Rebalancing Signals (Use This to Move Days)
- If a day has
2+ fixed-ticket anchors, that city may be tight. - If a day has mostly
free/flexibleblocks, that city could donate one day. - Current likely dense segments:
Rome,Paris,Athens. - Current likely flexible segments:
Paros,Sorrento,Milan, parts ofNYC.
