The tropical storm does not affect hong kong people much,cuz i am living in hk,and tar 23 is still shooting at leg 6,so there it is a possibility

Team Duck Dynasty and the older couple were the only ones not spotted past leg 2, am I right?
And who were spotted on leg 6 (Vienna)?

Actually, we haven't spotted Team 11 either. But they are safe on Leg 1 because we have a picture of them at that Pit Stop talking with other teams.

However, I am getting a feeling that Team 11 is the Father/Son team. If it's not Team 11, then I don't know which M/M team it would be!

Could the Father and Son team be the tall African-Americans?

Keep in mid "Father-Son" is in the eye of the beholder. It could also NOT be true.

Why do people suggest Qatar is only a connecting point and won't have a leg itself?

Qatar is quite a dangerous place, I remember going there myself and never feeling 100% safe, there's a lot of shady business there, particularly in the capital

I didn't feel unsafe in Qatar, but man that place is boring. It'd take some imagination to be able to design a leg there!

Places that look likely to me based on flight patterns:
Seychelles
Colombo
Kathmandu

Some of our friend in the neigbourhood games board have designed a leg in Qatar, could they be inspired? ;)

If they fly from Vienna to Doha, Doha is a great connecting point to many many cities, the big problem is the amount of possible connections if originating in Vienna:

Based on that's list of flights, if Doha is a connection point, I see Male, Kathmandu, Colombo and Kozhikode as most likely.

Flight is expected to land an hour early from its expected time. The flight itself is scheduled to land in the next hour or so.

I absolutely agree with you. Those are live listings of scheduled flights out of Doha with enough time for a connection from Vienna if they are really flying on QR. If they go to Doha, they should be arriving by 10:05 PM local.

955pm is currently the scheduled time of arrival. There is only one flight from Vienna on Qatar Airways, and it goes to Doha. Flight QR96.

Here are flight leaving Doha tonight, that teams could probably make.




These are flights from this morning, but they should run tomorrow as well.

I'll edit in flights for tomorrow morning soon.

They definitely won't be going to London or Budapest as they could have flew straight from Vienna. I think Kuwait and Riyadh can also be discounted as they're quite dangerous so looks like the only possible places as of right now are Bahrain, India or UAE although they could be staying Doha or could be waiting until morning :duno:

Also, I think Kathmandu, Colombo, Kochi, and Maldives would be realistic for tomorrow morning flights.

More likely
Doha

Mahe, Seychelles
Colombo
Kathmandu
Kozhikode, Kerala

Places that look likely to me based on flight patterns:
Seychelles
Colombo
Kathmandu

Er thanks everyone for repeating me!

I've done some analysis over on the Transport thread earlier. Take a look!

Is there any possibility that the leg is actually in Doha?

Why is it that people keep saying Qatar, Kuwait, & Saudi Arabia are unsafe? I thought that they were fairly safe Middle Eastern countries, like Oman or UAE. They have been to Kuwait before, and the world cup will be in Qatar in 2022, so it shouldn't be as unsafe as North Korea or anything.

I agree that Kuwait is safe. Women are not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia, so that makes it near impossible for the race to visit. And Qatar is definitely safe too.
