I think a Europe (2-3 leg) route now would be great!

1) There is too much civil unrest in Egypt.....it is not an option.
2) There are already IN Europe......

I know they ARE in Europe. But the thing is that people are saying: "Africa would be great"... Not yet, please. I say I want Europe next, and that's what I figure out... I think it should go now.

TAR/WRP always flies out of Russia from the same city they fly into Russia.
So I would completely discount any train trips involving leaving Russia. I have no doubt that they will fly out of Moscow. I would also bet that they fly out of SVO, if that is how they got to Moscow from Istanbul. I plan to try to do more research, but to me, not only the same city, but always the same airport. With St Petersburg, there is no problem because there is only one airport. But Moscow is different....it has two major international airports. SVO and DME. But in all the TAR episodes there, that I have been following the spoilers........I can never remember at any time, teams arriving at DME...........only SVO. It will be a fun exercise to try to pull up the old info and see if any resolution of this hypothesis can be determined.
One good example of this hypothesis is TAR14. Teams flew to the Asian part of Russia, east of the Urals, for two legs. The legs were in Krasnoyarsk and Novosibirsk. They took the TransSiberian Train from Krasnoyarsk to Novosibirst. For those that remember, Novosibirsk is where Phil ran down the street in his skivvies. They then went to India. There was a very easy flight from Novosibirsk to Delhi.......but instead they all few back all the way to Moscow and left the country through SVO.
In our discussions, Neobie and I came to the conclusion that there must be some kind of restriction on TAR to fly out the same way they came in. This might be due to the commerical nature of their time in Russia.....maybe a desire to view filmed coverage........or just restriction on making sure they take all the same equipment out of Russia that they took in. It is really hard to know exactly......but they always follow the same pattern when going to Russia.

Did this apply to TAR13?
It gets tricky!

It did; they just used different airports (entering via SVO, leaving via DME).
And regarding Africa as a penultimate destination (as in the last leg or two) - Accra, Addis Ababa, Casablanca, Cairo, Dakar, Johannesburg all have direct flights to the US (so does Lagos, but I don't think TAR would go to Nigeria right now). Most curious is direct service from the Cape Verdes to Boston (though that flight arrives at night so it might not be the best choice for a final flight unless connecting to somewhere else).
Maybe we'll finish in the Eastern time zone for a change. :hoot:
georgiapeach:
What direct flights are you showing Addis to USA? I have not found any on a weekend anyway...

Peach,
I get for June 16 or 17:
JFK - none
BOS - none
IAD - none
ATL - none
MCO - none
This is a complete strikeout all the way down the Atlantic seaboard.
