One of the quoted interviews mentions that the teams visit six continents. So where is the South American leg? After Alaska? Adding the time needed could bring the final mat back around the first week of August as we speculated early on.
Lima, Peru perhaps?

Its only 21 days, so says BVM Gman -- we can barely fit the end city after Girdwood never mind South America.

To borrow from my post yesterday at 651 pm, "I get approximately 25 hours through Moscow, 24 hours through Beijing and 22 hours through Shanghai". Since we now know that none of these will be the UNKNOWN location since they aren't in India, let's take a look at comparabale data for the major Indian cities previous visited by Amazing Races:
Delhi 28 hours
Mumbai 30 hours
Chennai 37 hours
Kolkata 37.5 hours
As you can see, all of these are quite a bit more than for any of the ones above. However, despite the need for extreme efficiency in air travel to get from west to east, World Race Productions set a course that most likely included one of the 4 Indian cities above. It would appear that Delhi or Mumbai have the edge. The actual flights are:
July 22 VILNIUS FRANKFURT TE420 1130 1300 connecting to LH760 dep. 1345 arr. DELHI 0225 +1 Alternate flight AI131 dep. FRA 1615 arr. DEL 0745 +1
July 24 DELHI OSAKA AI314 depart 2315 arrive 1235 +1
July 22 VILNIUS FRANKFURT TE420 1130 1300 connecting to LH756 dep. 1340 arr. MUMBAI 0100 +1
July 24 MUMBAI OSAKA AI314 departs 2025 (2 stops) arrives OSAKA 1235 +1
The above are not the only possible flights, but they are the only efficient ones. Other flight connections involve considerably more time.
I have flight information on Chennai and Kolkata, but don't feel it is worthwhile to show it since they are quite unlikely.
I (and several other RFF Detectives) am now seeking information that will help determine which city in India was chosen.

It must be somewhere, but I'm too lazy to search all the threads, but do we have firm, absolute, confirmed sighting in Osaka? Or is this just speculation?

G-Man: Puddin is doing a beautiful job keeping all of our facts updated in one place so all of us can keep up here:

And Osaka so far is based on 3 vidcaps from the promo...
