To be honest, an Express Pass or a holiday trip / 10,000 dollars EACH (usually in earlier seasons) for winning the first leg?, I'll take the prize.
The Express Pass usually (in recent seasons) just helps to ensure you win the leg OR avoid elimination on the leg that the team is not even in danger of being eliminated. And on the one occasion the team is in danger, the team chose not to use it. Awesome.

1. Careless teams who just book themselves on the slower flight without checking
2. Teams arriving at the slower counter and having a mad dash to the faster one
3. Teams arriving at the faster counter and reserving spots for other teams, resulting in EPIC DRAMA
4. Faster teams being total smug about their prowness in getting the first flight but only to get eliminated that leg
5. The faster flight getting delayed and getting in perhaps 5-15 mins earlier or later than the later flight
I know, I'm evil. :funny:

Boring Dude:
In order to keep the express pass concept fresh, I have an idea. In the actual race, teams have to use it on or before the 8th leg. What if teams were given an additional $500,000 if they handed in their express pass at the end of the 8th leg without using it, AND later won the race. This would create even more tension on whether or not to use the pass, and could result in some interesting outcomes.
