TAR 27 Transportation

<< < (6/15) > >>

Alenaveda:
I wouldn't rule out AEP as a departing option. If teams were returning on bus to Bs. As., the distance by taxi between the Retiro Bus Terminal and AEP is only 15/20 minutes depending on traffic. They could easily flight from GRU from there and make the connections required on Sao Paulo.
EZE on the other hand is around 45/60 minutes away from the Bus Terminal.

Alenaveda:
As nobody seemed to research this.

Buses to San Antonio de Areco:

Nueva Chevallier 06.05am 08.10am
Aut. San Juan  07.00am 08.50am
Nueva Chevallier 09.30am 11.30am

Buses to Buenos Aires:

Nueva Chevallier 1.15pm 3.20pm
Nueva Chevallier 3.10pm 4.55pm
Pullman Gral Belgrano 4.10pm 6.00pm
Nueva Chevallier 5.20pm 7.25pm
Nueva Chevallier 6.40pm 8.35pm

According to another tweet, this person had just traveled to South Africa.  She posted this at 11:02 AM South African time.

Possible flights:
South African 62 left Johannesburg at 10:47 (and possibly she posted this on the plane while taxiing), arrived 12:45 in Lusaka.
South African 64 left Jo'burg at 13:16 (so she might have posted this in the waiting area, having arrived early--this seems more plausible IMO), arrives 15:11.

Working backwards, teams probably took this flight from Sao Paolo:
South African 223
Dep GRU 06:20PM BRT 6/28
Arr JNB 07:25AM SAST 6/29

Then pure spec, but then one of these flights from EZE to GRU
Aero Lineas Argentinas flight 7702
Dep 6:45 am
Arr 9:30 am

or

LAN Airlines flight 4540
Dep 6:55 am
Arr 9:40 am

EDIT: If the teams were spotted at Victoria Falls at 14:00, then perhaps they took the earlier flight arriving at 12:45.

Neobie:
Lusaka is still quite a distance from Victoria Falls; I think they would have used Livingstone Airport, like in TAR 1.

For any team arriving in Buenos Aires after noon on 27 Jun, this is the best itinerary:
LA4941 from Buenos Aires EZE to Sao Paulo, 28/1230-1520
SA223 from Sao Paulo to Johannesburg, 1800-29/0740
SA48 from Johannesburg to Livingstone, 1040-1230

Teams missing the last flight can take this flight 15min behind:
BA6291 from Johannesburg to Livingstone, 1100-1245

Here's a less efficient route departing Buenos Aires earlier, but which will get teams connecting to Livingstone on the same flight:
AR1300 from Buenos Aires EZE to New York JFK, 27/2300-28/0905
SA204 from New York JFK to Johannesburg, 1115-29/0805

And in memory of the Gutsy Grannies:
AR1300 from Buenos Aires EZE to New York JFK, 27/2300-28/0905
AA100 from New York JFK to London LHR, 1800-29/0620
SA235 from London LHR to Johannesburg, 1900-30/0715
SA48 from Johannesburg to Livingstone, 1040-1230
Which arrives 24 hours after the original flight.

clemsonbeav:
That's true...it's a 6.5 hour drive from Lusaka to the falls, or an hour flight...going straight to Livingstone probably is more plausible.  Perhaps the author of the tweet will confirm.
