I'm pretty certain Phil was on this flight, 19 Nov:
QF 46 from Christchurch to Sydney, 1430-1555
JQ 37 from Sydney to Bali, 1735-2100
For the teams, Perth's pretty much the best option to Bali, arriving tomorrow morning (20 Nov). A connection through Singapore is possible, but it arrives a few hours later. Plenty of ways to get to Perth:
DJ 63 from Christchurch to Melbourne 1600-1750 (scheduled 1608-1735)
QF 653 from Melbourne to Perth 2033-2129 (scheduled 2015-2120) *Team FatherSon spotted*
DJ 697 from Melbourne to Perth 2131-2247 (scheduled 2000-2105) *Team NotAsian spotted*
QZ 8411 from Perth to Bali (scheduled 0450-0830)
EK 419 from Christchurch to Sydney 1653-1808 (scheduled 1655-1815)
DJ 73 from Christchurch to Sydney 1700-1831 (scheduled 1700-1830)
DJ 569 from Sydney to Perth 2013-2157 (scheduled 2000-2200)

Everyone's a little confused by the short amount of time in Christchurch, but could it simply be because of a delayed flight?
The plan was to get teams from Tahiti to Christchurch on TN 101, 17 Nov 0805-1255. They'd then connect to a domestic flight, arriving in Christchurch sometime between 4.05pm and 5.20pm. Sunset's at 8.33pm, so there's still plenty of time to film up the leg, ending just around sunset. Phil can then take a flight out the next morning (Christchurch to Melbourne 0630-0820, Melbourne to Bali 0920-1225, connections through Sydney or Brisbane possible too) and have the afternoon for his stand-ups. The teams leave in the evening for Bali, arriving the morning of 20 Nov.
But a delay on the Tahiti flight delays it by two and a half hours. Meaning the original Auckland-Christchurch tickets teams booked are void, and they have to scramble for tickets again. This results in teams having to take flights like the 7.30pm (it's 7.30pm departure, not 7.30pm arrival), arriving in Christchurch at 9.04pm, too late for any outdoor tasks.
So everything's pushed over to the next morning, and Phil misses his flight, giving us his late arrival in Bali (photo via Leafsfan and Itsmekrissybebe) after his replacement flight from Christchurch via Sydney to Bali, arriving at 9.06pm. Sorry Phil, no time padding to do your stand-ups this leg!
Since keeping teams in New Zealand for too long would screw up the schedule even further, I think they shortened the Pit Stop (or, as some may have suggested, eliminated it completely) so they can make the flights at around 4pm to Australia. Note that they did not arrive before 2.30pm, or they'd be on the same flight as Phil and arrive a day early.
So I don't think the short Pit Stop time in Christchurch was planned!

I wonder if straggling teams took a later Perth to Bali flight:
GA 727 from Perth to Bali: 0715-1100
Or if they did this convoluted route through Singapore?
NZ 805 from Christchurch to Brisbane: 1540-1630 or
DJ 73 from Christchurch to Sydney: 1700-1830 and DJ 989 from Sydney to Brisbane: 2000-2030
SQ 246 from Brisbane to Singapore: 2345-0545
VF 241 from Singapore to Bali: 0725-1005 or
GA 841 from Singapore to Bali: 0750-1035
Anyone else surprised that DadSon and NotAsian are in the front?

Exploring ways to get into Vietnam from around 11am in Bali:
TO HANOI
Bali to Singapore 1255-1530, Singapore to Hanoi 1605-1815 (very short connection)
Bali to Kuala Lumpur 1355-1650, Kuala Lumpur to Hanoi 1915-2130
TO HO CHI MINH CITY
Bali to Singapore 1255-1530, Singapore to HCMC 1605-1705 (very short connection)
Bali to Singapore 1300-1535, Singapore to HCMC 1740-1845
Bali to Kuala Lumpur 1310-1605, Kuala Lumpur to HCMC 1710-1805 (short connection)
Bali to Kuala Lumpur 1355-1650, Kuala Lumpur to HCMC 1850-1945
So no matter what (there may be more flights) teams arrive in Vietnam at the night of 21 Nov.
Something earlier will allow for:
Bali to Singapore 0915-1150, Singapore to HCMC 1315-1415
And then possibly HCMC to Hanoi, 1525-1730
or
Bali to Singapore 0915-1150, Singapore to Da Nang 1355-1420
And then possibly Da Nang to HCMC 1605-1715 or Da Nang to Hanoi 1535-1645
