Get A Lot More Holiday For Less in 2017 !

Here’s a handy tip I read on MSE. A big thank you to Jordon Cox.

FIRST: Get 18 days in a row off work, for “the price of 9”

How?

In 2017, the Easter bank holidays fall late in April, so simply couple those together with the May Day bank holiday and bingo!

If you take 18 days holiday from and including Friday 14th April (Good Friday) until Monday 1st May (May Day bank holiday), you’ll only need to take 9 days annual leave, because your 18 days includes 3 days bank holiday and 6 weekend days. Cool. Best to book it now before your work colleagues beat you to it!

SECOND: Get 10 days off “for the price of 3”

How?

In 2017 the way the bank holidays fall in December lets you get 10 days off work “for the price of 3”. Depart on Saturday 23rd December and return to work on Tuesday 2nd January and you’ll only need to take the 27th, 28th and 29th December as annual leave.

If you don’t work Monday to Friday, sorry !
