Air:
SVO is bigger than both DME and VKO though.

Also Aeroflot has its hub there.

apskip:
I am trying to guesstimate the disadvantage Ryan and Abbie incurred with inability to make the same flight as the rest of the teams out of Moscow.

The flights that 4 teams took on June 10 or 11 were probably SU2550 SVO AMS 1103 1220 Saturday and 1105 1231 Sunday.

The flights Ryan and Abbie got were probably through Frankfurt, SU2300 1125 1239 Saturday or 1133 1347 Sunday.
The killer is that the connecting flight is LH992, which on Saturday was 1343 1409 but on Sunday was 1434 1558. That means Ryan/Abbie would start with not quite 2 hours to make up if it was on June 10 but 3.5 hours to make up if it was June 11.

--- Quote from: apskip on September 05, 2012, 07:12:06 PM ---Trains leave Schiphol Airport for Amsterdam Centraal station all morning, afternoon and evening with a frequency of every 15 to 20 minutes. Th trip takes about 15 minutes.

Schiphol would also surely be the "outlying station" you refer to, Dr. Rox. It could be other large cities in the Netherlands such as Rotterdam/The Hague, Eindhoven or Groningen. However. few if any of them have any direct flights from Eastern Europe.

apskip....I think you have been smokin some bad caca tonight. Schipol is not an outlying station. For gods sake it, is in an Amsterdam surburb as you well know. No, you have no idea what my outlying station is......simpley because I dont know what it is..........so maybe you should stop trying to intrepret other people's ideas and stick to your own.....as wrong as they are most of the time.

Hmm! What does episode 9 tell us? Was it really some "outlying station" not to include the obvious Schiphol Airport?  Who is smoking bad caca?

However, I am equally guilty. take a look at post 142 in this thread which stated my belief that all 5 teams should be using nonstop flights from Sheremetyevo to Amsterdam.

apskip:
I have gone back to look at the ferry schedules for Tuesdays (and probably almost everyday) Palma to Barcelona. There are numerous flights throughout the day. There are only 2 mid-day ferries which will get to Barcelona in time for the Talgo train:

Acciona 1200 1930
Balearia 1239 1945
