domel, since the all-stars season, the editors have taken a less linear approach to what goes in an episode, leaving out things that they think doesn't affect what they have chosen to include in an episode.
So they might show us that teams had to find their self-drive vehicles at an airport, but they'll leave out the fact that some teams had problems finding their vehicle, unless it comes into play later on in the leg. Then it'll be shown, and that will be a cue that the time lost at that point lead to a team's delayed arrival at a later point during the same leg.

It may also be due to the need for the crews to also clear customs with their equipment, so in order to avoid penalizing a team, and complicating time credits, it becomes simpler to just hold everyone until all the teams and crews have cleared.

I think this may have happened in earlier seasons...but I have it on pretty good authority that it does not happen any more. Customs is just another bad taxi now, I think.

And it was fairly evident that it did not happen in the final leg of season 15 where the brothers got a solid half hour lead out of the plane.
On the other hand if the last leg of a long flight is a domestic one then there is no immigration or customs, so the odds of a coordinated stampede out of the airport are higher.

Dom:
What major last minute changes to the race route have there been over the years?
We have minor ones where Phil leaves the pit stop to eliminate someone early, but the only major ones I can think of is Nick & Vicky being saved after the detour went wrong in TAR 17, and the merging of two legs in Hungary in TAR6 when the producers realised begging was illegal.
Have there been any other last minute changes like this?

Season 11, when teams got stranded in Mozambique to Tazania and Charla & Mirna got a mega lead over the other teams...
