Post any transportation info (flights, trains, buses, boats/ferries, etc.) for the new race. This thread is for transportation only with location spoilers.

Most likely flights for the teams to catch, Phill probably taking a flight with a domestic connection.

Evidently teams have been spotted in Terminal 7 at the #BA gate at JFK airport. Instagram user: gamescan_

Looks like teams who got stuck on the second flight are now going to be in the air befor the first flight

Calibound2 · « **Reply #6 on:** October 01, 2017, 08:46:11 PM »

According to a couple of different flight tracking sites..

The Delta flight left the gate earlier but was taxiing on the runway for quite some time.

The Iceland Air flight ended up getting in the air before the Delta flight.

Both flights are in the air now but they should be landing within minutes of eachother. The Iceland Air flight arriving first.

Marionete · « **Reply #7 on:** October 01, 2017, 09:44:03 PM »

Gonna be interesting to see all teams basically bunched up in the very first leg.

According to FR24, Delta didn't leave the gate first. Maybe they closed the gate early?

According to Flight Aware, both flights landed in the last half hour.

DavidJunior · « **Reply #10 on:** October 02, 2017, 04:23:30 AM »

Was near the Delta flight gate, everyone was at least past the gate/out of the terminal by 8:35-8:40, when my flight finally started boarding

Leg 1 flight #1 (Icelandair FI614)

Hadn't seen this posted anywhere yet... Schiphol to Antwerp train

This is the flight the teams took from Reykjavik to Amsterdam

No wonder they weren't hurrying!

Neobie · « **Reply #17 on:** October 17, 2017, 11:45:22 AM »

I reckon they could have made it on SA22 on 15 Oct, 1045-1215.
That'd give us enough time for a semi-rural Leg 7 on 15 Oct, and an urban Leg 8 in Harare on 16 Oct.

claude_24hrs · « **Reply #18 on:** October 19, 2017, 11:05:54 PM »

HRE>BAH connected via JNB and DXB

BritishTARFan · « **Reply #19 on:** October 20, 2017, 03:16:05 AM »

I reckon they took Emirates all the way. Emirates serve a daily Harare --> Dubai service with a stop in Lusaka.

mylomilk · « **Reply #20 on:** October 20, 2017, 09:12:16 AM »

We heard they left in the morning right?

I doubt they will wait until 1840 for the emirates flight

Even if they can't make the 0700 flight above there is another 0850 flight to JNB and also possible via nairobi which actually arrives earlier if they can make the (in theory) 45 mins connection

KQ706 1128-1527
EK720 1626-2218 or KQ310 1855-0049+1

They are in Bahrain now.

Flights from Bahrain to Chiang Mai which teams took on October 20th, 2017:

GF150 BAH-BKK 0910-2003 (scheduled 0900-2010)
PG221 BKK-CNX 2228-2347 (scheduled 2135-2255) - delayed 52 minute arrival

It seems Phil and the production crew likely left Bahrain on the night of the 19th and arrived in Chiang Mai in the following afternoon:

GF152 BAH-BKK 2220-0922 (scheduled 2220-0920)
WE160 BKK-CNX 1133-1210 (scheduled 1055-1215)

According to flightaware, the teams took the correct flight to Harare from a connection in Johannesburg on October 15th:
SA22 JNB-HRE 1100-1219

And here's what I reckoned on the flight from Prague to Harare:
Swiss (LX) 1499 PRG-ZRH 1953 (10/14) - 2100 (10/14) (scheduled 1955-2115)
Swiss (LX) 288 ZRH-JNB 2243 (10/14) - 0906 (10/15) (scheduled 2240-0910)
South African (SA) 22 JNB-HRE 1100 (10/15) - 1219 (10/15) (scheduled 1045-1215)

Apologies for my "archived" Prague to Harare post above which is now outdated.

LEG 11 ITINERARY

Taken from speculation and discussion thread posted back in October:

Bangkok Airways (PG) 224 CNX-BKK 1203 (10/22) - 1332 (10/22) (scheduled 1200-1320)
Cathay Pacific (CX) 654 BKK-HKG 1541 (10/22) - 1932 (10/22) (scheduled 1455-1845)

Sorry for what I've done this. This could be that I may not going to post again prior to the leg's actual airing. Apologies again from me.

LEG 12 ITINERARY

China Airlines (CI) 4 TPE-SFO 2347 (10/23) - 2001 (10/23) (scheduled 2335-2000)

This is the actual flights teams took on, notice that the safety card and business class seats from China Airlines.

Teams didn't book a Singapore Airlines direct flight from HKG-SFO that was posted in live sightings tweets thread on the day of the final leg.

Hmm...

So they back SF through Taiwan? Just odd that TAR didn't plan penultimate leg in Taiwan, but then the Hong Kong leg turned out to be a decent leg so I'm not complaining much.

georgiapeach · « **Reply #36 on:** February 22, 2018, 07:58:59 AM »

Taipei Tourism has sponsored several TAR related events. Perhaps they provided the flights.

naejae91 · « **Reply #37 on:** February 22, 2018, 08:03:51 AM »

Hopefully in future Taiwan Tourism Board can make a big move to TAR by hosting Taiwan leg.

Thanks Claude! Just a couple of cross-checks:

For Leg 4, I have teams departing Tangier on 7 Oct, with team sightings on 8 Oct. That gives:
- VY8727 (7 Oct 1940-2330) from Tangier to Paris
- AF7700 (8 Oct 0715-0845) from Paris to Nice

For Leg 10, how did you arrive at the Bahrain to Dubai flight?
