just landed)
PHL US723 1112 1347 (just landed)
ORD EI125 1307 1538
BOS EI137 1359 1539
JFK EI109 1547 1757
JFK EI10 1606 1754
