If, say, you think it makes more sense to reduce that gap to 7 days, I'd be happy to run it against your account?
You'd go from 317 trips to 408 in that scenario.

Thanks, but no. It doesn't seem to be common going back and it might throw up something unexpected. I have a number of long overseas trips where there are up to ~12 work days not marked as anything between flights in the FR24 import (= 'gap'). As I'm editing these trips, I'm filling in these days with the client or work location (totally unnecessary from a practical point of view, but it makes a nicer picture :rolleyes:🙃 ).

In these cases our existing logic works in keeping this as one trip.

Core question: what defines a different trip?

Yeah, not as easy as I was thinking earlier. There are trips away from home port and back then next exit from home would be a separate trip. BUT in a number of my old trips, I was sent to nth America for work for ~ a month, and within that time I goofed off somewhere on my own dime for 3-4 days and I'm considering that a separate trip. This would be indistinguishable from a nested work trip without knowing the work/leisure reason.
 
Feature suggestion @tripwaffle

For activities within a trip it would be useful to have a field to mark the priority of the activity (low, medium, high or a scale 1-10) and to be able to filter by priority.

Use case: As a user plans a trip they could add multiple activities and assign a priority. The user could then determine the number of days needed in a location by filtering activities by priority. Alternatively, once an itinerary is confirmed, the user could hide or remove activities to fit the available time by using the priority filter.

A practical example: You're on a road road trip. You have a dozen possible activities between town A and town B. However, you decide to sleep in at town A then have a lazy breakfast. Setting off late for town B there's no way you'll fit all the activities in your day, so could could filter to only the ones you marked as a high priority.
