I totally agree.
Even if we had all booking data, it would be very difficult to make out the algorithms. But we don't have the booking data, so it's simply impossible.
Another example about award stays (all in the same week, basic room):
- available from Sunday to Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday
- available from Monday to Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday
- sold out from Tuesday to Wednesday/Thursday/Friday
- sold out from Wednesday to Thursday/Friday
- sold out from Thursday to Friday
