It's not really a locale, but. . . .
. . . in Indy IV I would like to see Indy complete one of his "red line" journeys by flying "space available" on a United States Air Force flight.
With respect to the story, I could see Indy in a bind and having to get to some far-flung destination fast -- like Japan. In the early 1950's probably no airline was flying as many flights to as many global destinations as the good ol' U.S. armed forces. While "space-available" is for uniformed military personnel and their dependents, I could see Indy getting a seat by any number of means -- from (i) calling in a favor, (ii) to having someone (with rank) recognize Indy from the War and then give up his/her seat, or (iii) to the typical way in which Indy gets access to someplace he's not supposed to be (he steals a uniform). Whatever the method, this scene could be used to show that Indy did serve during the war (as more fully discussed on the WWII thread) and to show something about the U.S.'s global role in the early 1950's.
One of the things that irks me in the first three movies is that for the most part Indy's travel arrangements just happen (with seeming ease). There's always someone like a Marcus, Sallah or Dan Akroyd to do the dirty work. Here in the 2000's, I wish that I could effect my more humble travels with as much ease as Indy seemingly effected his great global jaunts back in the 1930's.
I think it would expand on Indy's character if we were shown him having to be a little creative in acheiving his travel objectives (especially, if time-is-of-the-essence in the plot). I also think this would be a good point of distinction between Indy and other action adventure heroes like James Bond and Lara Croft (Sp?) who are able to jump around the globe with ease due to resources at their disposal.
[As for real locales, I wouldn't be surprised to see Indy in Cuba for the reasons I posted in the Cuba thread.]
