TAR 20 Transport
Neobie:
Docol saw at least eight teams at Asuncion airport at 5.23pm, after all flights to Buenos Aires had left. (The last one was at 5.10pm.) Unless there was a non-elimination the first three legs (and if Elimination Station is in Mexico, it's unlikely they wouldn't eliminate people in South America), that means all teams were still in Asuncion after all these flights have left. The only flights available for the racers are:
1800 to Sao Paulo
1800 to Santa Cruz
2000 to Montevideo
The sighting in Buenos Aires could have been teams arriving from the US or them leaving Buenos Aires for Asuncion (in Leg Three). We don't know the date of the sighting yet.

Neobie,
Who cares that all flights to Buenos Aires had left at 523pm? You have missed my point! Any teams connecting through EZE was long gone at that point to be able to make the connection to GRU. However, the nonstop flight ASU GRU at 6pm remained. Some teams went one way, some went the other and all presumably made it to GRU in time.
Neobie:
The race started with eleven teams.
There were three legs between the start and Asuncion.
Production presumably wouldn't non-eliminate people in South America if sequester was in Mexico.
Hence, there were probably eight teams left.
Docol saw "at least" eight teams at Asuncion after all flights to Buenos Aires had left.
Hence, no team went to Buenos Aires (at the start of Leg Four).
apskip:
Departure from Asuncion to Buenos Aires EZE airport is not the only possibility opportunity for teams to be spotted at EZE. We have these 2 trips:
1. flight Buenos Aires to Salta
2. flight Buenos Aires to Asuncion
It of course depends on which day you pick to look for flights, but irrespective of the date this is true:
1. Flights from Buenos Aires to Salta are from national airport Jorge Newberry (AEP) airport, not international EZE
2. flights from Buenos Aires to Asuncion are split, roughly half from AEP and half from EZE.
Depending on which day the travelers to Kenya spotted teams, it could have been while AR20 teams were waiting to fly to Asuncion from EZE. That would be on or about November 30.
Neobie:
Or teams could have been seen arriving from Miami on their very first leg (where they'd need to transfer, as you said, to AEP to get to Salta).
Teams were seen racing in Asuncion on the afternoon (even at night) of 1 Dec, and the only flights from AEP to Asuncion are at 9pm and 10.10pm. I believe they departed from EZE, which has an 8.45am and a 2.35pm flight.
