The reason I'm asking was due to the schedule for each direction. From what I can tell, the PNI-TKK departure times are as follows:
  • Saturday around 3pm
  • Sunday around 2am
  • Monday around 3pm
  • Tuesday around 3pm
  • Thursday around 3pm
So, to me it looks like if you're wanting to SDC to an earlier flight from PNI-TKK that your only option is to book the Sunday flight, and hope that you can SDC to the Saturday afternoon flight instead, which only gets you there ~10 hours earlier than the Sunday middle of the night flight. This would give you time in TKK from ~3:30pm on Saturday until 3:30am on Sunday when the flight to GUM departs.

If you're going the other direction, here's the departure times for GUM-TKK:
  • Friday around 8am
  • Saturday around 8pm
  • Sunday around 8am
  • Monday around 8am
  • Wednesday around 8am
Again, to me it looks like if you're wanting to SDC to an earlier flight from GUM-TKK that your only option is to book the Sunday flight, and hope that you can SDC to the Saturday evening flight instead, which gets you there ~11 hours earlier than the Sunday morning flight. This would give you time in TKK from 10pm on Saturday until ~11am on Sunday when the flight to PNI departs.

Or am I looking at this all wrong? haha
