There is more to schedule when doing large rallies than just the flights, Even just getting venues lined up on what is probably a short notice compared to most events those venues host. It’s probably easier to spend a little extra money and time on flights than try to coordinate all your venues and flights to minimize travel distance.
I agree that schedule looks pretty random. Somebody in the campaign management is just throwing darts at a map.
