Top 3 teams used this route:
Vilnius Warsaw 0625 0650 LO774
Warsaw Vienna 0740 0905 LO223
Vienna Dubrovnik OS7059 1010 1120
The route that was altered by the late arrival in Prague for TK and Rachel was:
Vilnius Prague 0600 0635 OK871(note: actually 0720 arrival)
Prague Vienna OS704 0840 0945
Vienna Dubrovnik OS731 1315 1440 (Note: not valid per my sources, but OK per Austrian Airlines current schedule)

OK818 1200 1335 PRG ZAG
OU662 1445 1540 ZAG DBV
Azaria/Hendekea probably got something like this through Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Zagreb:
TE460 0730 0905 VNO AMS
LH4673 1040 1150 AMS FRA
OU419 1430 1615 FRA DBV
20 Extended 36 hour pitstop
7. 21 Teams took 4.5 hour buses from 0500 to 0800 to split, then the SNAV ferry at 1700 arriving 2140 to Ancona, then U-drive cars from Ancona at least 212 miles to Empoli(west of Florence).
22 12 hour Pitstop in florence
8. Choice of several flight possiblities from Florence to Mumbai:
23 0650 0855 AF5049 FLR CDG
1030 2350 AF134 CDG BOM
0655 0840 LH4067 FLR FRA
1135 2350 AI126 FRA BOM
0725 0925 KL3135 FLR AMS
1010 2350 NW34 AMS BOM
Mumbai tasks on the 24th, then 24 hour pitstop.
9. Since the Mumbai to Hong Kong nonstop AI358, was not flying on a Wednesday, I believe that teams have no choice but to take
25 AI310 BOM ICN 1925 1045+1 (note: this flight stops in Delhi and Hong Kong, so Hong Kong is covered)
26 JL9062 ICN KIX 1220 1400
except for TK and Rachel, who I believe take this combination:
25 9W309 BOM DEL 1855 2045
26 CA938 DEL PEK 0345 1220
JL 786 PEK KIX 1400 1750
26 tasks in Osaka start afternoon and finish that evening, then 12 hour pitstop
27 AM release from Osaka(except for Tk and Rachel who should release about 11am)
KIX TPE via any of these 3 flights:
EG211 1030 1245
CX565 1100 1315
BR2121 1235 1505
27 Taipei 101 sighting early afternoon on Friday, then 36 hour extended pitstop
29 TPE to ANC CI12 1445 0750 (July 29 after crossing the International Date Line)
FINISH LINE on July 29 in either GIRDWOOD or ANCHORAGE in 21 Days
Although it is possible for teasm to get to LAX, SAN, or LAS late evening or SEA or PDX early to mid evening, I do not believe that there will be anything beyond Alaska on this race. Others have a different point of view.
