TAR 30: Pre-Race Speculation
dryedmangoez:
Not only that, but some flights aren't that much more expensive between LA and NY. Flights to Taipei, for example top out at $700 from either city.
And again, they might see a NY Starting Line as worth it if it drums up more attention and buzz than a Starting Line in LA.
ETA: Strangely enough, flights to Hong Kong are more expensive from LA than NY.

Also there may be more East Coast teams?

Also consider Newark, which also has international flights. Does LGA still has international flights? I remember flying back from there, last time I was in the US, but that was ages ago. Though due to availability of flights JFK still seems the most probable airport.
Something that is likely from what we've seen the last few seasons, when assessing probable destination:
- Teams might be broken down in two flights, with tickets either provided for them after a task, or its a race to the airport to get, between earlier and later pre-determined flights.
- Its likely a destination with at least 3 flights departing on 10/01, as they might like to have Phil board the 1st one, and distribute the teams in the following two. Making the likelihood of a destination where there's only 1 flight departing that afternoon or evening, more unlikely.

If they are starting in New York, I think we can rule Oceania as the first leg. Now, we should look to it as a Leg 11. If they wanted an Oceanian first few legs, they would start in LA.
Europe seems to be the first destination:
a) The closet possible point from NY, would be London or Paris. However, we have seen these recently, so I'm think maybe IRELAND
After a few kegs in Europe, they could go down to Asia, with very well could be NEPAL!
Then, down to Oceania, with either AUSTRALIA or a NEW ZEALAND with the final legs.
This is NOT A WISHLIST, but (I believe) a logical explain action of most likely where the TAR30 team will go!
Maanca:
Expecting the first country to be something in the Americas (no way in hell of a Caribbean country after these hurricanes), as was the trend with the previous live starts. But Europe would be a nice change from the pattern of Latin country first legs that's been happening a lot as of late.
We'll know when Phil says it at the starting line :)
