theschnauzers:
My guess based upon prior seasons is that if teams flew out of Santiago, they used one of those cities as a connection and not as the destination. It's hard to be sure because the show has used long-distance self-driving into Argentina a couple of times after visiting Chile, and that also is a possibility.
I do know Bert loves filming in the Andes, and took teams to southern Argentina in several Races because of the absolutely scenic nature of the Andes as a backdrop.
IIRC, Sao Paulo seems to be the big connection point for the airlines for international travel whether to the Americas, Europe, Africa, Oceania, or Asia. I haven't done any searching, just pointing out what options have been used in the past. In fact, when teams last flew out of South America (Peru) they connected in Santiago to fly across the south Pacific. So I have no idea what's more probable at this point, unlike last season where Bora Bora was a big clue that gave us leads to several later legs. (We were doing fine until they went to Europe rather than South America last time.)
claude_24hrs:
As dpe stated, Iberia airlines have flights between Santiago and Madrid, with a plausible 13 hours of flight time. LAN Airlines has also flights between these said flight cities as well.
Here's the best flight from Santiago to Lisbon (Leg 3 might started on June 14th and ended on 15th):
IB6830 (SCL-MAD), 1118-0623+1 (scheduled 1120-0620+1)
TP1023 (MAD-LIS), 0740+1-0748+1 (scheduled 0735+1-0750+1)
DrRox:
Well there could also be TAP and TAM connections via SP and Rio. Also the possibility, similar to last race on Botswana to Suisse.
Phil could take a very direct route and teams could be directed to a more obtuse route.
Declive:
I don't really think they departed from Santiago , since Leg3 must have been outside Chile.
Jimmer:
A viable connection in London to match the poster being in London a few days back would be
Buenos Aires to London
BA244 1300-0620+1 (actual 1309-0613+1)
and London to Lisbon
BA500 0735-1015 (actual 0735-1018)
