Good question! If it is just a 30 minute penalty and you knew the next flight would set you back many hours, you'd be better off taking the business class flight.

Hmm... I don't know - I'll ask on tarflies if anyone knows.
I actually really like Nick and Don - they are my pick to win. I was willing them to get before Az & Hend. They were just to cocky for my liking.
The hippies are too boring so final three for me would be
Nic/Don, Goths and Nate and Jen (cos they're bickering entertains me!!) I wouldn't want Jen and Nate to win but would happy if either of the other two won.
Must also check out on Tar flies how Don is doing in terms of oldest person to get so far.
Dubrobnik looked beatiful didn't it, it makes me want to go back - they do pretty cheap flights to nearby from the UK.
Kelda:
Asked at tar flies re business class and the admin gave the first and so far only reply.....
--- Quote ---Re the business class stuff. This is what Zach told us when we interviewed him quite awhile ago:
--- Quote ---Here is the deal. You can buy whatever kind of tickets you want – first class, business class, economy, refundable, non-refundable, it makes no difference. You may only FLY with economy tickets though. If you are given business class seats or upgraded for free, you can fly that way too. You can also buy as many tickets as you want, within reason. Eventually, we were told, our credit cards would max out. You can change your tickets as many times as you want before boarding a flight.

That being said, the rules could have changed since then and I still think Zach and Flo's actions caused some controversy (disgruntlement among fellow racers) that season. (But that could just be the crack talking.)

Thanks for the information and link Kelda. I'm surprised the rest periods are that short. I would have thought a couple of days. They must be very tired at the end of it all.
I was all set to get out of work on time at 7PM when a scheduling mess happened and I didn't get out until after 9. A registry nurse thought she was due to work at 10 not 6:30 and the nurses she was supposed to relieve refused to stay so I did. I was sooooo mad! I watched the first segment and then had to get back to work. I just finished on Youtube. Thank goodness!
That was some of the best flight booking drama I have seen. Azaria was very hard on his sister at the airport. I think Nate and Jennifer are quite the mess. "Our relationship sucks!"
The goths are still my team. Looks like they may have a go at each other next episode.

Kynts voice cracks me up when telling Vyxin to stop the car!

I wondered in the epaiode where their bags were -
In the interview above Az & Hen say that production confiscated their backpacks -- production when they got off of the airplane... because they knew that they'd be doing zip lines and potentially jumping into water.
Also interesting is that they actually got on the plane that the other teams were on with the business class tickets and thought they would just take whatever penalty they were given but then changed their minds and made the plane half an hour late for taking off.
