# OTA Price Comparison for Weekend Stays

**Use case:** 

Weekend breaks are sold as a two-night package, and that is where parity slips. Four Amsterdam properties, two-night stays starting on each of seven consecutive days, every source priced for the package rather than a single night. Compare the Friday and Saturday rows against midweek. Cost: 28 parity rows at $0.01 = at most $0.28 a run.
