Yeah, That would be cool like I said.
But I like to see more Oceania than just Australia and New Zealand. How come BVM never have the race visit countries/islands like Fiji, Palau, Micronesia, Samoa, Tahiti, Cook Islands, Vanuatu, Saipan, and American Samoa? And if you haven't notice that why on past seasons airports like Macau International and SFO are not used for travel. In Allstars Leg12, why did the teams fly out of Hong Kong and not Macau and the last legs of seasons2 and 11 why did they fly into Oakland and not SFO! I don't get it but ARIsrael used Macau International, there are flights out of Macau to China, and other Asian cities. And from Hawaii they could have flown on United to SFO instead ATA to Oakland. Sorry but I just wanted to point this out, any way back on topic about the TAR15, the number 1 country I really hope they get to visit is Jordan. Jordan is travel friendly and has a bunch of places to visit like Wadi Rum and Petra.

About your Macau Question, I have been to Macau airport multiple times and there are barly any flights. They have a couple fights each day for locations in China/Taipei. If one team accidently misses a flight they will be maybe a couple hours behind if they are lucky but maybe even 1 day behind other teams like the Africa to Poland leg in TAR All Stars. So Hong Kong Airport is Much More bigger and they have many flights so if a team misses a designated flight, they can still catch up.

Hope this helps... (BTW Macau aiport has 8 boarding gates 4 which require busses while Hong Kong has around 50 gate which most of them do not require busses.

Well Today I was having my 2 hour Layover in LAX. I did lots of snooping and asking ticket counters, flight attentends, and security guards....Nothing at all! Well...some Ticket counter people were giving me TAR 14 info saying they saw what i was describing in November...Like that was any help now lol.

But I did get something, This coukd be a lead....Or just someone throwing me off. Someone said they saw Camera crews with People in Pairs going on 2 different flights to Singapore....Idk if that helps any. Let me know if it does!

Neobie · « **Reply #230 on:** July 09, 2009, 03:36:41 AM »

Let me know if true! I'm working at Singapore's Changi Airport and could probably find people to badger!

(TAR:I flew into Hong Kong first before taking the ferry to Macau, but that got edited out...)

Thanks zatch!!

We do not believe that teams have left yet.....but nothing is impossible.

Stay alert team, and contact me by PM asap if you are or can be in the area during the next few days!

Well I'm glad I could help in the slightest bit. But I wouldn't take it as Valid Info. The Flight attendant bearly knew What TAR was, I had to describe Teams and Camera crews and other things of that sort, so I don't think it was Legit but like you said "But nothing's Impossible." so Who knows...He might be right.

Cool! That would be amazing to go to Singapore. But I think a lot of people from L.A. would have seen them.

and thats what throws me off. I think if it was a real sighting, I think more people would've talked. but ik....theres no telling whats with this races' startingline or if the race has even ended yet.

jerseydude · « **Reply #235 on:** July 09, 2009, 08:18:17 PM »

Well nothing in China (Shanghai and Shenzhen) yet... Had a flight a couple days ago and didn't see anyone...

georgiapeach · « **Reply #236 on:** July 09, 2009, 09:25:03 PM »

They have to leave here first...and here's hoping tomorrow is the day!

Perhaps they would start at midnight because there would not be as many sightings.

If there are sufficient flights leaving at that time (2 or 3 in the morning etc.) then I think this is definitely a possibility. It would cut down on initial sightings and it if we don't know exactly when the race began than it does make it harder to look for further sightings of other legs.

Realistically there only needs to be at the most 2 flights leaving within a few hours of each other for this to work - I don't know whether this is a possibility however someone who's more airport savvy would have to check.

Neobie · « **Reply #239 on:** July 10, 2009, 11:27:54 AM »

Flight-wise, it's not a problem - plenty of flights going over to Asia, Australia and Mexico from LAX, and that's only counting the directs.

But would they?

georgiapeach · « **Reply #240 on:** July 10, 2009, 11:31:49 PM »

No sightings so far.....

But there is some info that makes us think that departure is imminent?

So if you are in the area and want to help, please PM me!

gingerman28 · « **Reply #241 on:** July 11, 2009, 10:31:48 PM »

Friday has come and gone; Saturday has come and gone; and still no sightings

Perhaps LAX was not the jumping off spot.

So where oh where have our little teams gone

georgiapeach · « **Reply #242 on:** July 11, 2009, 11:20:24 PM »

G-man, teams have not left yet to the best of our knowledge.

Clearly the original info re earlier this week was incorrect, it may even be as late as next Friday.

We have some evidence pointing strongly towards LAX, other possible airports are negative so far.

Hang in there guys...they aren't lost, just a little later than planned.

georgiapeach · « **Reply #243 on:** July 12, 2009, 08:06:48 AM »

Okay, the best I can do right this minute is a confirmation of "next week", but that is a good one.

apskip · « **Reply #244 on:** July 12, 2009, 02:10:52 PM »

I am in the GMan camp on this. It seems likely at this point, that the race has in fact started somewhere and is taking a "run silent, run deep" course. It is now 11 weeks from the probable television debut of AR15. With editing starting at pit stops, World Race Productions has found ways to shorten the length of the production/editing cycle, but do you really think that they would wait until less than 8 weeks before debut to finish the actual AR15? I don't. I think Bertam van Munster has grown tired of spoiling and devised ways to minimize it. Consider that we knew nothing when AR14 teams went to Siberia. There are other such places around the globe. The key to invisibility is to stay off the major airlines. Maybe World Race Productions is now using a fleet of 2 or 3 jets to move the teams from place to place when air travel is required.

I trust that they're right, but where does this "info" come from? Why can't it be shared? (This has bothered me for a long time.)
