FAQ
How are the days counted?
Both the departure day and the return day count. Leaving on January 1 and returning on January 5 is 5 days, and the nights are the days minus one: 4 nights.
What about overnight flights?
Only dates are used, so a night on a plane counts as a night. Your number of hotel nights may differ, so check your bookings.
What if I cross the International Date Line?
Enter the local dates. Crossing the date line can make the calendar count longer or shorter than the time you actually spend away.
