That one would take some explaining, two flights is two flights, why would it matter how long the period between them is?

A person has 3 weeks holidays
ONE CTC Holidays, 2 flights
TWO EXODUS Holidays, 4 flights

You're assuming that British cyclists only ever take holidays abroad, never at home, and that there is some magical "quota" for the minimum number of days that someone must spend going on foreign holidays during the year. That's simply not true (unless you're a tax exile, perhaps).

I've never said that
For years I organized 5 trips a year, catering for families mostly with UK camping trips twice a year. Combine that with lots of Tandem Club events.
Nothing to do with a quota, just a statement of fact. If you spend longer abroad having flown the time spent flying there and also the miles are less, it's simple maths.
We have a great friend and he runs the 'Buckley Formula' If you spend more than an hour per day of holiday getting there it's not worth it. A CTC Holiday does that, many other holiday companies don't fit that criteria
