Good question. I thought about this before bidding. Originally the plan was to travel from a tuesday to the next tuesday, but then I thought about the times. If I didnt travel until late the first tuesday and traveled very early the next tuesday, I'd be losing almost 2 days. So, I changed the dates accordingly. Instead of 7 days, I used 8. As it turns out, the day we leave our flight isnt until 2pm, and we dont arrive until 8:30pm (as I suspected). On the return flight, we'll get back mid-day so it's not that bad. Just make sure to plan for the worst, hope for the best. I believe they listed the flight hours and it was like 6am to 10pm? not sure......
