Neobie:
Agree with TheSchnauzers that the provided flights were probably because of the last minute leg switch-up... They probably also had to keep teams from arriving in Kuala Lumpur too early, before nightfall!

I give them a pass for keeping a travel agency open for the teams in KL. With no other agency open and the no-online-booking rules I don't know how else teams could have made it to Sri Lanka...

The leg 5 preview sure implies that the flights next week are not provided.

They are provided if you go to the designated travel agency.

I HATE the fact that there are so many production-provided flights, but it's because the Malaysian legs weren't planned and they had to have provided flights to and from Malaysia. Hopefully, teams will HAVE TO FIND THEIR OWN FLIGHTS from Sri Lanka to Rome, and throughout the rest of the race. For the first HALF of the Race, teams have been provided flights

Leg 1 (Los Angeles to Guangzhou) Two provided flights (standard for Starting)
Leg 2 (Guangzhou) No travel, as teams stayed in Guangzhou
Leg 3 (Guangzhou to Sabah) Two provided flights
Leg 4 (Sabah to Kuala Lumpur) Three provided flights
Leg 5 (Kuala Lumpur to Colombo) Provided travel agency, still provided flights
Leg 6 (Colombo to Kandy) Teams most likely traveled by train.

This sucks, especially because the order would have changed. Teams would only be slightly less than an hour apart, and the bottom feeders may have had a chance, unless they were forced to take the 5:30pm Malaysian flight (which had a massive delay).



maf:
The flights for leg 5 seems to have been:
Flight 1:
  MI 341 KUL-SIN 21:40 - 22:25   (scheduled 21:40 - 22:35)
  SQ 468 SIN-CMB 22:59 - 00:02+1 (scheduled 23:05 - 00:15+1)

Flight 2:
  MH 179 KUL-CMB 00:29+1 - 01:28+1 (scheduled 23:05 - 23:59)

Flight 3:
  D7 180 KUL-CMB 10:47+1 - 11:34+1 (scheduled 09:20+1 - 10:10+1)

maf:
And the trains from the Fort railway station in Colombo probably were:

Train #1
  Fort - Galle  06:55 - 09:19
This carries everybody but Margie and Luke.

Train #2
  Fort - Galle  14:25 - 16:31
Poor Margie & Luke are 7 hours behind at this point.

This 2.5 hour train ride seems to cost about Rs.65 (~1$).
