Hi there
The simple answer is to do with charter planes and flights - 14 days means it's the same plane so you're booked back and home on the same flight number. 10 and 11 days can be more expensive because you have to go out and back on different airlines (or flight numbers).
Not sure if I've explained that clearly but charter flights to most countries (r.g. if you want to go to Greece) are in multiples of 7 days. To be offered 10 or 11 is unusual for a charter....
Hey ho |

I agree Jambo - anyway you look at it, it's still expensive!
The tuesday to friday with Monarch - yes, same carrier but different flight number..... which implies different plane with different routes in between...

okay, i get, but i spoke to gambia experience yesterday and a lot was to do with the orginating airport here in UK, they can always sell the seats from Gatwick but from EMA or Bristol they will fly out half full.
i am considering the 249 for 7 nights from EMA, even making my own way there could be cheaper than flying from gatwick, if I save 70pounds it will be worth the extra trip.  |
