They don't use planes. Any water that needs crossing is done so at gun point by a Tibetan.

Best hold it high and dry little fella.

I think the flame sits in a special container on its own seat. I don't think it travels cattle class either.

Wonder what film it watches? Chariots of Fire maybe?

Its not the logistics of it, that im questioning its how they get round the regs

you cant put anything you like on as freight, there are rules and packing requirements to be read, the rule book is 800 pages, im just surprised how it does not apply to this. yet it applies to thing like paint and fireworks and matched and life boats.

I thought the whole point of the flame was for various runners to run the whole way with it? obviously they wouldn't have to run if they had to cross water on a boat (although they could run round and round the deck )
