Yay. Rewatching all the seasons, I realize that almost 50% of the episode is focused on the airport drama.

Glad you are re-watching them but unless there was some major major airport drama it isn't half the episode. Usually it is the first quarter in the beginning country through the airport when they fly internationally. The first commercial break (not counting after "previously") usually has a slo-mo close-up of an allegedly screwed-over Racer going to miss the flight they need. We come back from break to find that they make the plane anyway.
