Time is usually figured out during the booking process so the provide can plan ahead.

When you are talking major cash, the best providers are flexible and will not make an issue for an extra hour or two as long as it is arranged ahead. Just don't try to get an extra half a day.

Some ladies have preference for shorter dates, others for longer.

Pricing is naturally one of the ways we use to target desired audience.

So if you see 3k for weekend vs 10k it should give you indication of what that Lady's personal preference is.

As for time .. it usually does start on Fri eve and ends on Sun eve.  

Although when I travel to or with Patrons, times may fluctuate a bit due to flight schedules.

...Friday evening through Sunday morning or afternoon, with flexibility for flight times/getting back to the real world if necessary.

Warrior, you are indeed correct - the rates and definitions for weekedns seem to be all over the map and tend to be defined by the individual escort.  I like doing weekends as well, and it drives me crazy that there's no set standard.  As you said, prices range from $3k to $10K and the time duration seems equally wide ranging.

I have seen one lady who starts at noon on Friday and leaves at noon on Monday (this is rare).  Many define a weekend as Friday evening to Sunday morning (somewhat common) and others from Friday evening to Sunday evening (also common, and my preference).  Curiously, I just saw an ad today in which the escort advertised a "36 hour weekend" - I'm not even sure what that would be - maybe Friday 6pm to Sunday at 6am?  

I've come to the conclusion, after years of wondering about this, that one simply needs to discuss the expectations with the escort and decide if what she proposes (price and time) is sensible for your situation and needs.

it better be the right one, or that weekend is gonna feel like a month!  Ain't nuthin better than havin a guy pay me 5K upfront, then take me shoppin, and eatin, and drinkin, sight seein, then when I finally let him drag my ass back to the room, he has to listen to me bitch that my belly hurts, and I got diarrhea from the kobe beef I ordered, and the 6 margaritas in the downstairs bar.  Then I go sit in the bathroom for an hour.  Then the grande finale!  Even though I don't have the shit's, and I never went to the bathroom, I take about 4 sheets of toilet paper, tear it in 1/2, wet one end, and stuff that between my butt cheeks.  Then I strip down to a bra, thong and heels, making sure that paper is still stuck in my ass crack.
Now if that sucker is still awake after all that time, I cozy up to him, rub my body on his, then roll over on my stomach, showing that toilet paper stuck in my thong, and ask for a massage.
Damn I love overnights and weekend dates!!!

For me a 'weekend'price is any 2 nights...
But this is how travel goes from my perspective:

My prices listed are more to give an idea of what basic amount to expect.

To give an exact quote there are several factors to consider.  Am I flying to him or is he here in my town?  Since I pay for my own airfare; Is he expecting me to get to a town that is more difficult to get to?  Does he expect me to leave immediately or is he giving me enuff time to get a reasonable priced ticket?

Arrival time and departure can be dependent on available flights in and out.  

I try to find out what is going to fit into his schedule and expectations.  

2 nights could mean arriving at 4pm on Tuesday and leaving at noon on Thursday.
Or maybe arriving at 7pm on Friday and leaving Sunday morning or Sunday afternoon.

I've never spent a 2night time period with anyone we weren't doing something(s) interspersed with our more private time.

I'm don't subscribe to such a literal framework and lifestyle.  A person's gotta talk to me for US to work out a plan.  It's about 2 people getting together from my perspective.
