It certainly has. And tour operators wonder why their business is dwindling because people prefer to DIY.

There isn't another day flight for those dates.

Think that may sum it up.

It is wrong IMO that a 10 day package be sold on this basis, it is clearly an 11 night holiday.

It's great for the Faliraki crowd though who aren't back before 6am from the bars/clubs anyway and sleep on the sunbeds during the day.

Hmmm nice. The plane probably needs less fuel, it can fly in their booze fumes.

Where have you had that fact from, I was under the impression that the package business is on the up and DIY has gone down.
Although i'm not denying that flight without the accommodation is a nightmare. I suppose the question here is would the op still have booked this package had they realised there was no room on the last day or done a different holiday completely because that was the only flight for that duration.

No, that was a flight for another duration - 11 nights - it never was, or is, a viable flight for 10 nights.
