How it works

Start from free days

Weekends and your country's public holidays are days you are already off, no PTO spent.

Bridge the gaps

A short run of workdays sitting between two free stretches is the prize: book those and everything joins into one long break.

Spend the fewest days

We rank bridges by days off per day booked, then fit the best ones into your budget.

What are bridge days?

A bridge day, also called a bridging day, is a workday wedged between a public holiday and a weekend (or between two holidays). Booking it off "bridges" the gap so the days link into one continuous break. When a holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, one bridge day turns a normal weekend into a four-day one; a couple of well-placed days around Christmas or Easter can buy well over a week. This planner finds those spots for you automatically.
