AR21 Transportation

dpe,
There are places in any metropolitan area which are more secluded and less open to viewing by outsiders. Washington has many of those. I do not expect WRP to attempt the Mall or near any of the Smithsonian Museums. WRP has done a very good job in AR1 (NYC Queens), AR4 (Phoenix), AR5 (Fort Worth), AR13 (Portland) and AR19 (Atlanta) of finding parks or private grounds where the finish line could go undetected.

I haven't seen any photographic evidence that places teams in France. Nevertheless, since the race is likely to return to the U.S. in the next 24 or 48 hours it is prudent to examine the possible flights from Paris-CDG to East Coast cities. Here they are (all except Orlando being both Saturday and Sunday):
BOS 1325 1335 1910
JFK 0820 1025 1130 1350 1355 1635 1710 1810 1830
EWR 0925 1305
PHL 1130 1825
IAD 1035 1205 1530
CLT 1110
ATL 1055 1330 1600
MCO 1355 (Sunday only)
MIA 1000 1055
This time, due to more earlier times than for Madrid, I think a wider range of cities makes good sense. I could see Newark, Philadelphia, Washington or Charlotte being the finale metro area. Because JFK, Atlanta and Miami have all hosted Amazing Race finales, I don't think they will be selected this time.

Remember the Orly/Charles de Gaulle case?
It should be prudent that we check out all combinations.
Paris: CDG, ORY, LBG
NY: JFK, EWR, LGA
DC: IAD, BWI...

Xarles,
Feel free to check out all those possibilities. I do not have the time to do so. I can tell you that I flew to/from Orly to the U.S. almost 30 years ago, but flights have changed and there are few U.S. East Coast to/from Orly today.
Wasn't Le Bourget last used in 1927 when Charles Lindbergh landed there?
If you have ever landed at LaGuardia you would know how short its runways are and why no flights to/from Europe are scheduled from there. I provided details for both JFK and EWR, so I am confident that the NYC metro area airports are covered.
I have never heard of any European flights landing at BWI but at least that is a decent sized airport. I will take a look at that one only.

Xarles,
Don't be confused by the "International" in Baltimore/Washington International Airport. It's not. There is one flight from Europe arriving from London apparently every day, but that's it. THERE IS DEFINITELY NOTHING FROM CDG.
The only other international flight arrivals that I spotted were from Toronto (there's 2), Punta Cana, Cancun and Montego Bay.
