--- Quote ---The flights are a bit confusing as according to the episode they flew two flights via Melbourne and Sydney.
The only practical flight to Melbourne from Christchurch is on NZ 891 departing at 6:05am and arriving at 7:20am.
From Melbourne to Sydney there is a host of flights. Jetstar JQ 504 departs at 9:05am and landed at 10:52am with a 22-min delay. It's possible that this flight was overbooked, leaving some times to get on either Virgin Australia or Qantas which departed at 10am and landed at 11:26am and 11:35am respectively.
We know from RFF they then flew via Ho Chi Minh City to Siem Reap.
What I don't understand is why teams flew such a roundabout route, as they were flights from Melbourne to Singapore and Bangkok to Siem Reap. They could have even flew to Auckland and from there take a flight via Singapore (they flew Auckland - Singapore - Siem Reap in TAR 13).

VH772 SYD-SGN, VH815 SGN-REP

here
secondly according to this, you are wrong and SGN is the closest and why on earth would Bangkok/Singapore be the closest the flight schedules are basically going back over eachother and SGN is more streamlined
ALSO
SIN-REP=13 flights weekly
(3 Jetstar Asia, 13 Silkair)
BKK-REP=56 flights weekly
(21 Cambodia Angkor Air, 35 Bangkok Airways)
SGN-REP=48 flights weekly
(28 Cambodia Angkor Air, 20 Vietnam Airlines)
HOWEVER this in no way means there is an advantage of SGN over BKK BECAUSE VN/K6 codeshare widely (because K6 is owned by VN) and that does not happen to the same extent in BKK

I wasn't saying via Sydney or Melbourne, but via Auckland. I was wondering why they would route teams via Australia heck they could have flown out on SQ 928 to Singapore and then from there flown to Siem Reap.

I think you mean SQ282/286??? there aren't any SQ928s that I can find lol.
Also TARAus is sponsored by Virgin so they would obviously cross the ditch on them for a discount and like i said there are barely 2 flights daily on SIN-REP it's useless to do so

Sorry SQ 298...
Interesting fact Virgin and SIA have code-share agreements. I remember my sister flew Virgin to Oz once...
