I'm thinking that as long as they take the required form of transportation (if any), it doesn't matter if they paid or not. I'm sure if teams could get on airplanes without buying tickets production would allow it.

They had their receipts showing they paid for the tickets....

Just as a fact: about the Caribbean and Central America, TAR never had a first leg on that area (only TARLA 2 had the starting line at Guatemala's Tikal National Park). The closest one was Mexico in TAR3.
(BTW, you keep surprising me with your analysis, and I think you're right about it)

Alaneveda,
I was shocked to learn in an unpublished separate analysis of Central America destinations only that Mexico only qualified under my sets of assumptions with Monterey with 3 flights to there from LAX at 5pm and one each at 9pm and 10pm. Mexico City had only one nonstop flight and thus did not qualify. The other destinations that do not qualify based on my criteria are Guadalajara, Guajanato and Leon.
I am not clear what you were saying about AR3, but the first destination there was definitely Mexico City although it originated in Miami and not LAX.

Geographically speaking (Should be the differences on educationals programs. For us, Canada, USA and Mexico always were part of North America: everything between Mexico and Colombia's border with Panama were Central America; and from Colombia to the Strait of Magellan were South America).
--- End quote ---
There is no question about the definition of North America, whether from decades ago or today. It is Canada, U.S., Mexico AND Central America.
However, I have discovered with some geographic research to double-check the current view of what constitutes Central America that Mexico is not included in the modern definition even though it was when I learned geography several decades ago. So I stand corrected (except for some who view the southeastern tip of Mexico as part of Central America). Thus AR3 did not go first to Central America. Also, Monterey is not in Central America so there are no places in Central America where you can fly nonstop from LAX in the designated time frame.
