I wonder if they would consider Africa for the 10th leg and then South America for the 11th leg.

There is a direct flight from Johannesburg to Buenos Aires and a direct flgiht from Capetown to Buenos Aires.......it would have been nice to see them use one of them.

Posts by Dr. Rox suggest that the most recent leg is Chur, Switzerland. Irrespective of the accuracy of that, there are frequent flights (at least every 2 hours) from Vienna to Zurich that take about 1.5 hours. The Swissrail IC train from Zurich Flughafen to Zurich Hbf takes 12 minutes and runs at least twice every reasonable hour and the IC train from Zurich HBF to Chur runs about every hour and takes 1.5 hours. That gives a total trip time of advance for airport checkin (maybe 1.5 hours), 1.5 hours in flight, an average of 0.5 hours including schedule delay to Zurich Hbf and 1.5 hours plus schedule delays from Zurich Hbf to Chur. That totals a minimum of about 5 hours.By itself, that doesn't help us much until we know more about what the pit stop release time in Vienna was and what the tasks in Chur were.

For the most part, these flights are red-eye overnight flights, but there are a few daytime flights.
Destination cities in Brasil are Fortaleza, Receife, Salvador, Belo Horizonte, Rio, Sao Paulo. Other cities in South America with direct non stop flights are Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Santiago, Lima, Guyaquil, and Quito.
With the exception of the first 3 cities listed for Brasil, all the other cities listed have direct, non stop, overnight, red-eye flights back into the US. Most of the flights arrive around sunup, +/- 2 hours.
USA End City possiblities are Dallas, Houston, Miami, Atlanta, DC Dulles, NYC JFK and Newark. There might be a couple more, but I just got tired of looking.
Edited to add Newark.

Well take Rio off the possible list and move to confirmed list......according to Peach.

Unless she's saying the race is over which it isn't. Which seems more applicable since she said today.
