I've just booked a trip to an undisclosed foreign country for our summer vacation. We booked with an undisclosed company since they are the only ones that cover the route we need, but, I could not believe the price difference between staying for less than or more than 5 days.
The trip actually cost 205 pounds, but only because we are now traveling for less than 5 days, to travel back later, even on the same day costs an extra 138 pounds.
What reasonable explanation could there be for this? Short answer, they are scammers. The reason they do this is simply that, for the majority of people traveling to the undisclosed country, it is their main holiday, and generally, main holidays are fixed at 7 or more days.
It's a scam, to trap people who don't have any flexibility. Thankfully, because my parents live in the undisclosed country, we can be totally flexible about times, we can go for the cheaper option.
By-the-way, another surprise, if you book your trip via the undisclosed company's 'Offers' page it is much cheaper. This was true for us, even though none of the offers covered the dates we need!
Using only the money saved on this trip, we will be able to book another, under 5 day off-peak trip - annoyingly it will be with the same undisclosed company.
