--- Quote from: apskip on November 27, 2012, 03:51:05 PM ---With Maun Botswana identified as the next destination point for AR22, the following one should be hypothesized. There are many possibilities within Africa. However, my bet is on this combination for Nov. 29:

Maun to Johannesburg 4Z8301 1400 1540 or BP211 1420 1600
connecting to
SA224 JNB GRU 1810 0030+1

Thanks for the data! I'm almost positive we'll have to say Bemvindos & Adeu, Brasil. As TARflyOnTheWall said, countries do get rewarded, and Brazil is doing it now! Brazil went from A Corrida Milionaria to TARLA and now it is The Amazing Race Brasil!

apskip:
I have taken another look at dates most likely for leaving Maun and going across the pond nonstop to Sao Paulo from Johannesburg. Follow this logic:

Teams cannot arrive before Nov. 26 (yesterday) into Maun if flying nonstop HKG JNB on either:
 CX749 2350 0637+1 (today, Nov. 27th)
 SA287 2347 0713+1

Then the choices to Maun JNB MUB were:
BP212 1140 1320
4Z8310 1155 1345

I expect that this leg or two legs will take 48 hours in Maun. That means these flights back MUB JNB:
BP211 1420 1600
4Z8301 1400 1540

There is the rub, as there is no late afternoon flight to Sao Paulo on Thursdays. Teams will have a layover there until Friday morning Nov. 29:

JNB GRU SA222 1010 1630

georgiapeach:
There is NO confirmation for Sao Paulo OR Brazil at this time. We need more evidence first...

theschnauzers:
Peach, it is possible that teams may have to use Sao Paulo as a connection point to somewhere else in South America.

IIRC, when teams last took a flight out of Brazil to South Africa, the scheduled flights were 6 days a week; but teams had to use different ways of getting to Sao Paulo to fly out. I would think that if the Race is going the obverse way this time, then they would need that route in order to make a connection to another location in South America.

I fully understand we're all speculating at the moment, but it does seem that a south of the Tropic of Cancer route until the last leg or so is falling into place. I dunno but to me it feels right.
