AA 905 from Miami to Rio de Janeiro, 2359-0927

Indeed, there's a second flight to Rio:

UA 1693 Los Angeles to Houston-Intercontinental/George Bush, 1430-1949
UA 129 Houston-Intercontinental to Rio de Janeiro-Galeao, 2120-0925+1 (arrives 2 minutes ahead of the first flight)

really doubt that they go through Houston. There is a 2-3 hour layover there on United. I have flown that before. there are about 4 flights they can use to get to Miami. I would suspect that the 30 minute head start happens on the leg from Miami to Rio. Time to go check the flights now.

I believe Neobie's flight combo through Miami is correct too. At least the flight to Miami. The connecting flight makes the most sense.

Post by: gabriel15 on June 22, 2015, 12:15:44 PM
Whoever is on the Delta Flight will have this to worry about. I think they are flying to Rio directly, not stopping in Sao Paulo. If that is the case, Delta 61 departs tonight at 10:22PM ET but is often delayed.

It appears flights are Delta #1654 LAX-ATL 1:30-8:59 PM,  Delta # 61 ATL-GIG 10:22PM-8:57AM
American # 252 LAX-MIA 2:00-10:01PM,  American # 905 MIA-GIG  11:59PM-9:27AM
Pretty good making scheduled departures and arrivals a half hour apart.

Post by: theschnauzers on June 22, 2015, 12:51:35 PM
Historically, first legs in South America have usually connected through Miami and Atlanta. Don't know about MIA's current physical terminal layout, but this would suggest teams going through Atlanta will have to go from the main terminal to the new international terminal through the people mover and not have to leave the security zone.

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.

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

Peach that is down right unusual for a "domestic" flight, especially given the was a change of aircraft at a different gate for the international leg.

There was also one flight to Buenos Aires-Ezeiza (Ministro Pistarini) on the 24th:

JJ 3495 GIG to GRU 2:01 pm to 3:58 pm -> QR 771 GRU to EZE 5:46 pm to 8:34 pm

I think Ezeiza is a provided airport that teams will be arrived, like the teams of TAR 21 that arrived in Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport.

Title: Re: TAR 27 Transportation
Post by: Alenaveda on June 28, 2015, 08:38:24 AM
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.

When the entire cast/crew of the next season of the amazing race is on your flight to zambia.....

https://twitter.com/madisonkolofske/status/615445314074378241

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.
Title: Re: TAR 27 Transportation
Post by: Neobie on June 29, 2015, 11:54:48 AM
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.
Title: Re: TAR 27 Transportation
Post by: clemsonbeav on June 29, 2015, 12:23:34 PM
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.

Post by: theschnauzers on June 29, 2015, 01:17:05 PM
IIRC, teams used Ryan Air charters from Jo'Berg to the Victoria Falls area in season one, and used them to return to Jo'Berg to book and fly to Paris.

Do we know teams are going to Lusaka?  Teams could have just as easily flown from Livingstone to JNB.  British Airways 6292 1:30 pm – 3:15 pm LVI-JNB
Title: Re: TAR 27 Transportation
Post by: DrRox on July 04, 2015, 06:21:28 PM
very doubtful that teams were any where near Lusaka........but if they ended a leg in Botswana....they could always fly back to Jo'burg from Kasane......there is scheduled 100+ seat jet service between the two cities.
Title: Re: TAR 27 Transportation
Post by: claude_24hrs on July 05, 2015, 05:12:11 AM
I agree with DrRox, the two major airports in Zimbabwe from Victoria Falls are Bulawayo (440 km/273 mi) or Harare (712 km/445 mi). Both cities have non-stop flights to Johannesburg.

Direct fights available both 7-5 and 7-6 on KLM, though timing may be off for us

MULTIPLE flight options via Frankfurt.

Don't think we can say yet...and that doesn't look at trains either.  A moving Pitstop/night train  might be one way to explain the extra day...

Bottom line, lots more than ONE option.
Title: Re: TAR 27 Transportation
Post by: DrRox on July 07, 2015, 08:05:20 AM
The airport in Katowice is also used as an entry and exit from Krakow. Another way is to fly to Warsaw and then connect to Krakow.

The distance and time frame seem perfect for the long train ride. I was also thinking of the self drive leg, but this seems a little to far to make the teams drive from Den Hagg to Krakow.

Leg 8 in Krakow was on 6 Jul. For a race in Uttar Pradesh (basically the surrounds of Delhi) on 8 Jul, here's the simplest flight:

Based on the Twitter sighting posted by Xarles, and the fact that the Tweeter said the flight was delayed, it looks as though the team was on LH1627 to Munich (delayed 45 minutes), and will probably be on the flight to Delhi that leaves in 50 minutes.

If you're delayed for 45min, it's difficult to make it to a connecting flight. It's only a 1:20 connection time in FRA, but maybe, in case they left on Wednesday, and make the connection, they should be getting to India, somewhere around noon (India time) Thu midnight (India time) Wed-Thu.

If, somehow, some teams were able to make it through Munich, then arrival in India should be 11pm Wednesday, India time.

Having been in the Schengen Area may help with the connecting time. I just saw LH operates an A380 between FRA and DEL, I'm getting jealous!

Title: Re: TAR 27 Transportation
Post by: Plaidmoon on July 09, 2015, 12:10:18 PM
It's about 10:35 PM in Delhi/Agra. Either we missed them or maybe they went somewhere else first and will go to Uttar Pradesh next?

Also, I suspect the Frankfurt teams probably weren't screwed much. Arriving in the middle of the night makes an Hours Of Operation delay likely, allowing trailing teams to catch up.

Actually 21 flights a day from Hong Kong to Anchorage.........but they are all air cargo. Anchorage is a refueling stop across the Pacific. I never found your CP flight to ANC in Flight Stats.......but probably just my poor search skills. Also never found the "Southern Air" flights either....but no big deal

The problem here is that all the sources I checked say the same info (Flightstats, Kayak, Flightaware):

AR1257 GIG-EZE 8.55PM 12.15PM

I'm continuing the discussion here rather than in the racing report thread. I used the historical data in Flight*tats, and that said that the flight was scheduled to leave at 20:20, but left at 20:25 on the 24th of June.

I have seen other instances where the scheduled and actual departure times seem to have been switched on Flight*tats, so that may very well have happened here.

Post by: Alenaveda on October 13, 2015, 03:23:14 PM
Checking back in the first page in this thread, at that moment the flight was scheduled to depart at 8.25pm:

Evening and night yesterday flights:

AR 1253 GIG to AEP 02.54pm 06.08pm
EK 47     GIG to EZE 04.07pm 07.19pm
AR 1257 GIG to AEP 08.25pm 23.45pm (EZE)

However, as you can see although it was originally scheduled to land in Aeroparque the flight ended landing in Ezeiza, what matches with the scenes of the teams running through the terminal A looking for cabs.

The teams departed from San Antonio de Areco in the 6.40pm bus. That bus is a semi-cama; the rows on each side of the lower deck have two seats.:

That's 42 hours of travel from the bus departure to the arrival at Livingstone airport, excluding wait time from the pit stop release until teams reached the orphanage. With the overnight OOH and overnight wait, the leg easily consumed 72 hours or so, before starting leg 5.
