I thought that Ron & Kelly and Rob & Amber went to the Turkish Airline counter and even the airline said it didn't have any other flights.
I know I had a few raised eyebrows at the whole scene because it did look setup.
Unfortunately I already erased the episode from my DVR but didn't Juchenna and Metch book a roundabout way to Turkey on Air India? Relly and Romber kept asking the Turkish Airline. They needed to check another airline
The roundabout way may have been longer but it arrived 2 hours earlier.
And then, I could be wrong
Even Turkish Airlines can have lazy employees who don't want to bother looking up alternative connections. The fellow who helped Juchenna and Metch with an improbable connection through Dubai was the exception, not the rule.
In TAR5, Myrna and Charla got an apparently much better connection between destinations because one savvy employee booked them through an off-the-route stop which would get them to their destination an hour before the other teams. Trouble was, when they got to that connecting airport, weather set in and they could not get out on time, causing them to arrive at the PitStop after, not before, the other teams and they were eliminated. Had the weather in Dubai been too foggy for takeoff, Juchenna and Metch would have lost time. On this show, as in real life, airline employees can make quite a difference, as can weather and other glitches.
