[tz] [EXTERNAL] Re: Kazakhstan Airline Schedules

Flight was NQZ (GMT+5) to FRA (GMT+2), not vice versa. Estimated flight time 7 hours 35 minutes (prevailing winds accounting for the difference?), with a 3 hour time difference, so depart 4:20, arrive 8:55 (4:20+7:35-3:00). At least that's what one of the deleted attachments says.

Google estimates FRA Frankfurt am Main to NQZ Nursulatan Nazarbayev, Astana
takes 6:45 direct, flights are 7:05W/8:10E, so arrival at 09:00 would require
departure around 23:50/-1, unless there are stops!

One flight leaving at 04:20 arriving 08:50/+1 takes 31:30 with 19:25 stop in
Dubai, costs 5* as much, emits 6* the CO2, flying ~33% longer, than the cheapest
and most efficient, which has a 17:55 stop in Warsaw!
