Old West Ep. 13

***Old West Ep. 13*** is the thirteenth episode of *Survivor: Old West* of the **Travellers Survivor** series.

## Immunity Challenge

***World Traveller [ X ]*** - Starting with a takeoff time from your starting location sometime after midnight EST on Saturday, February 1st, from one of three available starting locations, you will use Google Flights or other travel websites of your choice to plan a trip around the world that is both as fast and and cheap as you can manage. Your flights must come from some commercial travel site.
Drew: No pulling a Jordan Pines and trying to acquire a personal charter flight planner to handle your business for you (Yes, that is a real thing that happened, her name is Fatima and she’s lovely, but not applicable to this challenge).

You must touch down at least once in every continent (other than Antarctica). This can include layovers in flights, or choosing a location as the destination.

Your starting location options are:

Los Angeles, California
London, England
Shanghai, China

Here is an example of what your screenshot should look like (except with either Los Angeles, London, or Shanghai):

The screenshot contains:
The travel time of the flight
The price of the flight
Time and date in the screenshot
Name in the address bar with a summary of the takeoff and landing
DRIVING
In one location, chosen at your discretion, you must leave the airport you’ve flown to and DRIVE to a different airport. That drive must take you from one country into another (e.g. driving from Paris to Nice would not count, but driving from Paris to London would). You would submit your drive through a Google Maps screenshot, or some other driving maps site alternative. (IF YOU PLAN on using a site other than Google maps, let us know so we can approve it ahead of time) There will be no cost calculation for the driving portion, but the time will factor into your final time. You must arrive to the next airport two hours before your flight from that airport is scheduled to leave.

Here is an example of what your screenshot should look like:

The screenshot contains

the distance of the drive
showing that you are driving from one airport to another
time and date in the screenshot
name in the address bar with a summary of the drive
LAYOVERS
All layovers have to be at least two hours long in order to avoid penalties. This includes both layovers that are built into tickets, as well as length between landing of one flight before the takeoff of another. You can, of course, risk shorter layover times, but if you do, you risk missing your flight! (This also applies to the airport you drive to, if your flight takes off less than two hours after you arrive at the airport, it follows the same risk)

If your layover is:

1h30m-1h59m: you have a 10% chance of missing your flight

1h-1h29m: you have a 25% chance of missing your flight

30m-59m: you have a 50% chance of missing your flight

1m-29m: you have a 75% chance of missing your flight

We will decide if you’ve missed your flight by random.org, either on a call in your host chat, or if you’re not available, in a video that we record and send to your host chat. If you “miss your flight,” you will have one hour and $500 added to your total time and cost at the end of the challenge.(Note: missing your flight will not jeopardize other flights, it only affects your total at the end.)

SCORING
At the end of the challenge, your travel will be scored based on cost, time, and number of countries visited (Max 16 countries).

7 points for spending the least amount of money
5 points for second least
3 points for 3rd least
1 point for 4th least
5th in each category doesn’t get any points.

The same scoring will be used for time spent in travel from time of initial takeoff to landing time back at the same location. In addition, you will receive 1 point for every country visited (again, max 16 countries). After adding all of that together, the player with the highest number of points will win immunity!!

To clarify what we’re expecting from you, we need a series of screenshots showing that you’ve found consecutive flights with safe layover times to make it around the world and back to your starting city. We only need the screenshots of the flights with the prices, not proof that there’s a seat available or to actually put you through the process of booking it.

We understand that this is A LOT (Jess has played this comp, she almost died) SO we’re providing two days for this challenge. AKA: Enjoy the Super Bowl! Grading will take a bit….. Feel free to ask questions at every step, in terms of what’s accepted or not. Collecting the screenshots is a relatively simple task, but with infinite possibilities, and we recognize how overwhelming that could get.

All of your screenshots will be due to your host chats by 10pm EST Sunday February 2nd, 2020. We strongly recommend you compile them in a Google doc for submission, both for your benefit so you can make sure you have a continuous journey, and for ours in ease of finding them to grade.

PLEASE!!!! make a GOOGLE DOC with all your links rather than in your host chat.

You can update your submissions at any time, but if you do, we ask that you notify us in your tribe chat so we know to come through and check it again.

**Winner (according to finish):** Jared
