TAR 35 (formerly "36") Transportation
Zack.:
How sure are we that they flew into SGN for this leg today? We're back to "normal" but even without the impact of COVID I'm not sure they willing to subject teams to either a 3 hour taxi ride or a public bus.
Teams could've flown directly into Can Tho yesterday on either of these:
(6/18)
VN 610 BKK HAN 1155 1400
VN 1207 HAN VCA 1625 1840, where they likely get stopped by hours of operation
VN 618 BKK HAN 1905 2055
VN 1201 HAN VCA 0705 0855 (+1)
If they flew BKK to SGN there's several flights throughout the day and several busses through all hours to get to Can Tho (to say nothing of charter busses or vans)
Zack.:
SPEC-
Given the timing of sightings in Jaipur (particularly the one of teams queued up in the morning, my best guess on flights is:
FD655 SGN DMK 1553 1730 (6/21)
FD130 DMK JAI 1954 2219 (6/21)
I'm assuming teams were bunched by hours of operation (TAR 31 in Laos) or otherwise held up overnight (like TAR 30 in Tangier or TAR 32 in Manaus) before actively racing the morning of 6/22.
If a team missed this flight, the next best flight combination is
VN979 SGN BOM 1755 2148 (6/21)
AI651 BOM JAI 0530 0715 (6/22).
The only issue is AI651 was cancelled on 6/22. :'( If I recall the rules of flights now, teams can rebook tickets if their flight got canceled, meaning they could still get into Jaipur by quickly booking:
6E 5098 BOM JAI 0410 0559 (6/22),
I5 761 BOM JAI 0649 0831 (6/22), or
6E 5281 BOM JAI 0805 0952 (6/22)

Flights from LAX
June 14, 2023: China Airlines – Flight 7, 12:00 midnight
EVA Air – Flight 11 12:15 am
Xoruz:
With regards to Cologne, there are many options and not much info right now. There are direct flights to Frankfurt out of Delhi and Mumbai and teams could drive or take a train to Cologne. There are also Lufthansa flights to Cologne via Munich out of the same cities.
Edit: With the Rüdesheim am Rhein sighting, it looks like they flew into Frankfurt.

Thanks Leafs. Was there options to continue on China Airlines from TPE to BKK or would they have had to default to using the EVA flight we've already noted?
Also looks like both flights arrived in TPE at the same time?? How odd.
