Perhaps Lisbon?? The two flights from JFK are:

Delta 473 - Depart: 10:29pm -> Arrive: 10:30am (+1)

Tap Air Portugal 208 - Depart: 11:25pm -> Arrive: 11:20am (+1)

Dublin is the only Irish city has never visited in the entire TAR franchise. So only Shannon visited in TAR 12. Pray for Dublin as the first destination city.

I'm going to make the trek out, but the earliest I could get to the park is 10:30am

Also, I have tickets for my return flight at JFK, seeing as most the teams will go there

1030 should be fine. The GO! may not be until ~430.

I was planning on getting there at 8 or 9 since the post said 1130. Go time really isn't until 430? What on earth do they do for 5 hours? I remember watching the feed from the 25 start and I think the whole thing was over in less than half an hour.

What's everyone going to be wearing tomorrow? It would be good to catch up with some of you tomorrow.

The racers won't even arrive for quite a while. Maybe 11:30 is when they begin setting up the cameras & such.
Although 5 hours relly does sound like too much. :lol:

I remember before 25 started, Phil spent some time going around taking selfies with people. He replied to my tweet asking him to do the famous eyebrow with a photo, to date my most popular tweet, my tablet was non-stop with notifications that night :hearts:

Yeah we are going about 9-930.

I would likely disregard Barcelona, since they'll be voting on whether or not to leave Spain tomorrow, and I don't think things will have cooled down enough for racers to go there by Monday.

Not sure if there'll be demonstrations/issues with the rest of Spain, but it's a politically tumultuous time in the country right now; I'd personally hesitate to consider Spain at all right now.

It HAS to be between either Iceland or Ireland for Leg 1, we think?

Even the rest of Spain is safe, the most particular cities to travel are either Alicante, Cordoba, Granada, Madrid, Malaga or Seville. Spain is probably sure to visit.

Well, to everyone that's fortunate enough to be going tomorrow...have fun! Can't wait to see all the pictures, to learn the first country and the other 20 faces that will be racing besides Cody and Jessica. It's gonna be a fun day.

You can't say that.
You have no idea.

Those seem like valid options for sure, but they could really do anything - have connecting flights, for example, which allows for any location.
We don't know what's in production's mind yet, so there's no way of somehow 'confirming' that. Just wait til  tomorrow and you'll know.

Sorry, I should have clarified better- what I meant by my uncertainty was more of logistical ease for filming in those areas.

I was just in Barcelona a couple of weeks ago and felt very safe the whole time.

BUT, I'm sure there are going to be plenty of marches, parades, demonstrations that will slow traffic flow, and make it difficult to reach- let alone film- at some locations.

And it could be the same for other parts of Spain- we don't know, this is going to be new territory for the country no matter how it turns out.

A Montreal premiere would bypass the recent France overload.
