Assuming the same flight our blondes were on yesterday, QZ 8361 from Bandung to Singapore, 30 Jun 1115-1355?
The question is: why didn't production speed it up and let teams take an earlier flight from Bandung to Singapore, 0540-0830?
Is it because teams will arrive at night if they took the earlier flight, or is it because their destination isn't served before that, making an earlier arrival in Singapore moot?
An example:
If Leg 11 was in Hong Kong, letting teams take the 5.40am flight from Bandung allows them to catch an earlier Singapore-Hong Kong connection (0955-1405), leaving them time in Hong Kong to film a leg today (30 Jun) afternoon.
Instead, the earliest time they can now arrive in Hong Kong is 6.50pm, an awkward time for filming unless they want a night leg.
Hence, Hong Kong is unlikely as their destination.
The same principle applies to Southeast Asia, I think.
Australia/Northeast Asia hence seems more likely. Their current trajectory allows them to fly and arrive the morning of 1 Jul (date fixed). (Taking the earlier Bandung-Singapore flight would make them arrive the evening of 30 Jun, again awkward for filming.)
