--- Quote from: DrRox on June 22, 2015, 12:54:43 PM ---Possibly AA 901 for Phil from Miami to Rio..........gets him there at 7:30 am.
DL 61 for the winner of the water bike race.........my data base says that it will land 40 minutes early.....plus the 30 minute built in head start......gives that team an hour and 10 minute head start if all that happens.
AA 905 for the rest of the teams.......since AA started getting some of their 787s, they have started replacing flights with 767s with the now extra 777. AA 905 will be a very comfortable flight now. I flew it about 30 times in a 767......hate that plane now.

Not sure on DL 61 for the winner of the bike race, but AA 901 for Phil would be the best bet, Rox. I checked the information you picked up on FlightView and everything checks.
DrRox:
Latest arrival times for Rio.
Checking flight aware........
AA 901 arriving in Rio at approx. 6:05am CDT 8:05am BRT
possible flight with Phil Bertram and Elise
DL 61 arriving in Rio at approx. 6:26am CDT 8:26am BRT
possible flight of first place team in water bike race
AA 905 arriving in Rio at approx. 7:03am CDT 9:03 am BRT
possible flight of remaining 10 teams
Flight Aware arrival times are normally when the planes wheels touch down on the runway....as a reminder. Flight Stats arrival times are normally the arrival of the plane at the gate.
AT Rio airport Terminal 2, clearing immigration can be time consuming, depend on where a team is located in the plane. Clearing customs will be a breeze since teams do not have to wait for baggage.

Delta bent over backwards to help with this.
Petr (camera) was on an exit row aisle seat. Sound also aisle right behind.
The head flight attendant checked in with Petr several times, updating him long the way.
The team was taken care of with a meal...when I asked if I could buy their lunch, they had already been given plenty.
The most interesting thing was that we came into Gate E.. which almost NEVER happens on Delta in my experience . And even more interestingly...the flight to Rio was leaving from the next gate.
There was no need to transfer terminals at all. Not sure where the customs check would have occurred. Coincidence?? :haha
