The volcanic ash according to the British Meteological Office is north in the Arctic Ocean and White Sea off the coast of northern Russia. Airports are working fine in Europe and the Mediteranean with very little or no volcanic ash interuption.

Sure. But if you're in charge of producing a show that costs millions of dollars, has to wrap within a three week window, and must be meticulously coordinated, you're not taking chances on "little to no interruption." The only way BVM goes through Europe on this race is if he is guaranteed functioning planes and airports, and I don't see that happening.

Airports have been closed in many places here in Europe in the past week. Today (Friday) airports in northern Norway were closed. But the volcano is again calmed down but you can expect it to erupt again.

So Northern Hemisphere summer + avoiding Europe = more China, India and Thailand. Joy.
Surprise me, CBS!

I would think Thailand is out because of the recent troubles in Bangkok, right?
And I guess they'll give North and South Korea a miss what with all the sabre rattling going on...
