Turn a 3-Day Weekend into a 9-Day Vacation
One of the smartest travel hacks is "stacking" your paid time off around public holidays. By strategically taking a few days off, you can turn a single holiday into a much longer break.
The Stacking Strategy:
- Find a Monday Holiday: Look for a public holiday that falls on a Monday.
- Take Off the 4 Days Before: Request the Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday off before that long weekend.
- The Result: You've used just 4 vacation days to get a 9-day break (Saturday through the following Sunday).
Use our Public Holidays Explorer to identify all the Monday (or Friday) holidays in your country for the year and start planning your super-sized vacations.
