How does the Vacation Window Planner work?

The planner uses official public holiday data for your country and identifies bridge days — working days between a public holiday and a weekend. By taking these specific days off, you turn a 1-day public holiday into a 4, 5, or even 9-day break. The planner ranks all available windows by efficiency and builds you a complete vacation plan for the year.

What is a vacation window?

A vacation window is a period of consecutive days off created by combining a public holiday, a bridge day, and a weekend. For example, if a public holiday falls on a Thursday, taking Friday off gives you a 4-day weekend using just 1 leave day. The planner finds every such opportunity in your country for the year.

Which countries are supported?

The planner currently supports Germany, France, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Spain, Austria, Belgium, Italy, Ireland, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland. All holiday data is sourced from official government sources.
